About
I'm a software engineer working on cloud systems, developer tools and AI workflows. AI agents made writing code cheap. What stays scarce is the judgment to build the right thing and carry it all the way to shipped. I read how a system works before I change it, then take the work through to a release.

Open a row for the decisions
Desktop app and JSON CLI for watching Claude Code, Codex and Cursor Agent sessions.
- Find sessions by scanning OS processes.It works with any terminal or IDE. No plugin, no launcher.
- Tauri, Rust and Svelte instead of Electron.A monitor should not add to the load of the agents it watches.
- A JSON CLI next to the dashboard.Agents read the same session state that I do.
Native Rust Markdown viewer for browsing folders of .md files.
- Render Mermaid, Graphviz and LaTeX natively.No embedded browser and no JavaScript runtime. The LaTeX layout engine is my own library.
- Expose an IPC socket and a CLI.Any program or agent can open files, scroll and switch views.
Native Mac app that shows your Herdr coding agents' conversations in a readable layout: see which agent needs you, read what each did, reply in one place. Unofficial, not affiliated with Herdr, Inc.
- Put the agent that needs you first.Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and pi sit in one inbox. You answer the blocked ones and leave the rest working.
- Read the conversation, not the terminal.Each agent's work is a readable thread, and you can reply from the same screen.
- Native SwiftUI with Liquid Glass.v0.1.1 shipped on 2026-10-11, signed, notarized and universal. MIT licensed. A Linux and Windows port in Rust and iced is in progress.
Tiny macOS menu bar app: hold a key, speak, and the text appears wherever your cursor is.
- Push to talk, paste at the cursor.It works in any text field, and the clipboard is restored after the paste.
- Bring your own key.OpenAI, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Keys stay in the Keychain.
- Native Swift with no dependencies.About 2,000 lines of AppKit and SwiftUI, so it stays small and quiet in the menu bar.
Local-first desktop AI chat client with a real agent loop.
Research prototype that compares chat, graphical and hybrid shopping flows.
Now
Shipping three tools for working alongside coding agents: c9watch 0.11 tells you what a waiting agent needs and what it did while you were away; Flockbook, a native Mac app for reading and replying to agents in one place, heading to v0.2; and rmdv 0.9, a Markdown reader with calmer, Notion-like typography.
