- For
- Mac developers who want editing, Git, terminal, and Claude together
- Worth noticing
- Claude edits appear as reviewable diffs; the page says its local bridge listens on 127.0.0.1 behind a random token.
Field notes
Completion suggestions combine language-server information, a SQLite project index, nearby words, paths and imports, and the user's local history. The page says that history stays on the Mac and can be cleared. Git controls include staging individual hunks as well as whole files, while the embedded terminal is described as using the user's login shell in the project folder.
