thanks for making this! I'd love to use the microphone key (fn + mic) to trigger Handy but even after turning off dictation it doesn't seem like the system allows that key to be used (I get a dialog prompting me to turn on dictation).

hey! these kinds of keyboard related things are well solved by Karabiner elements:

There you can map (whatever key) to (whatever other key). E.g. I have right command mapped to F20, available to all other apps .

On my personal website I decided to have a button that has both hamburger icon and the word "menu" (on mobile version). Had no complaints!

You forgot to say what the primary benefit is. Because it lacks controls? I can see how some might consider that a plus.

Yes, something like that. As probably many of you, I spent way too much time switching between agentic apps, switching between models inside these apps, and tweaking system prompts for these models.

When Ampcode took it all away from me, I found I enjoyed the actual AI-assisted coding much more than configuring. Of course, largely because it just worked. Granted, I had enough experience with other AI tools to manage my expectations.

I must mention https://ampcode.com/manual which is my favorite toy of them all right now. Has almost no settings; uses Claude 4, no way to change model; just works! (Unfortunately, not a paid comment.)

I saw this posted recently without anyone noticing and wanted to give this tool another shot: I've been using it for about a week, and it's worth your attention not less than Cline, Roo Code and many more.

About
https://vlad.studio is the project of Russian digital artist Vlad Gerasimov. In 1998 I started to design user interfaces for web sites and software applications. However, when I had some free time, I created desktop wallpapers. Over the time, this hobby has grown into business, and today I enjoy full-time self-employment, creating wallpapers for your computers and mobile devices. I love what I do, and I am happy that many people around the world love it, too!
