I started building local AI tools to understand how they actually work.

A few weeks later: six projects running on my Mac Mini. Each on a different port. Managed across terminals.

The gap between idea and working system is shrinking fast.

McLuhan said it best: we shape our tools, then our tools shape us.

I needed a control layer. But I’m not a designer. Then Anthropic released Claude Design. I tried it the same day.

After a quick brainstorm between agents and Claude Design — I had a local-first control plane.

All project status visible. Nothing running unnecessarily.
