Not disagreeing with anything you said except:

> The fact that Codexbar (also by Steipete) takes 7GB of RAM on macOS shows just how little attention to performance/design he pays to his apps.

It's been running for weeks on my laptop and it's using 210MB of ram currently. Now, the quality _is_ not great and I get prompted at least once a day to enter my keychain access so I'm going to uninstall it (I've just been procrastinating).

Last I checked it spawns claude subprocesses that quickly eat up your RAM and CPU cycles. When I realized the UI redraws are blocking (!) I noped out of it.
