Show HN: Sculptor – A UI for Claude Code
Hey, I'm Josh, cofounder of Imbue. We built Sculptor because we wanted a great UI for parallel coding agents.<p>We love Claude Code, but wanted to solve some of the problems that come from running multiple agents in parallel (ex: merge conflicts with multiple agents, reinstalling dependencies with git worktrees, Claude Code could deleting your home directory, etc).<p>Sculptor is a desktop app that lets you safely run Claude Code agents by putting them in separate docker containers. This lets you use Claude without having to compromise on security or deal with annoying tool permission prompts. Then you can just tell Claude to keep running the code until it actually works.<p>To help you easily work with containerized agents, we created “Pairing Mode”: bidirectionally sync the agent’s code into your IDE and test/edit together in real time. You can also simply pull and push manually if you want.<p>We have some more cool features planned on our roadmap that are enabled by this approach, like the ability to “fork” conversations (and the entire state of the container), or roll back to a previous state.<p>It’s still very early, but we would love your feedback.<p>Sculptor itself is free to use, so please try it out and let us know what you think!

Show HN: Free developer-first OneNote alternative
Hey Everyone, been working on a note-taking app called janta (Just Another Note Taking App) the past few months.<p>You can try it out at app.janta.dev (you will be redirected to app.janta.dev/canvas/temporary, which is the locally-stored whiteboard you can access)<p>I felt limited with OneNote, Excalidraw, and other infinite-canvas style apps, so I built an alternative. You have access to code-editors, Desmos graphs, and rich text editors (SlateJS). This is because the canvas is designed in a way that allows web components to exist on the same layer as pen-strokes, so you can annotate code, circle points-of-inflection, and programmatically generate graphs using matplotlib.pyplot!<p>This is a beta release, and feedback would be awesome!
Show HN: Automatically set real iOS alarms for calendar events
I kept missing appointments and meetings because calendar notifications are too easy to ignore. Alarms, on the other hand, always break through silent mode/DND and force you to acknowledge them — but setting them manually every day was another chore.<p>With iOS 26’s new AlarmKit, I built Beacon: it automatically syncs with your Apple Calendar and converts important events into real iOS alarms. You can define simple rules (like “only events with ‘Interview’ in the title” or “meetings with 3+ attendees”), and Beacon sets the alarms for you — no extra work required.<p>Would love feedback!
