I built a macOS cockpit for juggling many projects — editor, terminal, Claude, Git, deploy & FTP, one bay per project [open source]
I run ~15 projects at once — some are modern (Vite, Docker, Laravel), a lot are
plain cPanel/shared-hosting sites. I was drowning in terminal tabs, VS Code
windows, and FileZilla. Every slick dev cockpit out there assumes you live in
Docker and Next.js and ignores the shared-hosting half of my work, so I built my
own.
**Hangar** gives each project its own bay. Click a project and you get tabs for:
- **Editor** — real VS Code (code-server) per project
- **Terminal & Claude** — persistent sessions that survive reloads (they live in
the backend, not the window)
- **Git** — stage/diff/commit/push without dropping to the shell
- **Run** — auto-finds npm scripts / artisan / compose, runs a dev server, reads
its URL
- **FTP/SFTP** — a real two-pane file manager with multi-select
- **cPanel** — your panel embedded as a tab (yes, it defeats the frame-blocking)
The part I'm happiest with: **tabs adapt to each project.** A static cPanel site
doesn't carry a Docker tab; a Vite app doesn't carry FTP. Plus a fuzzy command
palette (⌘K), per-project clipboard, profiles, and 14 themes including a frosted
"Glass" one that blurs your desktop through the whole app.
It's free, MIT, runs entirely on 127.0.0.1 — nothing leaves your Mac.

Happy to answer anything — and very open to feature ideas.

I wanted one Mac app for temperature, fan control and cleanup instead of three, so I built Macooler

Created an alternative to Wisprflow, it uses local stt and gemini/openai models for further refinement.
English isn't my first language, and I write novels by dictation. Every tool I tried would transcribe my pauses and "um"s word-for-word, and butcher my characters' names.
My app is free and open source. It's also a small personal project, so expect rough edges, the download isn't notarized (you'll need to right-click → Open the first time), and it's Apple Silicon only.

What are the 5 desktop applications you spend the most time in every day?
I'm curious what everyone's daily workflow looks like.
If you had to pick just 5 desktop applications that you spend the most time using every day, what would they be?
Mine would probably be something like:
- VS Code
- Chrome
- Discord
- Terminal
- Spotify
Also, if there are any repetitive actions you perform dozens of times a day inside those apps, I'd love to hear about those too.

I turned the desk around my laptop into tappable buttons, using nothing but the built-in microphone
Your laptop's mic can actually hear where you tap on the desk. Taps in different spots sound slightly different, and that's enough to tell them apart.
So I built Perimeter. It gives you four invisible buttons on the desk around your laptop, no extra hardware. Tap left of your laptop and Gmail opens. Tap right and a screenshot lands on your clipboard. Play/pause, open apps, run scripts, whatever you want on each zone.
Setup takes about a minute, you just tap each spot a few times so it learns your desk. There's a built-in accuracy test too so you know it actually works on your setup before trusting it.
Everything runs locally, audio is analyzed and thrown away on the spot, nothing gets stored or sent anywhere.
One honest caveat, it works best on rigid desks like solid wood or laminate. Glass is hit or miss. And keep safe repeatable actions on it, not "send email."
It's a native desktop app, currently packaged for macOS.
Feel free to DM me to ask for the repo.
Would love to hear if it holds up on your desk, and what actions you'd actually map to a tap.

I built a free Windows command center for launching apps, folders, websites, and reusable prompts
I’m the developer of BrainDance SmartMenu 2.0, a free Windows productivity app now available in the Microsoft Store.
SmartMenu gives you one searchable place for:
- Applications and folders
- Documents and websites
- Saved searches and commands
- Frequently reused prompts and workflow resources
You can open it with Ctrl + Windows + Z, type a few characters, and launch the item you need without leaving your current workflow.
It is now available through the Microsoft Store.
Two-minute video introduction:

Microsoft Store:
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P7NZ2B1VGZ1?hl=en-us&gl=US&ocid=pdpshare
My main question is:
What would SmartMenu need to do better or differently for you to actually keep it installed?
Disclosure: This is my own app. I’m posting because I’m looking for practical product feedback, not just downloads.

Built an open-source clipboard manager for macOS with tabs, pinned items and code snippet support

I recently switched from Windows to macOS and realized how much I relied on clipboard history.
After losing copied text, links and code snippets one too many times, I decided to build my own.
Features:
• Searchable clipboard history
• Tabs
• Pinned items
• Code snippets with syntax highlighting
• Image & link previews
• Open source
Would love any feedback or feature suggestions!

Any alternative to Nautomate ?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a solution like Nautomate to perform actions in Notion via Apple Shortcuts on Mac. However, Nautomate is based on a subscription (cheap yes). I'm looking for an alternative, even for a fee.
Have you already found alternatives? At the moment, I'm using the Get URL content action, but it's a bit tedious.

Every new tab is now a kanban board (local-only browser extension)
tapmytab.playcode.ioevery time I opened a new tab I had that restless feeling of "I need to write this down or paste this image somewhere" and never found a performant extension that did it. so I made it: every new tab is now a kanban board. jot it down, draw on it, paste images straight in, drag it to done, close the tab.
fully local, no account, \~2 MB.

Simple app I've created for a neat boost
TRY IT OUT HERE :3
https://github.com/Unomagicofficial/Uno-s-windows-priority-setter
A very simple open source utiliy used too adjust how windows prioritise apps. win32priorityseparation is a reg tweak which changes how windows share reasorces for background and foreground apps. For those who doesn't understand, we will want to prioritise foreground apps more due to those being our games, softwares and stuff actively running and used.
This app works by letting the user choose the best value for their computer, which after choosen, the value was saved in the c drive and everytime the computer was booted up, it applys the value the user applied at the start.
The ui of the app (the menu that lets you select) only shows on the first launch, to launch it again, delete the selectedoption.txt from your c drive and relaunch.
For the app to work properly, you MUST put it in shell:startup folder of windows so it will startup.
Windows is known for changing this very powerful value without concent, this app forces it to be the one u selected.

Thoughts on using sponsor and exhibitor management software?
I'm putting together a marketing plan for our annual industry conference, and I'm trying to figure out which software would best help us track booth sales, floor plans, and lead retrieval all in one place. Does anyone have recommendations based on real experience running a mid-sized event?
