LATENT SIGNAL LABS

A solo studio. I build a few things with obsessive care — software that respects your attention instead of competing for it, made the slow, old-fashioned way: one detail at a time, until it's right.

// BRIEF

Cove is a native Mac RSS reader that doesn't just sync feeds — it keeps them. When a feed only sends a teaser, Cove quietly fetches the full article, so the whole thing is waiting in your reader instead of behind a browser tab full of cookie banners and popups.

Not another RSS reader. A library that builds itself — private, on-device, yours until you delete it.
  • Full articles pulled automatically, even from teaser-only feeds
  • Whole articles kept permanently on your Mac — never auto-deleted
  • No account. No subscription service. No reading profile.
  • Reader View strips clutter; toggle between publisher layout and clean reading
  • Clips: save passages from any article with persistent highlights and notes
  • Listen: system narration of any article with a floating mini player
  • Genuinely native macOS — Liquid Glass, SwiftUI, built for the Mac

// BRIEF

Vigil is a menu bar app that keeps your Mac awake while coding agents work, then lets it sleep when they finish, fail, or wait too long. Start an agent, walk away, and come back to finished work instead of a sleeping Mac.

Let agents finish. Let your Mac sleep when they stop.

// SPEC

  • Lifecycle hooks report when an agent is working, waiting, or done — no guessing from CPU load
  • Releases the hold automatically, with a 5–30 minute grace period for input waits
  • Follows sub-agents, so a session stays awake while they work
  • Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI, Pi, and OpenCode
  • Prompts, messages, and tool output never leave your Mac
  • One payment, no subscription — one key activates two Macs

// BRIEF

Ramble turns a screen recording into a review your coding agent can read. Press a shortcut, click around, and talk: every spoken remark is paired with a screenshot, with a ring where you were pointing.

So “make this button bigger” comes with the button you mean.

// SPEC

  • Press ⌃⌥R, talk through what you see, press ⌃⌥R again
  • Names the UI element you pointed at, when the app provides it
  • Records the app, window title, and browser URL alongside each remark
  • Speech is transcribed on your Mac — nothing is uploaded, no account
  • Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, or any agent that reads files

// ABOUT THE LAB

Latent Signal Labs is a solo studio. One engineer. I work on the software I want to exist.

Nothing ships until it's right — every detail considered, sweated over, and built to last.
