If you hand your laptop to someone for a few minutes, they can still open Messages, Photos, Notes, Mail, WhatsApp, browsers, password managers, and other personal apps. I wanted a way to protect specific applications without constantly locking my entire Mac.

I looked around for solutions, but most were outdated, paid, abandoned, or didn't feel native to macOS.

So I built FaceGate.

FaceGate is a native macOS app that lets you lock individual applications and unlock them using Face Unlock, Touch ID, or a password.

A few things I focused on from day one:

• Everything runs locally on your Mac
• No cloud processing
• No accounts
• No telemetry
• No subscriptions
• Fully open source

Features:

• Face Unlock powered entirely on-device using Apple's Neural Engine - little impact on cpu and gpu resources.
• Fast authentication with very low memory and CPU usage
• Liveness detection to prevent photo and video spoofing attacks
• Touch ID and password fallback
• Per-app unlock timers
• Automatic re-lock on sleep, wake, or screen lock
• Custom schedules for automatic lock/unlock periods
• Tamper protection that prevents FaceGate from being quit, disabled, or uninstalled without authentication
• Runs quietly from the menu bar with minimal system impact.

The entire project is written in Swift and designed specifically for macOS.

This is still actively being developed, and I'd genuinely love feedback from Mac users.

Some questions:

• Is app-level locking something you've wanted on macOS?
• Which apps would you personally lock?
• What security or privacy features would you like to see added?

If you think I did a good job, please feel free to leave a star on my github repo - means a lot to me.

Feedback, feature requests, bug reports, and contributions are all welcome. I'd love to hear what you think.

I'm Jerry, founder of Monni.

I'm giving 20 people a free 1-year membership in exchange for blunt feedback on the first week.

Monni is an iOS money brief for people who want a lighter weekly check-in instead of a full budgeting system.

Best fit:

• you use or used Mint, Monarch, YNAB, Simplifi, spreadsheets, or mental math
• you want a clearer "what's safe to spend this week?" view
• you're okay telling me what feels confusing or untrustworthy

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/monni-ai-money-tracker/id6778174904

Website: https://monni.io

DM me if you want one. I'll reply asking for the email to grant access to, then manually add the free year.

Please don't post your email publicly, and don't send balances, screenshots, account numbers, addresses, passwords, or private financial details. High-level workflow feedback is enough.

I may be biased because I'm the founder of Monni.io.

I built Resume Local, an iPhone resume builder that runs entirely on your device — no accounts, no cloud, nothing uploaded.

👉 TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/7DrKCVUh

- Build or import a resume (PDF/DOCX/paste) → 10 templates → PDF export

- On-device AI (Apple Intelligence): tailor to a job description, improve bullets, cover letters, interview stories & practice

- Encrypted, password-protected backup

Needs iOS 17+. AI features require iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence (older iPhones still build/import/export, just without AI).

Free beta, solo dev, would love honest feedback — especially on import accuracy and whether the AI output feels truthful to your real experience.

Problem

Windows Search has always felt too limited to me.

It can open apps and sometimes find files, but when I actually want to search my PC properly, it usually falls apart.

I want to search and use features like:

- Text inside files, code, and images

- Browser bookmarks and history

- Clipboard history

- Git commits

- Windows settings

- Local commands

- Local agents for Windows

Windows Search is not powerful enough for this workflow.

So I Built OmniSearch

OmniSearch is a fast, lightweight, local-first Windows launcher that opens with:

"Alt + Space"

You can also set your own custom hotkey.

It gives you one search box for your PC.

Instead of only searching apps or basic file names, OmniSearch can search across:

- Apps

- Files and folders

- Content inside files, supporting 50+ extensions

- Image OCR text

- Browser bookmarks and history

- Clipboard history

- Git commits

- Windows settings and Control Panel pages

It also features an AI agent powered by Hermes and includes a powerful clipboard manager that gives you features no other Windows clipboard manager provides.

The goal is simple: Find everything on your PC from one shortcut.

Why is OmniSearch better than Windows Search and other popular launchers?

- Free and open source

- Local-first

- Lightweight

- Designed to run easily on low-end Windows PCs

- Image OCR text search

- Blazing-fast search of content inside files, supporting 50+ extensions

- Blazing-fast search over centralized PC history, including browser history, Git commit history, clipboard history, and file history

- Hermes agents for local Windows tasks and long autonomous tasks

Feedback

I am currently maintaining OmniSearch, and honestly, I cannot find and fix every bug alone because building a launcher like this on Windows is genuinely hard.

I would love feedback from people who use Windows every day.

If OmniSearch solves a problem for you too, please consider leaving a star on GitHub.

If you have ideas, find bugs, or want to improve something, feel free to open an issue or contribute to the project.

Your feedback is always appreciated.

Founder, full disclosure.

Listing sites give you the price. My tool gives you the verdict: paste a listing or pick a neighborhood, get BUY / WATCH / SKIP with the after-tax math behind it. Most verdicts come back SKIP — by design. Honest > flattering.

It covers neighborhoods worldwide — from Miami to Lisbon to Seoul. Basic verdict is free, deep report is paid.

Roast anything: the logic, the pricing, the homepage (it just failed my own 5-second test, so no feelings to hurt). If you invest remotely or out-of-state — what would make you trust or distrust this?

Hey everyone

Me and two classmates from ENSA Khouribga (Morocco) just published our first browser extension — DFCraft. It's an open-source productivity tool.

What it does

It's a Pomodoro timer with everything in one popup:

• Pomodoro Timer — customizable focus/break sessions with notifications
• Ambient Sound Library — 37 sounds across 4 categories (rain, nature, white noise, cafe) with background playback
• Distraction Blocking — block websites during focus sessions
• To do list — for daily tasks
• Statistics Dashboard — calendar heatmap, charts for focus time, tasks, sessions, and blocked pages
• Multi-language — English, French, Arabic (with RTL support)

Privacy

No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. All data is stored locally in the browser. The only network requests are to fetch the public sound library from GitHub. We wrote a full privacy policy here.

We'd really appreciate any feedback — bugs, feature ideas, UI criticism, anything. We're students so we're here to learn 🙏

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi all Josh here,

I've got a quick update the progress on brink is going really well, in between studying and life I've made significant progress. I'm still making final improvements to the functionality as well as the user interface and user experience.

I've taken a lot on board from internal testers and now it's time to let external testers try it out.

I built ServiceFlow because service calls often end up scattered across texts, spreadsheets, job notes, service reports, signatures, PDFs, and billing handoffs that do not always connect well.

ServiceFlow is a web-based PWA built for small field-service teams. It helps manage service calls, technician reports, customer signatures, PDF report generation, and the handoff needed for billing.

I am looking for a small group of people who actually work in or manage a service business to test it and tell me what is confusing, missing, slow, or just plain unnecessary.

I would especially like feedback on:

• Creating and managing service calls
• Technician service reports from a phone or laptop
• Customer signature capture
• PDF report generation
• The flow from completed work to billing/invoicing
• Anything that feels clunky compared with your current process

What you get:

• One month free on any ServiceFlow package
• No long-term commitment
• A beta tester/founder discount if you decide to continue afterward

Who I am looking for:
Owners, service managers, dispatchers, or technicians from small field-service businesses. Industrial maintenance, controls, electrical, HVAC, mechanical service, and similar teams would be especially useful.

I am not looking for polished reviews. I need honest feedback, bug reports, and real-world opinions from people who deal with service work every day.

Comment or message me with your type of business, team size, and what you currently use for service reports or job tracking. I will send approved testers the signup details and free-month code.
