I released a new app today for macOS. It's called AI Buddy. It allows you to do voice dictation using the Gemini API and also to take cropped screenshots.
I cancelled my Todoist subscription today. At some point, they updated the plans, and they kept a legacy plan and added a new plan.
So I was bothered by that, and today I figured out my annual subscription was due, so I cancelled it because I don't see the value in it anymore.
The Gemini 35 Flash model is remarkably good at speech-to-text. I tried Romanian with it as well and it's very good with multilingual support. It could be a bit faster, but other than that, it's really, really good.
I tried a few voice dictation apps on my Mac. Some of them were eating too much RAM, while others were unreliable. They were cutting my speech off, etc.
I built my own app with Claude Code, and it took me half an hour. I replaced a $ 10-a-month subscription in the process.
@nickgraynews@vimota@AnnikaSays if the mac app turned you off because it didn't feel like the real terminal, that was my hangup too. https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG is a native mac app but each tile is the actual claude code TUI streamed live, so you keep the terminal feel and get a window you can run several in
@jeffwhelpley yeah the context switch is the real skill, the worktrees are the easy part. the thing that made 4+ feel calm for me was seeing them all in one grid instead of cycling terminal tabs, so the one that needs me is obvious at a glance. https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG is what i use for it
@ivanfioravanti what helps me is keeping the claude code ones in a single grid where each tile is the real TUI, so i can see who needs me and broadcast one prompt to all of them. https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG does that
@biiordache what fixed it for me was putting all the sessions in one grid so i glance across them instead of alt-tabbing, and i can type one prompt and send it to every one at once. i use https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG for that
@MSilb7 no ETA sadly, but the next best thing is a ping when it finishes so you can walk away. i get a desktop notification the moment a session ends its turn, which scratches the same itch of not babysitting the terminal. https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG does it across every session
@adrianwallis_uk what keeps it from turning into chaos for me is one screen showing every worktree session live, so reviewing becomes glancing instead of jumping between them. i built https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG for exactly that moment
@cto_junior for me the trick was getting it out of my head and onto one screen. i group sessions into named tabs by project so each task has a home. i built https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG around this if you want the grid view, but even tmux with a naming convention gets you most of the way.
@rozzabuilds same thing happened to me, open a second one and the first falls out of my head. i built https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG for exactly that, a grid of the real claude TUIs where you can also broadcast one prompt to all of them
@proxy_vector this is exactly the trap, the spawning is easy and the watching is what kills you. what helped me was seeing every agent in one place instead of context switching between terminals, https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG does that if you ever come back to this setup.
@ben_ai_eng@Daeshawn the watching is the real tax once you're past two or three of them. what helped me was putting every session in one grid instead of following each terminal live. i use https://t.co/dcuvf7AUTG for that. doesn't lower the diff-review load, just the alt-tab overhead.
