I wanted an Amazon Wrapped.

Amazon was never going to build one.

So I did.

@WadeWegner What? I am sorry 😕

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

Arcade is open source if you want to peek under the hood → https://t.co/0DbHiCs1P0

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

6 months ago I was a web dev who'd never written Swift.

Last month I shipped Arcade: multimodal AI playground, 16 providers, native SwiftUI, no Electron.

Anyone can generate a Mac app with AI. Almost none of them feel native.

I'm writing the playbook for the difference. $29 pre-order, $49 launch.

Would you buy? Reply or DM.

Claude Code is down so I can’t continue building the app no one asked for and no one needs

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

It's open source! grab it or poke around the code on GitHub - https://t.co/HmJPFZv2JU

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

I built a Mac app called Arcade and it's basically a playground for LLM APIs.

15+ providers. Text, image, audio, video. Bring your own API key.

Cmd+K to jump between endpoints, streaming for chat models, example prompts baked in so you can just hit go.

It's been really fun to build honestly 🙂

Down with the flu and somehow I sound like Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf of Wall Street

Been doing the humming chest-thump impression for my wife all morning

She doesn’t seem impressed

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

@dvassallo I am afraid to ask 🙂

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

blasphemous, claude code is down.

what's a variable again?

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

@dvassallo 100%. The prompts definitely give you more insight into the thinking and the mental model than the final product does.

Remember reading this from a university professor who was doing that to grade student assignments.

RIP bazillion speech to text apps.

Including a hacky version I had made for myself few months ago lol

Voice mode is rolling out now in Claude Code. It’s live for ~5% of users today, and will be ramping through the coming weeks.

You'll see a note on the welcome screen once you have access. /voice to toggle it on!

Stop Claude-coding yourself into a corner. 🚫🤖

@amit built a simple CLI tool that automates setup & forces you to document your intent before you write a single function. We're showing you how. ⬇️

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

@amorriscode just me or claude code seems to be asking for way too many permission requests in a session?

started seeing this last couple days I think

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

Been playing with Xcode 26.3 RC for a few weeks and it’s been pretty awesome.

You can add custom model providers too:

Settings → Intelligence → Add Provider

Here’s Xcode wired up to @digitalocean Inference.

[Greg Joswiak @gregjoz]

Xcode 26.3 with Claude Agent & Codex hits the Mac App Store today! With advanced reasoning capabilities in Xcode, you can streamline workflows and build faster. And MCP support lets you easily connect other compatible agents.

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

@linuz90 @conductor_build Oh, I’d love to know how you’ve set it up. Is it still in some sort of a sandbox?

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

@lawrencecchen Woah! I know what I am trying out tonight 🙂

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

I'd imagine @OpenAI would be coming out with something like this soon (maybe improved experience of @openclaw) would be the answer?

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

I think Claude’s remote control is already changed my behavior.

ChatGPT used to be my default on mobile for random everyday AI stuff.

and today, I’ve already opened Claude way more on my phone without thinking

I'd think this is a big win for Anthropic.

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

Just giving claude remote control a shot.

got it running on my phone and asked it to check open GitHub issues for a repo.

it tries to run gh repo and asks for permission, but the prompt only shows up in my local terminal, not on the phone.

so from the phone it just… hangs.

am I missing something?

[Amit Jotwani @amit]

@noahzweben PSA: people coming here because permissions approvals not showing up on phone, need to update the claude app on the phone 🙂

yup, that's exactly what it was!
