Halo Terminal

A USB-C light that glows the moment your coding agent needs you.

An AI coding agent finishes and waits. There's no sound, no popup — just a blinking cursor in a background tab while you read a PR or make coffee. Halo Terminal turns that dead time into a glow in your peripheral vision: when the light is on, the agent is waiting for you.

It's a small hardware product with a software half:

hat CLI

The tool that connects AI coding assistants to the light. Hook up Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Kiro. Three commands: install, hookup, unhook.

The enclosure

OpenSCAD, 3D Printing

A three-piece snap-together case, designed in code with an AI assistant. The workflow that emerged is written up in AI and OpenSCAD: Designing physical objects in code.
