initial: four-collection content pipeline for unique.rzen.dev

A small Astro + MDX blog for delightful, daily-use finds. The architecture separates capture from publication and supports reuse: - find/ captured items, hidden from indexes - finds/ editorial superposts referencing find slugs in a grid - reviews/ full-length writeups; can graduate from a find via fromFind - posts/ regular essays Three project-local skills under .claude/skills/ drive the pipeline: daily-finds (capture-only sweep across sources.json), build-finds (draft a thematic superpost), build-review (graduate a find). sources.json carries 47 curated feeds with per-source fetch strategy (webfetch / curl / skip) so Cloudflare-blocked sites and Reddit JSON endpoints are handled deterministically. /sources renders a 3-column card stream with a "Recent finds" cross-reference per source. Seeds: 17 reviews and one superpost referencing 5 finds.

 # build-finds
 Author one editorial superpost (collection: `finds`) that references existing find items. Each superpost has a theme, a short blurb, and an `items` array listing find slugs. The grid layout is rendered by the page template — this skill only writes the MDX.
 Invoke from inside the `unique.rzen.dev` repo.
 ## Inputs
 - `src/content/find/*.mdx` — the available pool of finds.
 - `src/content/finds/*.mdx` — existing superposts (used to detect already-referenced finds).
 - Optional argument: a theme phrase (e.g. "single-virtue tools", "things-disguised-as-other-things").
 - Optional argument: an explicit list of find slugs the user wants in the post.
 ## Procedure
 ### 1. Determine candidate pool
 - If the user provided explicit slugs: use those.
 - If the user provided a theme phrase only: scan all finds, surface the 8–12 that best fit the theme.
 - If neither: scan recent (last ~14 days) finds that are **not yet referenced** by any existing superpost (read every `items[]` array; subtract). From the unreferenced pool, propose 1–3 thematic clusters of 5–10 finds each, with a candidate theme phrase per cluster.
 Re-use is allowed — a find can appear in multiple superposts under different themes. But by default, prefer surfacing **unreferenced** finds first; only reach for re-uses when the theme genuinely calls for them.
 ### 2. Confirm the cluster
 If proposing clusters, show the user:
 ```
 Cluster A — "<theme phrase>"
  - <slug>: <name>
  - <slug>: <name>
  - ...
 Cluster B — "<theme phrase>"
  ...
 ```
 Wait for the user to pick a cluster (or refine). Don't write anything until confirmed.
 ### 3. Write the superpost
 File: `src/content/finds/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<theme-slug>.mdx` (theme-slug = kebab-case of the theme phrase, lowercase, ~30 chars max).
 Frontmatter:
 ```yaml
 ---
 title: "<Theme phrased as a noun phrase, max ~60 chars>"
 date: YYYY-MM-DD
 tags: [daily-finds, <topic-tag-1>, <topic-tag-2>]
 description: "<One-line description for meta tags. Reuse the title if nothing better.>"
 blurb: "<One short editorial sentence; appears as the post's secondary line in the home feed.>"
 items:
  - <slug>
  - <slug>
  - ...
 ---
 ```
 Body: a brief audience-facing intro paragraph (1–2 sentences max) — open with "Today's catch" or a close variant; name what links these finds; vary the wording day to day. **No** numbered candidates, no headings inside the body, no list items — the grid renders from `items[]`.
 Example body:
 ```mdx
 > Today's catch from a morning sweep across the daily feeds. Five small things, each one built around exactly one virtue — a single sound, a single diagnostic, a single disguise, a single object made, a single quiet joke.
 ```
 ### 4. Verify
 - Confirm every slug in `items[]` exists at `src/content/find/<slug>.mdx`. If any is missing, abort and report — never reference a non-existent find.
 - Run `npm run build` to confirm the new superpost compiles.
 ### 5. Update the log
 Append to `daily-finds.log.md`:
 ```
 ## YYYY-MM-DD — superpost: <theme>
 Slug: <date>-<theme-slug>
 Items referenced:
  - <slug>
  - <slug>
  ...
 ```
 ## Notes
 - Default to 5 finds per superpost. Use 3 for tighter themes, up to 8 if the theme really supports it. Beyond 8 the grid stops being scannable.
 - The body is for the audience, not the user. Never write "pick one", "candidates", "today's pick" — those are internal terms.
 - Never edit existing find files when building a superpost. The find body and metadata are stable; the superpost only references them.
 - If a find that's referenced has been graduated to a review (its frontmatter has `promotedTo`), it can still appear in the superpost — the grid card simply links to the find page, which itself links forward to the review.

 # build-review
 Convert one captured `find` into a full `review`. Both records persist — the find stays put as the historical capture, the review becomes the canonical long-form treatment, and the two link to each other.
 Invoke from inside the `unique.rzen.dev` repo with a find slug as the argument.
 ## Inputs
 - `src/content/find/<slug>.mdx` — the source find (must exist; abort otherwise).
 - `src/content/reviews/<slug>.mdx` — must NOT exist (abort if a review with the same slug is already there; ask the user to disambiguate).
 ## Procedure
 ### 1. Read the find
 Parse frontmatter. Note: `name`, `subtitle`, `link`, `linkText`, `source`, `topics`, `tags`, plus the body.
 If `promotedTo` is already set, abort: "This find has already been promoted to <slug>."
 ### 2. Suggest a hero asset
 Look at the external link and propose a hero asset — a screenshot, demo gif, or product photo from the maker's site.
 - Mac apps: an App Store screenshot or hero image from the developer's site.
 - Physical products: the maker's product photo.
 - Travel destinations: a Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons photo (free-to-use only).
 Tell the user what you'd download and where to place it (`src/assets/reviews/<slug>/hero.<ext>` or similar). Pause for approval before downloading.
 ### 3. Expand the body
 Take the find's 2-3 sentence body and expand it to a full review:
 - Lead with a `>` blockquote summary (1-2 sentences) — this renders as the accent-bordered lead per the existing review style.
 - 3-5 paragraphs covering: what it is, the specific problem it solves, the concrete details that make it earn its place, and any honest limitations.
 - Reference the hero asset inline if downloaded (`![alt](../../assets/reviews/<slug>/hero.png)`).
 - Don't pad. If the find body is already complete, the review is just it + a blockquote summary + maybe one paragraph on context.
 - Match the voice of existing reviews under `src/content/reviews/` — informative, concise, no sales tone.
 ### 4. Write the review
 File: `src/content/reviews/<slug>.mdx`.
 Frontmatter:
 ```yaml
 ---
 name: "<from the find>"
 subtitle: "<from the find — required for reviews>"
 date: YYYY-MM-DD             # today (the review date), not the find's date
 category: <pick from existing categories or propose a new one>
 tags: <merge the find's tags with any review-specific additions>
 link: "<from the find>"
 linkText: "<from the find, if set>"
 description: "<short meta description>"
 source: "<from the find>"
 fromFind: "<find slug>"
 ---
 ```
 If the find had no `subtitle`, generate one — it's required on reviews.
 ### 5. Update the find
 Edit `src/content/find/<slug>.mdx` frontmatter: add `promotedTo: <review-slug>`.
 (Slug usually matches the find's slug, so `promotedTo` and the find's filename match.)
 ### 6. Verify
 - Run `npm run build`. Confirm:
  - `/reviews/<slug>/` exists, shows the source badge and "← First surfaced…" backlink to the find page.
  - `/find/<slug>/` shows the "→ Read the full review" callout pointing to the review.
  - Any superpost that references the find still renders fine; the find card on the grid remains.
 ### 7. Update the log
 Append to `daily-finds.log.md`:
 ```
 ## YYYY-MM-DD — review: <slug>
 Graduated from find captured on <find-date>, source: <source>.
 ```
 ## Notes
 - The find's slug and the review's slug should match. Same slug = same item across the pipeline; cross-references stay simple.
 - Don't move or delete the find. Both records persist. The find is the historical capture; the review is the long-form treatment.
 - Never auto-write a review without showing the user the proposed body first. This is editorial work; the skill's job is to draft, not to publish unilaterally.
 - If multiple finds describe the same underlying thing, the user should consolidate them manually before running this skill.

 name: daily-finds
 description: Capture-only daily sweep for unique.rzen.dev. Scans every source in sources.json, writes one find file per qualifying item to src/content/find/, and nominates 1-2 new sources to consider. Does NOT pick a winner, write a superpost, or address the user/audience. Picking happens via /build-finds and /build-review.

 # daily-finds
 Pure capture: every item that passes the bar becomes a `find` file. No daily cap, no theme detection, no audience-facing post. Whether any of these finds appears in a `finds` superpost or graduates to a review is a separate editorial decision.
 Invoke from inside the `unique.rzen.dev` repo.
 ## Inputs
 - `sources.json` at the project root — curated source list with per-source `fetch` strategy (`webfetch` / `curl` / `skip`) and optional `fetchUrl`.
 - `daily-finds.log.md` — running log of every find slug ever written (used to skip duplicates).
 - `src/content/find/*.mdx` — already-captured finds (every existing slug is a "do not re-suggest" item).
 - `src/content/reviews/*.mdx` — already-reviewed items (do not re-suggest).
 - `candidate-sources.md` — newly nominated sources awaiting user vetting.
 ## The bar
 A find qualifies if and only if it is **(a)** delightful, unusual, or distinctive in a way the audience would care about *and* **(b)** usable daily (relax to "memorable for a visitor" for travel). Drop generic mass-market items, ad-copy listicles, speculative / not-yet-shipping products, self-promo, and anything not traceable to a real currently-buyable / currently-visitable thing.
 Crucially: do **not** filter by "is it the best of the day." Capture broadly. Editorial selection happens later.
 ## Procedure
 ### 1. Scan every source
 For each source in `sources.json`:
 - **Default (`fetch: "webfetch"` or no field)**: WebFetch against `fetchUrl` if present, else `url`. Extract recently-featured items (name, link, one-line description).
 - **`fetch: "curl"`**: shell out to `curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.0 Safari/605.1.15" --max-time 25 "<fetchUrl|url>"` and parse the HTML body. For Reddit JSON endpoints, pipe through `python3 -c '…'` to extract titles, links, and selftext. Treat HTTP 403 with a non-empty HTML body as a content response (Atlas Obscura quirk) — only treat empty bodies or Cloudflare challenge markers as blocked.
 - **`fetch: "skip"`**: log the source as skipped (with `skipReason`) and move on. Do not retry.
 Parallelize WebFetch in batches of ~8 concurrent requests; finish all sources before proceeding.
 For each source record: items extracted, or `empty` / `blocked` / `skipped`.
 ### 2. Filter
 For each extracted item, drop:
 - Anything whose slug already exists in `src/content/find/`.
 - Anything whose name appears anywhere in `daily-finds.log.md`.
 - Anything reviewed in `src/content/reviews/` (compare by `name` field).
 - Items that fail the bar above.
 ### 3. Write find files
 For every survivor, write one file at `src/content/find/<slug>.mdx`:
 - Slug: kebab-case form of the name (lowercase, ASCII, no leading numbers).
 - Frontmatter: `name`, `subtitle` (optional, one-liner), `date` (today), `link` (external URL — required), `linkText` (optional), `source` (the source name from sources.json — required, exact match), `topics` (copied from the source's `topics`), `tags` (free editorial tags inferred from the item — keep to 2-4), `description` (optional meta override).
 - Body: 2-3 sentence note. Concrete, name a *specific* virtue. Bad: "great design". Good: "the silicone bumper means it survives drops onto concrete; the lanyard hole is positioned where your thumb naturally rests".
 - No daily cap — write every survivor.
 If `link` for a Reddit-discovered item points at a v.redd.it / i.redd.it URL, fetch the post's selftext or comments to find the actual product URL before writing the file.
 ### 4. Nominate 1–2 new sources
 Spend a small slice of the run on source discovery:
 - During scans, when another publication / blog / shop / newsletter is referenced in a way that suggests it'd fit the brief, capture it.
 - Or run one targeted `WebSearch` for `"best <topic> newsletter"` or `"<topic> curator blog"`.
 - Append nominees to `candidate-sources.md` (create if missing) under today's date heading. For each: name, URL, a one-line case for adding, and which existing source surfaced it (or "WebSearch").
 - Don't auto-add to `sources.json` — that's a user decision.
 ### 5. Update the log
 Append to `daily-finds.log.md`:
 ```
 ## YYYY-MM-DD — capture run
 Sources scanned: <N> total — <hits> hits, <empty> empty, <blocked> blocked, <skipped> skipped.
 Productive sources: <comma-separated list of sources that produced at least one written find>.
 Captured finds:
 - <slug> — <name> — source: <source>
 - <slug> — <name> — source: <source>
 - ...
 New source nominees: <count> (see candidate-sources.md).
 ```
 ### 6. Report to the user
 Short summary in chat:
 ```
 Captured <N> finds across <M> productive sources today.
 Blocked: <K> sources. New source nominees: <count>.
 Run /build-finds to draft a superpost from the recent pool, or /build-review <slug> to graduate one to a review.
 ```
 That's it. No theme, no candidates list, no "pick a winner."
 ## Notes
 - "Why it fits" / find descriptions should name a *specific* virtue. Bad: "great design". Good: "magnetic connector means it never strains the cable when a foot catches it".
 - Travel destinations relax the daily-use criterion — a place qualifies if a visitor would remember it years later.
 - If a source's homepage is too noisy, prefer adding a `fetchUrl` to `sources.json` rather than working around it inside the skill.
 - Never invent slugs that collide with existing finds or reviews. If a name would produce a colliding slug, append a year or distinguishing word.
 - Source attribution must be exact — the `source` field in each find file must match a `name` in `sources.json` so the `/sources` page cross-reference works.

 # Changelog
 ## May 2026
 - Restructure into a four-collection content pipeline: `find` (captured items, hidden from indexes), `finds` (editorial superposts that reference find slugs in a Pinterest-style grid), `reviews` (existing — gains optional `source` and `fromFind` fields for graduations), and `posts` (existing, generic essays)
 - New routes `/find/<slug>/` (direct URL only — finds don't appear on home, tag, or category pages) and `/finds/<slug>/` (superpost detail with intro + grid)
 - New components: `FindCard`, `FindsGrid`, `Backlinks`, `SourceBadge`
 - `/sources` cards gain a "Recent finds" sub-list per source — the one cross-cutting surface where individual finds are visible
 - Find pages show "Featured in:" backlinks computed at build time from any superpost referencing them; review pages show "← First surfaced…" when promoted from a find
 - New project-local skills under `.claude/skills/`: `daily-finds` (capture-only — no theme detection, no candidate post, no winner pick), `build-finds` (editorial superpost author), `build-review` (find → review graduation)
 - `sources.json` gains per-source `fetch` strategy (`webfetch` / `curl` / `skip`) with optional `fetchUrl` override; 11 sources switch to curl with a Safari User-Agent (Cool Material, MoMA Design Store, StyleForum, Atlas Obscura, etc.); 9 marked `skip` after Cloudflare JS challenges and active anti-bot defeats both WebFetch and curl
 - New `/sources` page (3-column card stream listing every source with its type, cadence, topics, and notes)
 - Migrate the seed daily-finds post: extract 5 candidates into individual find files, slim the superpost to just the intro paragraph, move from `posts/` to `finds/`
 - Initial `sources.json` curated across macOS apps, useful tools, gifts, clothing, travel, and general-delight feeds (47 sources)
 - Daily-finds capture log at `daily-finds.log.md`; new-source nominations queued at `candidate-sources.md`
 - Initial blog scaffold with Astro 5 (content collections, no client JS)
 - Base layout with light/dark theme via `prefers-color-scheme`
 - Index page listing posts by date (newest first)
 - Per-post page with title, date, category, optional external link, tags
 - Auto-generated category and tag listing pages
 - Seed content: 12 posts on delightful Mac apps (Cotypist, Folder Peek, DockDoor, TypeWhisper, Hyperkey, AntiNote, FluxMarkdown, Monocle, Alcove, Shottr, MiddleDrag, LinearMouse)
 - Switch to MDX (`@astrojs/mdx`) for post bodies
 - Restructure into two content types: `reviews` (name + subtitle + body) and `posts` (title + body, empty for now)
 - Unified entry helper (`src/lib/entries.ts`) and shared `EntryList` component so the home, category, and tag pages render a mixed chronological feed across collections
 - Reviews route moved to `/reviews/<slug>/`; review detail pages show name as `<h1>` with subtitle as a tagline beneath
 - Index entries now show two lines for reviews (bold name + muted subtitle), single line for posts
 - Migrate the 12 seed entries from `src/content/posts/*.md` to `src/content/reviews/*.mdx` with the new schema
 - Add 5 new reviews: Ice (interface), AltTab (interface), Mac Mouse Fix (input), Homerow (input), Tot (writing)
 - Establish media convention at `src/assets/reviews/<slug>/` for real screenshots/clips downloaded from each app's site
 - Add visuals to 15 of 17 reviews (mp4 demos, animated gifs, or App Store screenshots), with one-line italic captions naming what's shown
 - Style images and videos in review pages: max-width 100%, centered, soft border-radius; italic-only paragraphs auto-render as captions
 - Use `import …?url` for animated GIFs (cotypist, flux-markdown) to bypass Sharp and preserve animation
 - linearmouse and middledrag intentionally have no visual: linearmouse.app is JS-only with no scrapeable demo and the repo carries no screenshots; the `artginzburg/MiddleDrag` repo cited in the review no longer exists
 - Rewrite all 17 reviews — informative, concise, no sales tone; longer reviews lead with a pre-review blockquote summary
 - Style `.body blockquote` as a confident lead (accent left-border, no italics, foreground color) on review and post detail pages
 - Add optional `linkText` field to reviews: overrides the external-link label (e.g. "Visit in App Store" or "Visit on GitHub"); defaults to the link's hostname with `www.` stripped
 - Sample a Pinterest-like 3-column tile stream at `/grid/` (CSS `column-count` masonry, no JS); responsive to 2 cols / 1 col on narrow viewports
 - `src/lib/hero.ts` maps slug → hero asset (image or video) so the grid can render visuals; reviews without media (linearmouse, middledrag) become text-only tiles with an accent gradient
 - Add `wide` prop to `BaseLayout` for pages that need a wider max-width than the default reading column
 - Floating "grid view →" link from the home page; the main index keeps its plain list layout
 - Add a CSS-only scroll-snap carousel for reviews with multiple visuals: each `<figure>` slide carries its own `<figcaption>`; pure CSS, no client JS; thin scrollbar visible on desktop, swipe on touch
 - Expand 8 reviews into multi-slide carousels with downloaded media — antinote (5), typewhisper (6), dockdoor (3), shottr (3), folder-peek (3), homerow (3), ice (3), tot (2); 28 slides total across the site
 - Limit the home page index to the 12 most recent entries across all collections; older entries remain reachable via `/grid/`, categories, and tags

 # Unique
 A small blog about delightful, unique things — products, apps, phenomena, oddities.
 Built with [Astro](https://astro.build) + MDX.
 ## Key features
 - **Four-collection pipeline**: `find` (captured items, hidden from indexes), `finds` (editorial superposts that reference find slugs in a grid), `reviews` (full-length, sometimes graduated from a find), `posts` (generic essays)
 - **Daily capture skills** under `.claude/skills/`: `daily-finds` (sweeps every source in `sources.json`, writes one find file per qualifying item — capture-only, no editorial selection); `build-finds` (drafts a thematic superpost from the find pool); `build-review` (graduates a find to a full review, linking the two via `fromFind` / `promotedTo`)
 - **Sources catalog** at `sources.json` with per-source fetch strategy (`webfetch` / `curl` / `skip`) and the `/sources` page rendering a 3-column card stream with a "Recent finds" sub-list per card
 - **Strict find visibility**: find items are reachable only via the superposts that reference them, the `/sources` cross-reference, or direct URL — they don't crowd the home feed, tag pages, or category pages
 - **Backlinks** computed at build time: each find page lists every superpost that references it; promoted finds show a forward link to the review; reviews show a "← First surfaced…" backlink to their originating find
 - **Unified chronological feed** on the home page across reviews + finds (superposts) + posts
 - Reviews render as two-line index entries: bold name + muted subtitle (`Cotypist` / *Autocomplete that lives everywhere on your Mac*)
 - Auto-generated `/categories/<name>/` and `/tags/<name>/` listing pages — finds excluded by design
 - Light/dark mode via `prefers-color-scheme`
 - No JavaScript shipped to the client
 - Static build, deployable anywhere
 ## Local development
 ```bash
 npm install
 npm run dev      # local dev server
 npm run build    # type-check + static build to ./dist
 npm run preview  # serve the built site
 ```
 ## Adding a review
 Create an MDX file under `src/content/reviews/<slug>.mdx`:
 ```mdx
 ---
 name: "Cotypist"
 subtitle: "Autocomplete that lives everywhere on your Mac"
 date: 2026-05-03
 category: writing
 tags: [macos, productivity]
 link: https://cotypist.app/        # optional product URL
 linkText: "Visit in App Store"     # optional; defaults to the link's hostname (sans `www.`)
 description: "Optional <meta> override; defaults to subtitle."
 ---
 Body in markdown / MDX. You can import and use components here.
 ```
 The slug becomes the URL at `/reviews/<slug>/`.
 ## Media
 Visuals for a review live at `src/assets/reviews/<slug>/`, mirroring the slug. Reference them from MDX with relative paths so Astro's image pipeline picks them up (responsive variants, lazy loading, modern formats):
 ```mdx
 ![alt text](../../assets/reviews/<slug>/feature.png)
 ```
 Prefer real screenshots, GIFs, or short clips from the app's own site (downloaded locally — don't hotlink). Pair with a short italic caption that names what's being shown. Visuals should illustrate the virtue of the product, not decorate the page.
 ## Adding a post (essay)
 Create an MDX file under `src/content/posts/<slug>.mdx`:
 ```mdx
 ---
 title: "Some essay title"
 date: 2026-05-10
 category: writing
 tags: [meta, opinion]
 description: "Optional <meta> tag override."
 ---
 Body in markdown / MDX.
 ```
 The slug becomes the URL at `/posts/<slug>/`.
 ## Project layout
 ```
 src/
  content.config.ts          # collection schemas (reviews, posts)
  assets/
    reviews/<slug>/          # hero images and screenshots per review
  content/
    reviews/*.mdx            # product reviews
    posts/*.mdx              # essays (empty for now)
  lib/
    entries.ts               # getAllEntries() — unified feed across collections
  components/
    EntryList.astro          # shared two-shape entry list
  layouts/

    reviews/[...slug].astro
    posts/[...slug].astro
    categories/[category].astro
    tags/[tag].astro
 public/
  favicon.svg
 ```
 ## Adding a new content type
 1. Define the collection in `src/content.config.ts`.
 2. Extend the `Entry` union and `getAllEntries()` in `src/lib/entries.ts` so the new type joins the merged feed.
 3. Add a detail route at `src/pages/<type>/[...slug].astro`.
 Listing pages (index, categories, tags) need no changes — they consume `getAllEntries()`.

 New source nominees: 1 (see candidate-sources.md).
 ### Source maintenance for next pruning pass
 - **uhotw.com**: domain expired and is now a gambling site. Update to `unusualhotelsoftheworld.com` or remove.
 - **Standard & Strange Journal**: `/blogs/journal` returned 404 — find current journal URL.
 - **Indie App Sunday**: Mastodon hashtag URL needs the right format (`https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieAppSunday` 404'd; try `.../tags/indieappsunday`).
 - **17 sources block WebFetch with 403** — likely Cloudflare. Many of these would work via `curl` with a browser User-Agent. Consider adding `fetch: curl` mode for a `--with-headers=browser` strategy, or accept that ~⅓ of sources need a different fetch path.

 > A small UI surface that uses the MacBook notch as a Dynamic Island for music, AirPods, AirDrop, and charging. The notch is already a black strip Apple asks you to ignore — Alcove makes the pixels useful.
 Plug in headphones and a connection indicator unfurls from the notch. Start playing music and album art appears with scrubbable controls. AirDrop incoming, MacBook charging, AirPods nearby with low battery — each event blooms briefly and recedes. The widget is small, contextual, and never blocks active windows.
 The package also includes file-drop targets at the notch edges, a clipboard-history strip, a "battery for connected devices" view, and a tunable volume/brightness HUD. Notched MacBooks only, macOS 13+. Subscription with a lifetime option.

 > An open-source ⌥-Tab window switcher for macOS that shows live thumbnails of every window across every space. Apple's ⌘-Tab switches between *apps*; AltTab fills the obvious gap by switching between *windows*.

Defaults are correct for most people — minimized windows, multiple displays, fullscreen apps — but every behavior is a preference if you want it.

 Multiple notes can float at once, snap to screen edges, and stack neatly. There's enough markdown to keep text readable (bold, italic, code blocks, headers), and code-fence detection kicks in automatically when you paste in JSON or a stack trace. No syncing, no tags, no folders — when something matters enough to keep, you copy it into Notion or Bear yourself.
 macOS only, single-device, one-time purchase.

 > A free, open-source menu bar manager: hide icons, organize them into "always visible," "hidden," and "always hidden" sections, reveal hidden ones on click. The community's chosen successor to Bartender after Bartender was sold to a new owner without telling its users.
 Ice covers the same ground: a chevron in the bar collapses what you don't need to see, a search field jumps to a buried icon by name, hotkeys reveal sections directly. It tracks each macOS update without breakage — a quiet but meaningful achievement for a category that has historically struggled at every annual release.
 The bar feels native rather than ported: icons don't shuffle when sections collapse, the chevron lands where the eye expects, the preferences window is built in SwiftUI. macOS 14+, MIT license.

 description: "Per-device mouse acceleration, scroll direction, and sensitivity tuning for macOS — finally."

 > Per-device pointer and scroll tuning for macOS, free and open source. Each external mouse gets its own acceleration curve, scroll direction, and sensitivity — independent of the trackpad and any other connected mouse.
 macOS treats every input device with one set of global pointer settings, which is why a $9 office mouse and a high-DPI sensor never quite feel right on the same machine. LinearMouse splits the controls per device. You can pick a *linear* curve (no acceleration), a custom curve, or one of the presets, and override scroll direction independently of the natural-scroll trackpad setting.
 Per-app rules can adjust horizontal scroll speed in Final Cut, disable acceleration in a game, or invert the wheel inside a specific browser. Lives in the menu bar with near-zero footprint. macOS 13+, MIT-licensed.

 *Buttons and the wheel become configurable triggers for Mission Control, desktop switching, and smart zoom.*
 > Open-source mouse customization that maps trackpad-style gestures (Mission Control, desktop switching, smart zoom) onto a third-party mouse's buttons and wheel. Pairs with LinearMouse — that one tunes the *cursor*, this one tunes the *gestures*.
 The middle button can summon Mission Control, side buttons can switch desktops, modifier-plus-wheel can zoom or page-navigate. Smooth scrolling is reimplemented to match the trackpad's momentum, so wheel scrolling stops feeling jagged compared to two-finger swipes.
 A single menu-bar app, no kernel extension, no helper services. Free, donation-supported. macOS 11+.

 Hold a modifier (or click the literal middle mouse button) and drag from anywhere inside any window to move it. A second modifier resizes. That's the entire app — a Linux/X11 trick that macOS has never shipped, ported in a few hundred lines of Swift.
 Most useful when a window's title bar is hidden, off-screen, or buried under another window — the cases where macOS leaves you stranded. Open source, MIT-licensed, runs at zero CPU when idle. macOS 12+.

 *A soft circle of brightness follows the cursor; the rest of the screen dims.*
 > A pointer-driven spotlight overlay: the screen dims everywhere except a soft circle around your cursor. Dim level, radius, and edge softness are tunable; a hotkey toggles the effect.
 Most "focus" apps work by removing things — blocking sites, hiding the dock, locking apps. Monocle works by quietly biasing your eye toward where you're already looking. Distractions remain on screen but require small intentional effort to look at, and most of the time you don't.
 Also useful for screen recording and presentations: the audience's eye follows the cursor automatically because there's nowhere else to go. macOS only, one-time purchase.

 > A native macOS screenshot utility that fills in what Apple's built-in tool leaves out: scrolling capture, on-image OCR, pixel ruler, color picker, and proper annotation. Free for personal use; one-time purchase for commercial.
 Scrolling capture stitches long pages into a single image with clean seams. OCR pulls text from any region you select — including blurry video frames — and can erase it in place against the surrounding background. There's a pixel ruler, an element-sizing mode, blur-for-redaction, numbered callouts, and arrows that snap to common angles. The capture cursor shows live pixel coordinates while you drag.
 Pinned screenshots float above all windows, so copying from one and pasting into another is a single motion. Native Cocoa, no Electron — opens in well under a second. macOS 12+.

 The dots span red to violet and live across the top of the editor as well as in the menu bar. You assign your own meaning to each — one for the day's todos, one for whatever you're drafting, one for clipboard staging — and the mapping lives in your head, not in a settings panel. When a slot fills up, you triage; the constraint forces it.
 Markdown support is intentionally minimal: bold, italic, code, lists, headers. The editor comes from the studio behind Nova, Coda, and the Playdate — taste shows up in cursor placement, keyboard shortcuts, and how the app handles iCloud conflicts. Mac one-time purchase; iOS free.

 > Push-to-talk dictation that runs OpenAI's Whisper locally and applies a light cleanup pass — the result reads like written prose, not a transcript. Hold a key, talk, release; the cleaned text lands wherever your cursor was.
 Cleanup trims filler words, applies punctuation, capitalizes properly, and resolves the "uh, wait, scratch that" pattern into the corrected sentence. Aggressiveness is configurable per app — useful when you want raw fidelity in one place and polished prose in another.
 Transcription is fully on-device, so it works on a plane and never sends audio to a server. The cleanup pass uses an LLM call (your own API key) and can be disabled for fully offline use. One-time purchase, macOS 13+.
