I looked around for a while looking for something that:

A. Is a self-contained binary. I know it's not really important, but I like the hygiene.

B. I wanted Codex Desktop on the go, not Codex CLI.

C. I wanted to go back to the work I started on my phone once I return to my desktop. Vice-versa would be nice too, but I don't really need it.

D. I was sick of the usual "agents" that sucked at managing context, poor tool handling, and overall instability. First party harnesses are just better.

E. Native Windows support without a ton of deps. Apparently nobody likes Windows so all the good stuff is made for macOS.

F. Finally, I wanted Codex on the go, not a full-blown agent. I am seriously over agents at this point and I will probably return to them at a later date.

I didn't find anything I liked so I decided to make one.

Features are listed in git. Hopefully someone likes it.

There might/will be bugs. Create issues or submit PRs. Be nice :)

PS: project was entirely done in GPT-5.5-High

Hello I have some time after work and would like to offer to help use Claude Code for 1 specific (TBD) open source project that needs some help. No charge. I have finished all my personal projects (I've literally pulled scraps of thoughts from my notes to create and finish other projects using Claude Code and now I'm (running dry) ready to help others) and have plenty of Claude Code tokens to use each month with the Max 20x plan. Does anyone out there have a good proposal for using Claude Code that will help their open source project? I will clone the repo, ask Claude Code to find bugs if you like or fix bugs as needed or just provide you with reports of bugs (or whatever) if you like. LMK thanks. Some background: I have been using Claude Code since last year professionally (my job gave me access to Claude Code to use for coding). Before that I've continuously worked professionally as a Software Engineer for numerous years. I ask for you to reach out to me because I need your energy and motivation to encourage me to do this work. I suppose I can look for and find some work on my own but I'm not motivated. The human connection, even if over the wire, is so important. We are the impetus to get things done! I am working currently so my available time is not extensive although, as you know, Claude Code is a force multiplier and the productivity is off the charts for someone in my position. I'd like to offer some of my time to help.

I’ve started learning haskell a few weeks ago and I’ve been recently trying to understand what a monad is. I can’t seem to find and explanation that makes sense. Every other comment on the subject seems to be about how no one can explain what is a monad.

For example I don’t understand (beyond the concept as a whole): 1. How do monads allow side effects if you can’t have side effects in Haskell? 2. Are monads just a name for a reccuring way to aproach a problem? 3. In what scenario would you use a monad, or for what type of problem?
