Your vibe coding companion.
Elvix lives in your Mac's notch and keeps everything you need to code within reach — your Claude sessions, tasks, notes, music, AI chat. Stay in your flow, without ever leaving your editor.
Click a mode, a tab — or hover the bar.
Your flow comes first.
Everything else waits its turn.
Elvix only talks to you when it matters. The rest of the time it just sits there, quiet, in the corner of your eye.
Check without breaking stride
A glance at the notch tells you where every Claude stands. No more switching tabs to see if it's done.
Notified at the right moment
A discreet sound when Claude is finished or needs your confirmation. Silence the rest of the time — your focus stays intact.
Click, back to terminal
When you decide to come back, one click brings the right iTerm, Ghostty or Terminal tab to the front. No window hunting.
Your quick tasks, right here
Todos, notes, reminders and a music player in the same bar. Stop leaving your editor for 10-second chores.
AI chat within reach
Got a question? OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter, two keystrokes away. No browser to open.
Global shortcut
⌥ + ⌘ + J opens the bar from any app. Rebind it if you like. Nothing else steals focus.
100% local
Zero telemetry, zero accounts, zero servers. No marketing nags, no app begging for attention.
Customizable sounds
14 native macOS sounds, silent mode one toggle away. Subtle or loud — you decide.
Light and native
SwiftUI + AppKit, signed and notarized by Apple. The app won't eat your CPU or RAM — it disappears when you're not looking.
