Drops text into a macOS Stickies note, styled the way @jeffrey likes it: translucent, larger text, sized to fit the content closely, and centered on screen.

When @jeffrey says "sticky the <thing>" on a macOS host, run this on that thing.

node toolchain/macos/sticky.mjs path/to/file.txt   # note from a file
node toolchain/macos/sticky.mjs --text "a note"    # note from a string
echo "a note" | node toolchain/macos/sticky.mjs    # note from stdin

Flags: --bigger N (font bumps over the Stickies default, default 3), --opaque (skip translucency), --no-center (leave it where it lands).

Needs Accessibility permission for the host terminal — the script drives Stickies with osascript / System Events keystrokes (⌘N, ⌘V, font bumps, ⌥⌘T). If the paste lands empty, the content is still on the clipboard; just ⌘V into the note by hand.

chrome-shot.mjs — safe headless Chrome screenshots #

Wraps Google Chrome --headless=new --screenshot=… so it actually exits. --headless=new reliably writes the PNG but often refuses to quit; left unattended these orphans pile up, each pinning a /tmp/chrome-* profile dir, and eventually open -a "Google Chrome" stops opening windows at all. This wrapper polls the output, kills Chrome the moment the file stabilises, cleans up the ephemeral profile, and reaps any headless Chromes older than 2 minutes before it starts.

node toolchain/macos/chrome-shot.mjs <url> <out.png> \
  [--size WxH] [--budget MS] [--wait MS] [--full-page]

Use this anywhere you'd otherwise type a raw Google Chrome --headless=new … incantation (TL site screenshots, paper previews, etc.). Never spawn a loose headless Chrome — always go through this script.

to-phone.mjs — push files to the iPhone (zero taps) #

Sends files from this Mac to @jeffrey's iPhone over the shared iCloud account (same Apple ID on both) — no AirDrop, no accept prompt, no drag. Two rails, auto-picked per file:

photos & videos → imported into Photos → iCloud Photos syncs them to the iPhone camera roll (ready to post to Instagram, etc.)
everything else → copied into iCloud Drive → shows up in the Files app

node toolchain/macos/to-phone.mjs <file...>
node toolchain/macos/to-phone.mjs --album "pals" *.png    # into a Photos album
node toolchain/macos/to-phone.mjs --drive report.pdf      # force iCloud Drive
node toolchain/macos/to-phone.mjs --folder pals doc.pdf   # Drive subfolder

Flags: --photos / --drive force a rail, --album NAME (Photos, created if missing), --folder NAME (iCloud Drive subfolder, default to-phone). Needs iCloud Photos + iCloud Drive on (both enabled on this host). Sync lands in a few seconds. Complements iphone-tap/ (which drives the phone via iPhone Mirroring) — this one gets files onto the phone.
