gm legends, happy Wednesday.

Baton is built for the moment one coding agent turns into four and your desktop starts looking like branch soup, Zzzappy is a break app that actually watches how hard you are hammering your hands and eyes instead of just firing off a dumb timer, and Remodex puts Codex on your phone so you can check in, steer runs, and keep things moving without being glued to your Mac. 

Product Hunt is teaming up with The Pitch by Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+ in funding. If you make the cut, you’ll also show up on special Product Hunt leaderboards, with the first event kicking off on April 13.

That means this is not just a nice bit of exposure. There is real money on the table, and a very public place to see which startups are getting attention.

Baton is a desktop app for running multiple coding agents without juggling a pile of terminals and branches. Each agent gets its own git-isolated workspace, and you can review diffs, browse files, search the codebase, and see which ones actually need attention from one place. It works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and other terminal-based agents.

🔥 Our Take: One agent is fun. Two feels clever. Four is usually where the whole thing turns into branch soup and nobody remembers which window is doing what. This is for that point. Not writing code, just keeping the swarm from becoming its own problem.

Remodex is an open-source iPhone remote for Codex running on your Mac. Pair once with a QR code, then create threads, run subagents, use skills, do git actions, and steer active runs from your phone, with end-to-end encrypted sessions and optional self-hosting.

🔥 Our Take: This is what people wanted the second Codex got good enough to leave running for a while. Not coding a whole feature from your phone, just checking in, approving something, nudging a run, pushing a commit, then getting on with your day. Once these tools start working for longer stretches, the remote becomes half the product.

Zzzappy is a native macOS break app that looks at both screen time and arm input load, so it is not just running on a dumb timer. It tracks typing, clicks, trackpad travel, scroll distance, and continuous use, then nudges you to step away before your eyes or wrists start complaining. It also pauses itself during meetings, videos, and focus apps.

🔥 Our Take: The useful part here is that it is not just counting minutes. It is paying attention to what you are actually doing with your hands, eyes, and mouse, then timing the reminder around that. That makes a lot more sense than getting told to take a break in the middle of doing nothing.
