Pieces Is An Amazing app i have been using this from past 3 months 10 out of 10

I'm a software developer, and let me tell you, juggling deadlines and multiple projects was seriously burning me out. Then I started using Pieces, and it's been a game-changer. Syncing it with my go-to tools like VSCode has been seamless, and it's honestly made my workflow so much smoother, especially for those really complex tasks. The on-device AI is seriously impressive. It's almost creepy how well it anticipates what I need – it feels like it actually understands my projects. And being able to grab code straight from screenshots and add details to snippets without compromising security? That's huge for my productivity. Honestly, Pieces has become my secret weapon. I'm not just getting more done, but I feel way more creative in my work now too.
