08 / CLAUDE CODE TOOLS
ALL THINGS CLAUDE
Claude Code is powerful and deliberately bare. All Things Claude is the open-source kit that grows around it — usage you can see, context you can read, a session you can carry in your pocket.
- OUTCOME
- Three tools under one name: Blueprints installs commands and agents into Claude Code, Battery meters rate limits and burn-rate from the menu bar, and Balcony mirrors a live session to the phone over an end-to-end-encrypted local link.
- STACK
- Swift · SwiftUI · TypeScript
- Three tools, one gap
- Claude Code is deliberately minimal, which leaves the same three gaps for everyone who uses it seriously: distributing configuration, seeing consumption, and following a long-running session away from the desk. Blueprints, Battery, and Balcony each close one, and they ship as separate tools because they solve separate problems.
- Metering what is otherwise invisible
- Rate limits and burn-rate are consequential and unobservable — you discover the ceiling by hitting it. Battery surfaces both from the menu bar in Swift, close enough to the work that the number is glanceable rather than something you go looking for after the fact.
- The session in your pocket
- Balcony mirrors a live session to the phone over an end-to-end-encrypted local link. Local and encrypted are both load-bearing: session content is working code and context, so it goes device to device rather than through a relay. The whole kit is open source.
