About

Ruflet Explorer

Features
Read full description

Ruflet is a modern Ruby framework that brings native app development into the Ruby ecosystem by leveraging Flutter’s rendering engine as its core runtime. It allows developers to build fully native applications for mobile, desktop, and web using a simple and expressive Ruby DSL. Ruflet supports both server-driven UI (ideal for rapid iteration and Rails integration) and self-contained apps powered by an embedded Ruby runtime, enabling apps to run directly on the device without a backend dependency. With a growing ecosystem of widgets, built-in services (like camera, maps, and more), and seamless integration with Ruby on Rails, Ruflet bridges the gap between backend and frontend development. It gives Ruby developers the ability to ship high-performance, native apps without leaving their familiar environment combining productivity, flexibility, and modern cross-platform capabilities.

RuntimeBrief turns activity from your local coding agents and repositories into short, evidence-backed project updates. Connect the app to the RuntimeBrief daemon running on your Mac to see what changed, what is still in progress, and what needs your attention. Each claim links back to its supporting commit, working-tree scan, or agent session. Features: • A concise portfolio brief across your registered projects • Evidence-backed project status and recent agent activity • Native Claude Code tasks in registered projects, with model and permission choices and takeover in Claude Desktop on your Mac • Optional, on-demand analyst answers through your own Codex CLI login • Local Xcode, TestFlight, and App Store release summaries • Siri and Shortcuts access to project status • Saved briefs when your Mac is temporarily unavailable • A fully offline fictional demo requiring no account or server RuntimeBrief has no hosted account, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, or public cloud relay. Live project data stays under your control on your Mac and private network. Optional analyst processing follows the data controls of the ChatGPT workspace selected in Codex CLI. Native Claude tasks use your existing Claude login and follow Claude's account policies and the selected tool permissions. A Mac running runtimebriefd is required for live project data. The in-app demo can be explored without installing or configuring anything. Native tasks also require Claude Code and Claude Desktop installed and signed in on that Mac.
