A lightweight macOS terminal with per-project colors, icons, and names. Stop confusing 10 identical windows when running your Claude Code sessions. Works and feels just like your normal terminal, but you can actually tell your windows apart and don't lose your sanity.

A lightweight macOS terminal with per-project colors, icons, and names. Stop confusing 10 identical windows when running AI coding agents. 14-day free trial.

A lightweight macOS terminal that gives every project its own color, icon, and identity. Stop confusing 10 identical windows. You're running Claude Code, dev servers, and test suites across projects. All in identical black windows. Every Cmd+Tab is a coin flip. Your brain is managing windows, not shipping. Built on top of the macOS Terminal you already know. Nothing to relearn, just start it up and go. Launch it like any app. It uses your default shell. Everything works like before. Run mantel init inside any folder to customize its name, icon, and color. Tab badges, Dock badges, and bounce animations when background tasks finish. No more checking every window.

    Hi HN, We use Claude Code a lot, and after a long session there isn't a simple way to share exactly what happened with someone else. Prompts, responses, file edits, and tool calls all stay inside the terminal. We built Claudebin to make that easier. It's a plugin that lets you export the current session as a URL containing: - the full message thread - file reads and writes - bash commands - web and MCP calls You can send the link to someone, attach it to a PR, embed part of it, or resume the session locally. It's open source. GitHub:…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
