About microNeo
The terminal editor that can discuss with AI agents ¶. I always need to tell the AI exactly which part of a document I have thoughts about. I have to ctrl-c/ctrl-v all day long, it's given my fingers tendonitis. Currently supports pi and opencode ; support for claude cli is under development. Communicate with AI agents to send your thoughts to the AI. The codebase inherits Micro's editor architecture (zero dependencies, intuitive operation, Lua plugins, mouse support) and adds many features for vibe coding on top of it.
About Trace

The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
