I built a macOS screen recorder that saves screen, mic, webcam, and system audio as separate tracks

I built a small macOS app to solve a problem I kept running into while creating YouTube videos.

Most screen recorders export everything into a single file, which makes editing much harder than it needs to be.

So I built RecLayer.

It records and saves each source as a separate track:

  • Screen
  • Webcam
  • Microphone
  • System Audio

One feature I’m particularly happy with is system audio capture.

Unlike many screen recorders that simply record whatever comes out of your speakers, RecLayer captures the actual system audio. That means audio from apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, YouTube, or Spotify is saved as its own separate track, independent of your microphone.

This gives you much more control during editing—you can adjust levels, remove noise, or even replace narration without affecting the other audio.

It’s a native macOS app with a simple workflow: press Record, stop when you’re done, and start editing.

I recently launched it on the App Store. It’s only sold 3 copies so far 😄, but shipping something people actually pay for has been incredibly motivating.

I’d genuinely love your feedback.

After countless late nights, "de Broglie" the world's most beautiful Boggle game, is finally on the App Store

[ Download ]

I recently got into word games through reddit mini-games, so I decided to build my own take on Boggle. I named it de Broglie.

What started as a small side project slowly turned into months of obsessing over tiny details. I spent far more time than I'd like to admit tweaking animations, shadows, colors, typography, and interactions because I wanted the game to feel as satisfying as it was to play.

A simple boggle game has millions of letter combinations; an inefficient algorithm can be very slow on phones. That's why under the hood, I built the word search around a Trie algorithm so boards can be validated quickly and gameplay stays responsive, even with larger grids. I also spent a lot of time profiling and optimizing the app to make taps, transitions, and animations feel buttery smooth.

This is also the first game I've ever made.

I definitely didn't do it alone. Claude Code became an incredible collaborator throughout the process. It helped me think through algorithms, refine ideas, catch edge cases, and iterate on the UI much faster than I could have on my own. The final decisions and implementation were still mine, but having that kind of assistant made building something this polished feel achievable.

Thanks for reading. ❤️

Bosnian Goalkeeper and Defenders got paid by Trump to let US Soccer team score this goal and qualify for the next round

All your defenders are like 2m tall and they don't even jump on a short free kick?

US Dollar bills in their bank account.

Instead of watching a rigged world cup, I'd rather play Boggle.

Reached ~178 Stars! Built a Terminal Torrent client that searches every trusted source at once and downloads straight to disk

Finding a torrent in 2026 sucks. One site is a minefield of fake download buttons. Another hides the real link under a popup that spawns two more tabs. And after all that, half the results are dead with zero seeders.

So I built the opposite. torlink lives in your terminal: you type a query, it hits a curated set of trackers all at once, and the results stream back tagged with source, size, and seeders as fast as each site answers. Arrow to the one you want, press d, and it lands on your drive. No browser and no setup.

The whole thing is one command:

npx torlnk

That's it, all you need is Node. (The npm name is torlnk; torlink was too close to an existing package, so the spare "i" had to go.)

What you get

  • One search across FitGirl, YTS, EZTV, Nyaa, SubsPlease, and SolidTorrents at once, with results streaming in and staying sorted as each source answers. If one is down it keeps going and tells you which.
  • Press d to grab. Queue up as many as you want; they download in the background and pick up where they left off if you quit mid-transfer.
  • It seeds by default once a download finishes, and you can turn that off per item. Torrenting only works when people give back.
  • A clean keyboard-driven TUI: one footer line, a ? cheatsheet, and that is the whole surface. Nothing leaves your machine except the request to the torrent network.

My favorite way to use it right now is loading up on games to try out this summer. One search, a couple of keystrokes, and a whole stack of them is downloading in the background.

On games: games are the only category that can actually run code, so those come from FitGirl alone, a repacker with a long, well-known track record. Everything else is plain video and subtitles from sources like YTS, EZTV, and Nyaa.

MIT and open source. Open to feedback and source suggestions, and a star is appreciated if you find it useful.

AI Bubble about to Burst? Nvidia quietly acquihires Essential AI team, including Transformer coauthor Ashish Vaswani. Vaswani was struggling to raise money for his AI company.

If the Transformer paper author is struggling to raise money, then the bubble is about to burst.

Nvidia has hired Ashish Vaswani, founder and CEO of Essential AI, and several others from the Essential AI team, according to a source close to the startup, who said Vaswani will be working on Nvidia’s Nemotron open-source models.

According to the source, Vaswani was struggling to raise money and said that “taking Ashish/Essential away from AMD was also a motivator.” AMD, one of Nvidia’s main chip competitors, was an early strategic investor in Essential AI and the startup has long relied on AMD GPUs.

While Claude Fable might be stronger than GLM but no one can take it away from you

That's the power of open source AI. For those who think local models are a joke, try running them on your phone with AI Desktop 98 and see if it changes your mind.

I spent two years building a 100% free alternative to Splitwise.

Hi everyone,

I believe a basic utility like splitting expenses with friends and family should be free. When Splitwise paywalled their core features and started adding dark patterns, I looked for alternatives but found nothing with an intuitive UX. So, I built Divy.

The thing I'm most proud of, is that I was also able to make a group debt simplification algorithm that is better than Splitwise. This was only possible due to my cousin, who literally did a research project on this at CMU and beat the Splitwise algo.

We've run many simulations at this point, and tested it to a point where I feel confident sharing it with the world. Check it out at hellodivy.com.

This is the first side project I officially completed successfully in my life. I started on this in 2024, and hit publish on the app store earlier this year, spending the last few months fixing bugs and making UI improvements based on early feedback.

To my surprise, building an accounting app like this was much harder than I anticipated. Combine that with building this only on weekends while having a full time job, and I was barely making progress. I was determined though! I think the backend was completely ready by early 2025, without using any major AI coding tools (cause nothing was that good at that point). Since I was dedicated to making this available for both iOS and Android from day one, I started building the UI in React Native. It did not go so well, mainly due to the state management being a nightmare, and React coming with nothing out of the box. And I'm sorry, but I refuse to use Redux.

It was mid 2025, when I decided to restart the UI dev using Ionic/Angular. That combined with Cursor, I was able to fly. Even though I only worked on this every Sunday, I was able to make so much progress each week, and I finally had a working version by the end of the year. At this stage, I'm proud to announce that most of the basic requirements that would make an app like this useful.

Only available in the US and Canada at the moment, as I'm working on adding multi-currency support.

I look forward to any feedback! If you're interested, you can also join our Discord community here to get direct updates, make feature requests, and report issues.

I created a Postman like alternative in Flutter 100% free, no ads or even intention of earning money. Just for fun

So, I used to use Postman quite a lot at my work, but I never liked it. It is full of bloat not only in terms of features, but also for trying to make you subscribe, being super heavy and slow due to being yet another Electron app.

So, since I was out of ideas and wanted to burn some tokens, I decided to try to do something similar, but lightweight. And the most performant stack I could find that was also cross-platform and relatively easy to maintain is Flutter.

I ended up spending about 2 weeks working with it until it got to a point where I could finally delete Postman from my notebook and just use it all the time.

This project is mostly for myself; I don't have any intention of earning any money or doing any sort of cloud-related feature. It's all local, and I will be the only one really maintaining it. I just wanted to share it here, since this is a developers community, and more people who have the same opinion on Postman as me could find it cool too.

The app is called Getman (sorry lol) and is the poor (but faster) brother of Postman.
https://github.com/thiagomiranda3/Getman

If you just want to take a look without having to download it, I also have a live demo of it:
https://thiagomiranda3.github.io/Getman/

Since it is made with Flutter, I managed to build it with the same features as the desktop version. You can see that it loads SUPER fast.

If you end up wanting to download it, bear in mind that it is NOT a signed app, since I would have to pay 99 USD a year to Apple just to sign an app that will only be used by me. And I don't have any intention of paying this to sign it correctly. So you will have to force the execution of it the first time in the Mac settings.

All the features are 100% free, and the only time it ever connects to the internet is when you open it, so it checks for updates on the GitHub release page. You can also disable this in the menu.
