The full story
The poster wanted a simpler tool than RawTherapee for basic adjustments to ARW files from their Sony A6700, and did not want a Lightroom subscription. Claude Code created apps in Rust for a Windows PC, an Android tablet and a phone, compiled by GitHub with no development tools on the poster's PC; first versions took under 10 minutes.
Claude looked at RawTherapee's code for how corrections work (logic only, not copied). It also read Sony's Camera Remote documentation to import pictures from the camera over wifi, and the apps update themselves from GitHub.
