The verdict
AgentPeek is the most comprehensive paid option — 25 recognized agents, a kanban board, and a full chat window for replying to any session, starting at $15 one-time with a 3-day trial. X Island covers fewer agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode) but is completely free and built for speed — approve or auto-accept prompts from the notch with a keyboard-driven flow, installable with one Homebrew command. Pick AgentPeek if you want the broadest agent support and a full session-management interface; pick X Island if you mainly work in those four agents and want a free, fast tool.

- Pick X Island if Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode cover everything you run
