About Blinken
A macOS menu bar utility that resurrects the HDD activity LED of pre-2010 personal computers. Quietly alive in your menu bar. Free, local-only, MIT licensed. A small red lamp in your menu bar, brightening when your disk is working. Adaptive sampling means it's responsive when your disk is busy and quiet when your Mac is at rest. Warms toward orange when your Mac is leaning on the swap file. Open the dropdown for read & write totals since boot, RAM in use, swap on disk, and the kernel's pressure level.
About Toolbay Stack
60 free MIT skills for Claude Code. 146 engines, every one carrying its own test. Built to refuse the one thing agent tooling does worst: reporting success while doing nothing. Set it up once, then list what you have built by asking. Most agent tooling fails silently: a guard that allows everything when it is missing, a check that exits 0 having done nothing, a save that writes somewhere you will never look. This is built around refusing that one behaviour, and the refusals are measured rather than claimed, npm run backtest reproduces every number on this page.
