MiniWatts

A macOS power-management app that automatically manages Mac power usage and charging. It measures power-saving actions locally, limits charging to 80% to reduce battery wear, and learns when to fully charge the battery before the user disconnects the Mac.

vPhone Workstation is a native macOS SwiftUI application for managing virtual iPhones. It provides a library with live running or stopped state, iOS and cloudOS builds, search, and VM details including variant, CPU, memory, disk, network, device, and UDID. Users can start, stop, foreground, clone, rename, export, configure, and delete virtual machines. Its creation wizard selects a VM variant, firmware pairing, and CPU, memory, and disk resources, while streaming progress from vphone-cli and producing an exportable log. vPhone Workstation is a graphical front end for vphone-cli, which boots iOS research virtual machines through Apple's Virtualization.framework using PCC research VMs. It also checks host readiness, including the required macOS version, Apple Silicon hardware, vphone-cli availability, research-guest permissions, and AMFI configuration. The repository documents macOS 15 or newer as a requirement and provides Homebrew installation and source-build instructions.

Codex iOS Assistant is an open-source system for controlling and inspecting an iPhone from Codex running on a Mac. Its `iphone` CLI sends private commands through iMessage to an iOS Shortcut; the Shortcut performs native iOS actions and returns device context through an authenticated HTTPS response routed via Cloudflare Tunnel to a receiver on the Mac. A per-user macOS LaunchAgent runs the Messages sender outside the Codex sandbox over a Unix socket. The system can read visible screen text, save screenshots, access or replace the clipboard, manage alarms, open specified apps, control timers, the flashlight, and Low Power Mode, place calls, and read Mac Contacts and the Mac Messages database. Message composition creates a draft for review; the CLI does not send ordinary messages, make purchases, install apps, order food, or request rides. It requires macOS 14 or newer, Python 3.11 or newer, Messages, Xcode Command Line Tools, an iPhone reachable at a configured iMessage address, iCloud sync for Shortcuts, and a Cloudflare-managed domain. Installation uses the repository scripts and creates an iOS Shortcut containing 95 native Shortcuts actions, with a manually configured iPhone message automation.

Headroom is a local-first macOS menu-bar app for monitoring AI coding quotas and software delivery status, with optional iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and ESP32 desk-display clients. A Python host running on the Mac reads the authentication data and command-line tools already configured for services such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub, and Vercel, then serves a single local JSON feed; credentials remain on the machine and no Headroom cloud account is required. Its interfaces show provider quota meters, usage rings, burn rate and spend, failed Actions, deployments, monitors, and other attention items, and the iPhone client can approve, deny, or reply to Claude and Codex requests without starting work. The Mac host uses port 8737, requires macOS 14+ and Python 3.9+, and the optional desk display uses a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.8 board.

Codenotch is a macOS app that pins a small notch to a screen edge and displays usage limits, reset windows, and activity states for coding assistants including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, and GLM. It can show whether a provider is working, finished, or waiting for user input, with separate rings for separate Claude Code profiles and live session details on hover. Each provider adapter reads credentials, sessions, logs, databases, language-server RPCs, or provider endpoints already used by the corresponding local tool; Codenotch does not sign in to services itself. A UsageStore polls the adapters, preserves the last good reading across launches, labels each reading by fidelity, and exposes failures as statuses such as stale, needsAuth, or error rather than inventing a percentage. The notch can be placed on any screen edge, expands when approached, and can be configured to show or hide its Dock and menu-bar icons. The app is written for macOS, supports a demo mode with fixed sample data, and uses Sparkle for signed background updates. Its README notes that the provider interfaces may change because some readings come from internal endpoints or local application state. The project is licensed under the MIT License.
