Uses

The hardware, software, and tools I actually use to build. Most of my daily software is stuff I built myself.

Editor and terminal

Codex: OpenAI’s coding agent and the other half of my daily loop next to Claude Code. I switch between the two by task, and as a Codex ambassador it gets a lot of hours.
Claude Code: The core of how I build now. Every session opens with the same prompt: research deeply, plan in phases, fan out a swarm of subagents.
cmux: Parallel agent workspaces. I review what the agents change through DiffHub, my own local diff viewer.

Hardware

MacBook Pro: Runs Claude Code around the clock.
Kinesis Advantage: A contoured split board with concave key wells and thumb clusters. It keeps my wrists neutral and my hands still through long Claude Code and Codex sessions.
iPhone: A remote control for the MacBook. I SSH in to build from the couch or merge from bed.

Apps and glue

The glue layer nobody invests in, where the gains hide.

Raycast: Snippets for every repeated prompt. Typing ‘zcc’ expands to my full Claude Code kickoff in three keystrokes.

My apps

Software I built and use every day.

Done Bear: A calm, local-first task manager for focused people and teams. I run my day out of it.
Convene: Open-source meeting transcription for macOS.

What I built

The Glide typeface, the Blode Icons set, the Blode UI registry, and the agents are on the Blode Stack. Everything else, client work included, is in all projects.
