I keep switching tools. The space moves fast and what works best changes every few months. This is a running log of what Iβm using, what Iβve tried, and what Iβm watching. Latest on top.
Apr 2026 β now
Main tools: Codex, Claude
- Codex β hard and challenging features, plus implementation work.
- Claude β multi-session workflows.
- OpenClaw - personal assitant
- Antigravity - reading code
Currently testing:
- Hermes Agent - using on a raspberry pi
- Oh My Codex - codex with superpowers
On the radar: Conductor, Pi Agent
- Conductor β investigating where it fits.
- Pi Agent β investigating where it fits.

Main tools: Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity
- Codex β deep implementation, finding bugs, clean UI work. Smooth worktree integration for juggling multiple tasks. Also using it for PR reviews.
- Claude Code β terminal-first coding sessions.
- Antigravity β manual reading and editing files when I want more control.
- OpenClaw β runs on a Raspberry Pi, used through WhatsApp for automation and edits on the go. Things like migrating a Next.js app or spinning up a quick app for a specific need.
Jan 2026 β Mar 2026
Main tools: Antigravity
- Antigravity β Plan Mode and PR workflow. Felt like the most complete integration at the time β planning, implementing, and reviewing all in one place.
Started noticing Codex was better for harder, more complex tasks though.
Oct 2025 β Jan 2026
Main tools: Cline (VS Code), Gemini, ChatGPT
- Cline (VS Code) β Plan-then-Act mode. Used Grok through Cline because it was free and fast.
- Gemini β used for PRDs.
- ChatGPT β general purpose, quick questions.
By the end of this period I wanted something more integrated. Thatβs what pulled me toward Antigravity.
Also tried at some point
Amp, OpenCode β havenβt spent enough time with either yet, but their architecture looks interesting. Want to go deeper.
Watching
Pi, Minions (Stripe) β curious about both, havenβt gone deep yet.
