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! 🤝
With build caching, selective testing, and actionable insights, your builds, test runs, and CI workflows fly, so your agents get faster feedback and more reliable results.
See it in action
AI agents write code fast. The hard part is keeping track of everything around them: which session is doing what, what you were even working on yesterday.
Dispatched is a native macOS app that keeps you oriented so you can direct your AI sessions instead of chasing them.
Why you will like it:
Start sessions from GitHub Issues. They auto-rename to match, so you never lose track of what each session is doing.
Plan your day from one view - issues, calendar, reminders. Set a reminder on a session or a ticket and it hits your phone.
Hear when sessions finish, error, or need input. Custom notification sounds so you don’t have to keep checking.
Cmd+R to build in Xcode, launch simulator, jump to PRs and diffs. The shortcuts you’d build yourself if you had time.
No AI account or API keys. It wraps your local CLI. GitHub auth for issues, that’s it.
Supports Claude Code and Codex CLI. Use one, use both. All your sessions in one place instead of scattered across terminals.
Native SwiftUI. Not Electron. Built for Mac developers by one.

CLI for searching, inspecting, and exporting your Codex session history.
It combines fast indexed search with direct transcript scanning, so you can quickly recover past threads, commands, errors, and implementation details whether you’re working yourself or handing context to a coding agent.
Why you will like it:
Fast full-text search over Codex history with an optional SQLite FTS index.
Direct transcript scanning with grep when you want results immediately without indexing.
Inspect threads, metadata, and full turn history from a clean developer-friendly CLI.
Export sessions as JSON, Markdown, or prompt-pack format for handoffs and automation.
Redacts obvious tokens/secrets and sanitizes home-directory paths in human-readable output.
Built for debugging, recall, workflow recovery, and agent-assisted development.
Check out this tool!
CLI-first tool that brings SwiftUI Previews and Hot-reload to any environment.
Why you will like it:
AI-Ready: Includes a plugin for Claude Code to let AI agents “see” and inspect UI autonomously.
IDE Independent: Full support for VS Code and Cursor via extension.
Hot-reload: Instant UI updates from the command line without full rebuilds.
Visual Reports: Generates Storybook-style HTML/Markdown reports from #Preview blocks.
It’s perfect for developers moving away from heavy Xcode-only workflows.
Check out this tool!
Gives you a clear, real-time view of your Claude Code sessions, tracking usage, costs, and history while scanning for leaked credentials, all locally and privately with zero telemetry.
Give it a try!
AI companions that live above your dock. Each one has its own Claude session and a mini window for chatting, coding, or whatever you’re working on.
