Open-source software

These are tools with which I solved problems in my own workflow, outside the software of the company I work for, which is why I can show and share them. Each page says what the problem was and how the tool solves it. I develop them with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, which make it possible to finish programs that would otherwise have stayed a sketch. Free to download, with source code on GitHub.

Orbit

v1.6.0 · 4 Nov 2026

Lightweight IDE designed to work alongside Claude Code.

Following Claude Code's work across several projects, without a heavy IDE.

Orbit on the Prism repository: the file tree with the Shelf below it, a Rust file with the test Claude has just added marked in the margin, the scratchpad underneath, and three Claude Code chats side by side, one showing its edit Orbit's Activity view: the work Claude did in five repositories, one column each, with a unit open showing its request, its files and its commit Inlay's solution in the Solution view, with projects, dependencies and nested files, two editor groups with reference counts, and a build in the terminal

File explorer, code editor, git and an integrated terminal running Claude Code, in a small desktop app. Files changed by Claude reload on their own and are highlighted in the tree.

Pulse

v1.3.3 · 12 Oct 2026

System monitor widget for Windows.

Keeping an eye on the system without opening Task Manager.

Pulse running as administrator: CPU with temperature, power and per-core bars colored by process, RAM, GPU, network, disk and top processes Pulse with the light theme, with its live graphs and the processes using the most CPU and memory
