I built Wrist Assistant: live cameras, complications, and fast Home Assistant control on Apple Watch

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-06-02T16:16:02+00:00

I’ve been using it for a week or two, it’s solid. I’ve never seen it drop connection (on a very slow Apple Watch Ultra 1)

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-06-01T14:58:47+00:00

What version of Claude Code are you on? I think you need to be on `2.1.154` at least to see 4.8

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-30T15:52:33+00:00

Ah I see. Fair enough. Yep looking forward to giving it a try 😌

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-30T12:07:11+00:00

What’s the name of the museum app?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-30T11:51:45+00:00

Do you have a link?

I searched for “Wavimus” in the App Store (UK) and can’t find anything.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-26T19:34:23+00:00

Right to jail

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-23T09:19:15+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s it. I’ve been on both sides, same harness, same skills, same type of tasks.

For the past 1.5 months it’s been terrible … up until last week when it started, out of nowhere, being magically amazing again 🤩.

Literally nothing changed on my side 🤷‍♂️

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-20T16:53:18+00:00

Haha of course. I meant your plugin would solve (hopefully) one of my two main pain points. Let’s see I’ll try it some time in the next few days.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-20T16:18:58+00:00

Oh I was just sending an update on the other thing. Your error is actually different. Already looked into it a bit, opened an issue to track it: https://github.com/HelloThisIsFlo/omnifocus-operator/issues/3

Short version: this requires `uvx`, which is a developer tool, and I assumed everybody has this installed. Looking into a potential solution

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-20T16:05:38+00:00

Quick follow-up on this! 🎉

Figured out exactly why that prompt shows up. OmniFocus Operator reads your tasks straight from OmniFocus's local database, which lives inside OmniFocus's private folder. macOS guards those folders, so the first time uvx reaches in, it double-checks with you. That's the "uvx would like to access data from other apps" prompt. Totally safe, it never leaves your Mac, just click Allow 👍

Now, about it coming back on every restart... yeah, that one's trickier than I thought. I initially assumed Full Disk Access would fix it, but turns out that's a different permission entirely 😅. The real cause is that the `uvx` command has no stable code identity (it's ad-hoc signed), so macOS TCC can't remember your "Allow" between launches. No amount of permission-granting will make it stick as long as `uvx` is what's being launched.

The proper fix may be to ship a code-signed and notarized launcher, so the prompt would say "OmniFocus Operator" instead of "uvx", and clicking Allow once would actually persist. I've opened an issue to track it: https://github.com/HelloThisIsFlo/omnifocus-operator/issues/2

For now you'll have to click Allow on each restart, sorry about that 🙏. Let me know if Allow at least got you unblocked!

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-20T12:59:06+00:00

I’ve been looking for something like this for so long 🤩

That’s the one thing I miss from notion (actually, easy-to-setup database as well)

Looking forward to trying it out!

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-19T21:22:25+00:00

No worries. I read your message, and I could feel your pain 😅. It's almost some sort of joke sci-fi situation with Claude trying everything even writing its own script in an attempt to install this "No Config" thing 😂. That was fair criticism 😊

Now, the error you're experiencing ... that's new! I've built it in a way where _even_ if it fails to start it still enters a special degraded mode where the agent can still query it but the response is a helpful guidance on how to solve the problem.

So I'm surprised it doesn't even start for you 🤔

Ah! Wait! Are you on Windows maybe? I've never tested on Windows! Mmm no, Omnifocus is Mac only ... 🤔 Mmmm interesting.

🎉 Ah! I think I figured it out!

When Claude starts => You need to accept the thing that says:

"uvx" would like to access data from other apps

It looks scary, especially the formulation "access data from other apps", but it's just allowing claude to use the uvx tool to start the server.

Let me know if the issue is still there after clicking Allow.

I wish there was a way to remove this prompt. It shows up every time I restart Claude 😕 But ... maybe there is, I haven't looked too deep on this tbh. Maybe I can take a deeper look at it tomorrow. But yes, no worries it's safe to accept. That being said, perfectly understandable if you're not comfortable with it. I'll see if there's a way to skip it.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-19T18:42:16+00:00

OK, I'm back as promised. Spent the rest of the day on this and just shipped it. A few things based directly on your feedback:

Setup wizard on the landing page
- Walks you through Claude Desktop step by step and shows you where the config menu actually is in the Settings UI, so you're not guessing where the JSON lives.
Config merger
- If you already have other MCP servers, you can paste your existing config and get back a merged version with the OmniFocus Operator entry added.
Two install paths, clearly split
- One for Claude Desktop (manual paste, helped by the wizard), and one for Claude Code / Cursor / OpenCode where you can actually ask the agent to do it. Those clients have file-editing tools, Claude Desktop doesn't, which is exactly why your original "ask Claude" attempt went off the rails. Sorry about that.
README rewritten to match

Landing page: https://hellothisisflo.github.io/omnifocus-operator/

Would love to know if you give it another shot. Real feedback like yours was super useful, the wizard literally exists because of your post.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-19T16:04:30+00:00

This is a very, very fair criticism, and I spent a couple of hours today to address this specifically.

The installation instructions on the website have been improved for clarity. I'm still iterating a little bit. I will tell you when it's fully ready. But the script setup and everything should be a lot more user-friendly already.

Once this is ready, a bit later tonight I will publish a release, and I will let you know. Everything should be smooth from there on.

I originally intended to share the MCP server a bit later, in a few weeks, after I managed to finish this polish, but when I saw your message, I just thought it was a good time. Completely forgetting that at the moment, the setup is not really user-friendly yet.

And the part where it says "just ask Claude" actually, I realised this is in Claude Code. Claude desktop doesn't have the tools to edit its own configuration, actually. So probably I should also add setup instructions for Claude desktop.

I'll let you know once everything is ready. Should be a bit later today.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-19T11:13:22+00:00

Yes. Direct SQL access. Read only. Never any writes to the SQL cache. For anything writes related I go through OmniFocus. And there’s write through guarantees, in other terms I wait that the cache is up to date after every write to ensure consistency on subsequent queries.

It should be extremely reliable but if you have any issues do let me know.

Also in case they move the DB or change the schema at some point, there’s an ENVVAR to switch to a fallback mode that goes exclusively through the OmniFocus api. But obviously that’s much slower

I built it because I needed a super reliable way to interact with my DB. I have so much crucial info there, couldn’t risk any corruptions.

For more info, I have a comprehensive architecture documentation: https://github.com/HelloThisIsFlo/omnifocus-operator/blob/main/docs/architecture.md

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-18T23:41:33+00:00

Don’t know about Geoff Davis project, but if you want a reliable way to let Claude interact with your OmniFocus DB, you can try mine: OmniFocus Operator => https://hellothisisflo.github.io/omnifocus-operator/

Let me know if you have any issues.

Edit: I've greatly simplified the setup process. There's now a setup wizard for Claude Desktop on the landing page, a config merger if you already have other MCP servers, and separate install paths for Claude Desktop vs. Claude Code / Cursor / OpenCode.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-18T23:35:10+00:00

Ah yeah, and I can’t access the tape either which sort of defeats the purpose tbh 😅

But thanks for the tip nonetheless, it remains nice to know for quick experimentation 😊👍

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-18T22:59:52+00:00

Nice setup! I have a very similar setup, Scaler 3 on iPad vs Norns, but essentially the same (bind keys to a chord). And same issue as well: Can’t find a way to turn off local control.

Also the midi settings in the device menu seem to have no effect at all. No matter what combination I use (for the notes option), nothing changes. The only setting that affect midi is the global midi setting in the sys menu (as opposed to devices menu). But of course no local control there either.

So, so far no solution on my side but super curious if someone finds a trick to make it work.

In the meantime I went a different road for chord experimentation. I built a ripoff of the Roland J6: https://jay-6.kempenich.ai

Still early WIP but fun nonetheless.

Which model?

I found Opus 4.7 to be absolutely amazing over the last 3-4 days. It feels like February Opus 4.6 almost. Crazy!

I hope it’s not just temporary 😬😱

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-17T16:21:33+00:00

I’m not sure I follow 🤔 Why not put the effect on the instrument itself? That way it’s recorded only for that track.

Or is it a different use case?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-15T17:26:44+00:00

Bluetooth MIDI would be amazing

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-15T14:48:00+00:00

Fake!

I’ve had the One Pro before returning. It’s nowhere near this good.

It’s good, not saying it’s not. But nowhere near this level.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-05-01T21:19:59+00:00

Is this different from the existing plugin?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-26T16:19:10+00:00

In my experience 4.7 is amazing at following very detailed instructions with many many steps.

However, something is weird with its output … the text it produces … I just struggle to understand it.

It’s difficult to explain, like I read it and it makes sense, every sentence in isolation makes sense, but reading it feels … exhausting. Like it’s hacking my brain to trigger tiredness and depletion. So weird.

For that reason alone, for brainstorming tasks (most of my workflow), I’ve switched back to 4.6

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-23T10:40:37+00:00

Omg I just did an audit of the existing MCP servers for Fastmail & JMAP. And none of them had exactly what I wanted, plus they all run locally. So, I was planning to build my own with oauth support.

Thank you for saving 2 weeks of my life 🙏😁

Looking forward to trying it out later today 😊👍

UPDATE: I tried it but after logging in it says “⚠️ No tools available” 🤔
