ExFAT Crash Recovery on macOS

After a macOS crash (kernel panic, power loss, forced restart), external ExFAT drives often become unmountable. macOS detects filesystem corruption but cannot repair it, leaving you stuck in a loop where every mount attempt fails.

This guide explains what's happening at the filesystem level and how to fix it — from a quick read-only mount to a full bitmap rebuild that restores read-write access.

Claude Code Response Logger

A reliable solution to automatically log Claude Code interactions to project-specific markdown files.

Problem Solved

Claude Code only stores your inputs (messages, files) in .claude.json, not AI responses. This solution creates persistent logs of when interactions occurred, organized by project directory with automatic archival.
