Small software. Strong opinions. I kept finding little things that should work better. So I started fixing them. This may have gotten slightly out of hand.
Not Our solutions
These started as my problems. You might recognize a few.
Email · macOS & iPhone
Your inbox has people in it.Send remembers that.
Other inboxes stack up messages. Send lines up people: one row each, every conversation inside, and the ones you want to hear from first.
Writing · macOS
Better English. Still sounds like you.
Select text in any Mac app and press ⇧⌘E. Clearer English appears right where you’re writing.
No pasting into ChatGPT and back
No sounding like somebody else
No text leaving your Mac
Development · macOS
Your agents are busy. You shouldn’t be checking on them.
See which Claude session in VS Code is working, finished, or waiting for you, and jump to it with ⌥Tab.
No clicking through windows to check
No agent left waiting for you
No guessing which one needs you
Earlier, rougher, possibly a terrible idea. That’s how the others started too.
Agents · macOS
I got tired of being the clipboard between my agents.
Research in one chat. Code in three agent sessions. Me, carrying context between them.
ADE is an experiment in one window for all my projects. No brain rot from juggling agents, no long chats holding everything up. I make the decisions; it keeps the agents, prompts and context moving. I’m testing it by building Send with it.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, if you insist, an Agentic Development Environment.
Not Our values
Learned the hard way, mostly.
Especially when they happen twenty times a day. At some point, fixing them becomes easier than putting up with them.
It’s easy to keep adding things. Knowing what to leave out is the hard part.
I don’t think you should have to spend time configuring an app before it becomes useful. That’s what defaults are for.
Which is a great way to discover all the things I thought were good ideas but weren’t.
I have strong opinions about how things should work. Some of them don’t survive contact with reality.
You opened an app because you wanted to do something. The sooner you can get back to your life, the better.
Not Meet the team
I spent twenty years building software and keeping it running. Fixing outages. Automating the tedious bits. Developing opinions.
Eventually, complaining stopped being enough.
Unfortunately, I know how to code.
So I started building the tools I wished existed. Some problems call for a tiny utility. Apparently, my inbox called for an entire email client.
I scratch my own itches. You get the apps.
That’s Itch Scratched.
