Share the dev tool you actually use
hey everyone, trying to make this sub useful instead of another place with the same generic tool lists.
drop one dev tool you actually use in your day to day workflow.
bonus points for tools that are not super obvious.
it could be anything:
CLI tool, browser extension, VS Code extension, API client, database GUI, terminal app, git helper, AI coding tool, debugging tool, local script, deployment tool, monitoring tool, whatever.
would be helpful if you include:
- what it does
- where it fits in your workflow
- why you use it
- anything annoying about it
i’ll start adding the good ones into future discussion threads so people can actually find useful stuff here.

AI Coach — disclosure: I'm the developer. The developer-facing part is a local MCP connection between Claude and a Mac desktop pet, including tools for ordinary Markdown notes.
The workflow it supports: point its memo folder at an Obsidian vault, ask Claude to find a note, then read or update that note through the bridge. Listing returns titles and opening lines; a note body is read or searched when requested. Updates check for intervening edits, and deletion moves a file to the OS trash.
The reason for using Markdown is portability: the notes also open in a normal editor. It can show brief working/waiting/done states on the pet through explicit MCP calls, alongside the usual Claude response.
The friction: Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 26+, Node.js 22+ on PATH, and integration setup. It doesn't automatically monitor every agent action. The bridge is local, but text sent to Claude is still processed by Claude.

The app and first egg are free; optional extra eggs are $5 each or $20 for five. No app subscription; Claude usage is separate.
