About SightDiff
Your coding agent says done. SightDiff renders before/after proof of every page and state of your app, locally, pre-commit, in one scannable sheet. Changed surfaces flagged, untouched ones verified identical. 66% of developers say their top frustration is AI code that's almost right, but not quite. The agent was asked to change one page, the proof sheet caught it changing two. A running dev server and a tiny config listing the pages and states you care about, SightDiff can even write that config for you by crawling your app.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. 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.
