From the README

VibePulse

Your coding agents, at a glance. Claude Code and Codex quotas, live agent
activity and a clear signal when something needs you — on a small display
beside your keyboard.

Choose a colorful AMOLED panel or the new Paper USB edition: a light,
800 × 480 e-paper view with large numbers, calm typography and a physical
page switch. A local Python service supplies the readings. Local operation
needs no VibePulse account; cloud relays and extra integrations are optional.

· Choose your board · What's on screen
· Latest release · Privacy

Paper currently uses USB from a Mac and has its own firmware and feature limits.
The AMOLED family includes 2.16 square, 2.41 V2, 1.91 Touch, round 1.75 and
1.8 V2 development profiles. Each needs its own build; support is tied to the
recorded hardware evidence.

Paper USB edition — 3.97-inch e-paper

A quiet, light 800 × 480 e-paper USB edition is now available in source.
It reads the existing VibePulse tokenserver: Claude/Codex weekly quota, reset
time and agent activity. Unchanged values send a heartbeat instead of flashing
the display; content changes use partial refresh, with periodic full cleanup.

The owner has checked live Codex data, navigation and the quieter update on
one Waveshare ESP32-S3-ePaper-3.97-Kit (SKU 33811). This is a dedicated USB
firmware/host target, not the full AMOLED feature set. Battery, audio, Wi-Fi,
OTA and remote decisions are not qualified. Build/setup guide

clodfarm (say it out loud): a farm of Claude Code agents. Plant a mission, they split it into sub-agents, open the work, and pace themselves on each account's real 5-hour and weekly usage. Steer it from the Claude app.
