Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Oak

Version control and storage layer.

What we like

Unit of work is a branch which is cloned instantly using content-addressed storage - never push to main directly. Changes based around a branch description rather than commit messages. Create a working tree from a remote repo without requiring a full clone. Spaces combine repos for large cross-repo tasks. Import/export from git.

What we don't like

Only supports macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux (x86) due to underlying filesystem requirements for content addressable storage.

cmux

Multi-workspace terminal.

What we like

Vertical tabs with individual notifications, working directories, and ports. Split panes within each tab with in-app browser support. Fully macOS native (Swift + libghostty). Includes a CLI and socket API for automation. iOS app syncs in real time to continue on mobile. Good keyboard shortcuts.

What we don't like

Currently macOS only, but there is a waitlist for other platforms.
