About

Stet Writer

Features
Read full description

Stet is a native writing app for people who publish with Jekyll or Hugo and GitHub. If you maintain a Jekyll blog or site, you know the drill: open a text editor, wrangle YAML front matter by hand, commit to GitHub, and hope your formatting survived. Stet replaces that entire workflow with something that actually feels good to use. Write in markdown with a styled editor that hides the syntax and shows you formatted text as you type. Bold, italic, headers, links, blockquotes, code — all accessible from a formatting toolbar or keyboard shortcuts. Flip to live preview to see exactly what your post will look like before it goes live. Configure your site's front matter templates once, then fill in fields like layout, categories, and tags from a clean form instead of hand-editing YAML. Your drafts sync across all your devices with iCloud, so you can start a post on your iPhone during lunch and finish it on your iPad that evening. When you're ready to publish, Stet connects to GitHub and pushes your post directly to your repository. No desktop git client required. No copying and pasting between apps. What you get: Styled markdown editor with formatting toolbar Live rendered preview Configurable front matter templates per site iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac GitHub integration for one-tap publishing Multiple site support Stet is free to write with. Publishing to GitHub is unlocked with a one-time purchase. The name comes from the Latin proofreader's mark meaning "let it stand" — a word written in the margin to keep text as the author intended. That's what Stet does. You write it. It stands.

KKCode is the mobile client for OpenCode — the AI coding agent that runs on your Mac. Connect to your local OpenCode server over Wi-Fi or Tailscale, and bring AI-powered coding assistance wherever you go. FEATURES • Multiple AI Models — Switch freely between DeepSeek, Zhipu, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, and any model supported by your OpenCode server. Model preferences are remembered per session and persist across conversations. • Streaming Responses — Responses stream in real time. Scroll freely while the AI is generating; KKCode keeps your position and never interrupts your reading experience. • Code & Markdown Rendering — Enjoy full syntax highlighting for code blocks, inline formatting, and rich markdown display. • Tool Call Transparency — See exactly which tools the AI invoked, review file changes, and inspect inputs and outputs for every tool call. • Image Attachment — Send screenshots or design mockups directly from your photo library. • Session Management — Organize conversations by project directory. Rename, swipe to delete, or bulk remove sessions whenever you need. • Split View Support — Keep your session list and active chat side by side for a desktop-class multitasking experience. • Offline-Safe Draft — Your unfinished messages are automatically saved per session and restored when you return. • Multi-language Support — English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Português, Русский. • Dark & Light Mode — Automatically follows your system appearance. HOW IT WORKS KKCode connects to the OpenCode server running on your Mac. Start the server with: opencode serve –hostname 0.0.0.0 –port 4096 Then add your server connection in KKCode and start chatting. For remote access outside your home network, Tailscale is recommended. KKCode requires an OpenCode server to function. It does not include built-in AI inference or AI models.
