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! 🤝
The macOS window manager that gives every app its own Alt-Tab.
Why you will like it:

A real-time AI coding agent status panel for the macOS Dynamic Island (Notch).
Why you will like it:
Expands from the MacBook notch, collapses when idle.
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Trae/Traecli, Qoder, Factory, CodeBuddy, OpenCode, Kimi Code CLI, Cline, Pi / Oh My Pi.
See active sessions, tool calls, and AI responses in real time.
Approve/deny tool permissions directly from the panel.
Respond to agent questions without leaving your current app.
Click a session to jump to its terminal tab or IDE window.
Tab-level terminal detection: only suppresses notifications when you’re looking at the specific session tab, not just the terminal app.
Automatically configures hooks for all detected CLI tools, with auto-repair and version tracking.
Mirror session status to Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, StandBy, and Apple Watch.
English and Chinese, auto-detects system language.
Works with external monitors, auto-detects notch displays.

A type-safe Swift package for Lucide Icons with vector rendering.
Why you will like it:
SVG paths converted to native SwiftUI Shape - scales infinitely to any size without pixelation.
1,738+ enum cases with full Xcode autocomplete - compile-time verification prevents runtime icon-not-found errors.
Full integration of 374+ experimental icons from the Lucide Lab repository.
Pure Swift implementation, no external dependencies at runtime - just Swift and SwiftUI.
Built on SwiftUI’s Shape protocol with full modifier support (.stroke(), .fill(), .frame(), etc.).
Multi-Platform: iOS 14+, macOS 11+, tvOS 14+, watchOS 7+, visionOS 1+.
Control stroke width with strokeWidth parameter.
Keep stroke constant regardless of icon size with absoluteStrokeWidth.
Native SwiftUI Label support for menus, toolbars, and buttons.
Enum lookup ~7× faster than bundle-based approaches; Shape rendering ~2× faster than PDF rasterization.
