- [ThreeTabs is now on the Chrome Web Store](https://al-mo.de/blog/threetabs-chrome-web-store/): The tab-limit extension can now be installed in one click from the Chrome Web Store, with automatic updates.

- [WayWayBack: browse a site's whole history on a heat-map calendar](https://al-mo.de/blog/waywayback/): An unofficial, fully client-side browser for the Wayback Machine: pick a year, a month and a day, and open any snapshot.

- [Claude Status Bar: your Claude Code limits, always visible](https://al-mo.de/blog/claude-status-bar/): A usage meter that shows both rate limits and the countdown to each reset, in your Xfce panel or system tray.

- [Floating Mute: mute your phone with one tap, from any app](https://al-mo.de/blog/floating-mute/): A small floating button for Android that mutes and unmutes in one tap, made for short videos, and puts your volume back where it was.

- [Floating Volume: a volume slider that floats above every app](https://al-mo.de/blog/floating-volume/): Control your device's volume from anywhere with a floating slider on Android, built with Flutter and a native Kotlin layer.

- [sddm-simplisim: a login screen that is just black](https://al-mo.de/blog/sddm-simplisim/): A minimal, pure-black SDDM theme with a live clock, username and password fields, and a power-off button.

- [FiAE-AP2: a study site for the IHK AP2 exam](https://al-mo.de/blog/fiae-ap2/): Topics, quizzes, flashcards and crash courses for the Fachinformatiker Anwendungsentwicklung exam, in plain JavaScript with no build step.

- [FullShot: full-page screenshots in one click, nothing uploaded](https://al-mo.de/blog/fullshot/): A free, open-source extension that scrolls, stitches and saves whole pages as PNG, JPEG or PDF — entirely on your device.

- [ThreeTabs: a browser that only lets you open three tabs](https://al-mo.de/blog/three-tabs/): Why a hard tab limit beats tab managers, how ThreeTabs enforces it, and what it does (and doesn't) touch.

- [Why grayscale matters (and how hard desktops make it)](https://al-mo.de/blog/why-grayscale-matters/): Color is a lever built to pull you back in. Here's why I built graytoggle for XFCE, what to use on GNOME and KDE instead, and why none of this should be this hard.
