mcclowes··on Too many agents, one Mac
You've got lots of control over how much memory to reserve, how many concurrent jobs (of each job category), etc. It also models your jobs' actual usage so it can allocate memory more efficiently next time they run.

Running lots of agents can lead to intensive builds and test running concurrently.

Run agents in confidence with Turnstile's queues.

Thank you for the enthusiasm!

I like the idea! I will try making something just like that :)

Fair concerns! The third party is Cloudflare, and it is encrypted

Ah interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Sorry you're experiencing that! It's just you and one other users email addresses specifically! Not quite sure why but it seems to be the email sending service not trusting me, specifically when sending to you :/

Super helpful! Thanks mate

Oh interesting. I do have a feature I've played about with that pulls through GitHub issues/Jira tickets (kind of mirroring the kanban board), and makes it easy to throw AI at it - does your tool go further than that?

Thanks :)

They may well do!

Thank you!

Ok, I don't support windows yet :/

Ah right! There's a bit of extra work, I was looking into it last week, I paused as I saw a lot of articles like this https://www.techradar.com/computing/mac-os/apple-quietly-kil...

I'll look into it again!

I haven't got a second device to hand to test this right now, but there's was only a small bit of code forcing 1-1 pairing so this SHOULD work now. Feel free to try, or I'll post again once I've had a chance to verify.

Similar kind of idea, similar in terms of features. Obviously there's a big difference in feel, Saggar being a mac app with terminals, rather than living in your existing terminal app, and I think Saggar really makes the most of that difference.

Beyond the UI, monitor & quick run windows, and rich command palette, I think the way Saggar orients your activity around your projects (e.g. a git repo) is really intuitive over the workspace model.

I'm still working on coverage for Pi and OpenCode though!

Similar in terms of features. I'd see the most meaningful advantage is the user experience, I find myself working significantly faster with Saggar.

ooh I have not built for that yet, let me take a look at that. Great request.

Looks cool! I like the embedded web panel. Good luck!

Looks great, well done! Kitty is great too, makes sense.

I have purposefully kept things quite tight for my own sanity, but I think it makes sense market-share wise at the moment.

At the moment I'm also assuming that if someone is using Cursor AI tooling/Grok, they're probably using Cursor IDE and terminals in there.

I am planning on looking into integrating Pi.dev, which I love the philsophy of (though don't use personally just because API usage costs so much).

Oh, you don't NEED an account dw. There's only a few features that need it (e.g. remote control).

I open source a lot of projects (https://github.com/mcclowes) so my first instinct was to, and I'll consider that in the future!

Not a purposeful exclusion, macOS 26 simply the lowest version I currently build and test against.

It's a great call out, I'll take a look at that shortly.

mcclowes··on Show HN: Saggar, a Mac terminal that keeps sessions and your attention organized
agreed, that load bearing colon is doing a lot of work there.

I will admit I've been more focused on the app itself!

Thank you! If there's interest I could look into other OS', I don't rate electron apps and I'd want to do that natively. Plus, I'm personally a Mac user haha.

I used those dashboards extensively, they are useful! But found that they put visibility at the wrong level. I wanted a view across all my terminals, regardless of which agent or provider they’re running, including terminals where I’m working manually.

Apologies for that false start! Sign up should be working again.

mcclowes··on Prefix (Yet Another) Puzzle Game
You have to guess the word of the day (usually a 5-12 letter word). You start with the first letter revealed. By guessing words that fit given the letters revealed so far, you gradually arrive at the right answer.

Prefix looks a bit like Wordle, but it's actually based on the fantastic word game, Contact.
