Dark Hour

paused pythontextualclaude

A personal operating environment that runs in the terminal. Habits, tasks, notes, a stock portfolio, and song ideas live on one screen, and an AI persona called NEON (Claude) reads all of it at once — writing a morning brief, making observations, and following up on habits you said you'd keep.

The dashboard: habits, tasks, notes, NEON, and portfolio in one view. (Demo data.)

What it does

• Habits with streaks and a 30-day trend, quick-marked from the keyboard
• Tasks that reset daily, notes with inline #tags, song ideas with vibe metadata
• Portfolio view with weights, P&L, tiers, and goal alignment
• NEON — chat, observations, UX reviews, and a morning brief. You approve or reject its output, and those judgments are fed back in so it drifts toward your taste over time
• Trust levels (0–5) that gate what NEON is allowed to produce, plus a Watcher that logs everything it says
• Local-first: data stays in a data/ folder on your machine; the API key goes straight to Anthropic

Habits and streaks.

The AI is optional. Everything except NEON works without an API key. To turn NEON on, add your own Anthropic API key — calls are billed to you, capped by a daily limit, and the static context is prompt-cached to keep daily use cheap.
