Vibe-Coded Software

I'm not a professional developer. These are tools I wanted to exist, so I described them to an AI until they did. Everything here started as a real itch I had.

macOS

Clara Sky app icon

Clara Sky

macOS

Current conditions, a seven-day forecast, and Clara — a friendly AI meteorologist who briefs you each morning and answers whatever you ask. She doesn't just read off the numbers: she draws on National Weather Service alerts and forecaster discussions, and looks up what local TV meteorologists and news are saying about your specific area, so her take feels like a local's, not a generic app's. Bring your own Anthropic API key.

Recent app icon

Recent

macOS

Files and folders you most need are more likely to be ones you've most recently accessed. This is a Finder sidebar placed on the left edge of your screen which shows the last seven days of files and folders you actually opened — newest first, grouped by day, each row showing its parent folder and when you last touched it.

Scratch app icon

Scratch

macOS

One plain-text note that lives in your menu bar. Click the icon, jot the thing down, get back to what you were doing. It syncs through iCloud, so the note follows you between Macs — no accounts, no formatting, no second note.

SmarterChild app icon

SmarterChild

macOS

A love letter to 2002. An instant-messenger window of the sort you'd have left open after school, wired up to a modern language model instead of the scripted bot we all tried to outsmart. It answers better than the original ever did, which is either the point or entirely beside it. Bring your own Gemini API key.

Codex app icon

Codex

macOS

An AI-powered encyclopedia that lives in your Mac's menu bar. Hit a hotkey from any app, ask about anything, and it streams back a proper reference entry — a concise definition, a short answer, or a full article with a table of contents you can navigate. Bring your own Anthropic or Gemini key.

iOS

Clara Sky app icon

Clara Sky

iOS

Current conditions, a seven-day forecast, and Clara — a friendly AI meteorologist who briefs you each morning and answers whatever you ask. She doesn't just read off the numbers: she draws on National Weather Service alerts and forecaster discussions, and looks up what local TV meteorologists and news are saying about your specific area, so her take feels like a local's, not a generic app's. Bring your own Anthropic API key.

God In All Things app icon

God In All Things

iOS

Ignatian spirituality on your phone: more than twenty-five guided audio meditations, podcast episodes, weekly Scripture reflections, and blog posts from the God In All Things archive. There's also a guided Examen that listens to how your day actually went and offers a Scripture passage to pray with. Downloads for offline listening.

Switchboard Chaos app icon

Switchboard Chaos

iOS

It's 1958 and you're the telephone operator. Twenty-five sockets, a tangle of cords, and a city full of people who need connecting. Patch each flashing red jack through to its target before the caller gives up, then pull the dead lines to free the socket for the next one. Every shift you survive comes at you faster than the last. Drop three callers and your night is over.

Letter Stream app icon

Letter Stream

iOS

Letters drift past in glowing bubbles. Tap to catch them, drag them into order in your tray, and submit a word before the speed bonus drains away. Scoring is Scrabble-inspired, so a six-letter word full of rare letters is worth far more than a quick three — if you can hold your nerve long enough to build it. Ten words to a round.

WordRev app icon

WordRev

iOS

A five-letter mystery word, two letters showing, and fifty points to spend. Buying a hint costs you, revealing another letter costs more, and a wrong guess costs you too. The hints are AI-written and start out poetic before turning into plain definitions, so the real game is working out how little help you can get away with. Ten rounds, one score.
