Hey! 👋
I appreciate you reading and supporting the newsletter.
Another Thursday, another issue with the latest tools to help you with daily tasks.
Let’s dive in!
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
FRTMProxy is a free macOS app to observe, understand, and shape HTTP/S traffic in real time. It’s designed for everyday debugging, with a strong focus on clarity and practical workflows.
You can inspect traffic, mock responses without touching your code, record sessions, and replay real-world scenarios in just a few clicks. It also includes dedicated support for connecting iOS simulators and physical devices with guided certificate setup.
Why you will like it:
Inspect requests and responses with a fast, clean, and readable interface.
Define local Rules to mock specific calls without changing your backend or app code.
Record sessions as Collections, export them to HAR, push them to Git, and replay them deterministically.
Use Breakpoints to pause traffic and modify requests or responses on the fly.
Easily connect iOS Simulator or physical devices (QR-based certificate installation).

AI-powered CLI that analyzes your hardware and recommends optimal LLM models.
Deterministic scoring across 200+ dynamic models (35+ curated fallback) with hardware-calibrated memory estimation.
Why you will like it:
200+ dynamic model pool that pulls from the full scraped Ollama catalog and available variants, with a curated fallback when needed.
4D scoring engine that evaluates quality, speed, fit, and context - weighted dynamically by the specific use case.
Multi-GPU hardware detection supporting Apple Silicon, NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm, Intel Arc, and CPU-only systems.
Calibrated memory estimation using a bytes-per-parameter formula validated against real Ollama model sizes.
Zero native dependencies, built in pure JavaScript and compatible with any Node.js 16+ environment.
Optional SQLite search, where installing sql.js enables sync, advanced search, and smart recommendations.

PicoClaw is an ultra-lightweight personal AI Assistant inspired by nanobot, refactored from the ground up in Go through a self-bootstrapping process, where the AI agent itself drove the entire architectural migration and code optimization.
Why you will like it:
Ultra-lightweight with a sub-10 MB memory footprint, delivering core functionality at 99% smaller than Clawdbot.
Minimal cost, efficient enough to run on $10 hardware. 98% cheaper than a Mac mini.
Lightning fast with a 400× faster startup, booting in one second even on a 0.6 GHz single-core system.
True portability via a single self-contained binary across RISC-V, ARM, and x86, enabling one-click deployment.
AI-bootstrapped through an autonomous Go-native implementation, with 95% agent-generated core refined by human-in-the-loop.
