This is the first post in what I plan to be a collection of tools and software I use regularly. No sponsorships, no affiliate links, no partnerships. Just software that changed how I work, shared because I think you might benefit from it too.
Let's start with the one that had the biggest impact on my daily routine: Wispr Flow.
I've been using Claude Code as my daily driver for a while now. One thing that kept bugging me was not knowing where I stood with my usage limits until I actually hit them. Claude Code has a status line feature that lets you run a custom script and display whatever you want at the bottom of the terminal. I built one that shows me everything I care about in a single line.
Freek Van der Herten wrote a nice post about his own status line showing the repo name and context window percentage. That was my starting point, but I wanted more: rate limit tracking, reset countdowns, and a pace indicator that tells me whether I'm burning through my weekly budget too fast.
