I’m not a software engineer by trade, but I needed to make a number of screenshots for my job that all needed to be the exact same size. Every app I found wouldn't let me input or save a preset size to make my life easier, so I thought I'd try out using AI to help me build a simple app to solve that problem. It wasn't long before I started adding more and more useful features and ended up building the screenshot app I wanted to see in the world (CapSize - which now has local OCR and a ton of annotation tools). I had so much fun with it I started thinking of what other apps I could use for…

    Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

    Hello HN! I want to share something me and a few friends have been working on for a while now — Zeroshot, a web tool that builds image classifiers using text-image models and autolabeling. What does this mean in practice? You can put together an image classifier in about 30 seconds that’s faster and more accurate than CLIP, but that you can deploy yourself however you’d like. It’s open source, commercially licensed, and doesn’t require you to pay anyone per API call. Here's a 2 minute video that shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4R1gtmM-Lo How/why does it…

    Few weeks back i have been deleting my screenshots which gave me idea to this side project to declutter and organise my device screenshots. After several weekend it turn out to this. Since deep learning need lot of infra and i am running on budget, results might be slow but you will get results. Let me know in comments what can i do better or how can i do better.

    Every day, I send a lot of screenshots. The default app on Mac is useless. I have to do so many steps: take a screenshot, save it, annotate it, save it as an image, then send it as an image in chats. It takes me a few minutes. But it should take just a few seconds. My second use case is sending feedback to my AI agents, and I’ve found they make much better edits when I provide comments and annotations on the screenshot. So I built this app. It lets me instantly capture screenshots, annotate them, and share them in one click. The same goes for any agent. It can do everything the native macOS…

    It works by using open AIs new gpt-image API, image processing algorithms and some prompt engineering. Still has some limitations, but can already generate ready to use assets.

    http://imagestash.org/ Kind of like Instapaper for images. While surfing at home one evening I found the perfect desktop background ... for my work machine. I got to pondering the quickest way to save a random image so I could get to it on all of my devices, got a wee bit carried away with the technical possibilities, and this was the result. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hey HN, I built Reyn - which I like to describe as "granola but for everything". You're probably thinking another screen capture AI tool (which is true). Same as always, the biggest question that comes up is privacy, so I'll talk about that first 1. raw screen data is never stored in the cloud 2. user controlled filters are granular to the point that you're able to configure specific apps, windows, websites, or even keywords to be discarded immediately (once again never leaving your mac) and never captured down the pipeline I personally built it because I find it useful and always had the…

    I built Crit, a CLI tool that lets you capture screenshots from iOS Simulator, drop pins on what's wrong, and hand structured feedback to any coding agent. You just: crit capture — screenshot your app screens crit serve — review in browser, click to pin bugs and add comments Tell your agent: "review .crit and fix each issue" It saves annotated screenshots and JSON to a .crit/ folder. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini — anything that can read images. No plugins, no MCP, no dependencies. macOS + Xcode required. Android not yet supported. Repo:…

    Frameloop is an AI-powered video creation and automation tool, that turns ideas into publishable videos within seconds. I've been working on this for past 4 months now, and have few paying customers as well. Most of them are individual creators, and about 20% are businesses. I'd like to focus more on business users going forwards, and am building branded video features for businesses. There are many other tools at this point, but my focus has been to focus on great UX, and giving users a really good first draft, which is easily editable. And I think that focus is what differentiates us. Try…

    I got tired of repetitive editing tasks, so I built a tool that simplifies bulk edits using text prompts and AI workflows. Now I can quickly handle things like virtual staging, changing backgrounds, adding/removing objects, adjusting brightness and exposure, color corrections, boosting contrast and clarity, fixing distortions, batch color grading and much more! But most importantly, I can do this to all selected images, tens, hundreds or more. I'm particularly interested in feedback on the workflow and UI from photographers/editors who handle large volumes of images. I've increased…

    To learn OpenAI’s APIs a bit better (but mostly for fun), I made this image matching/prompting game. The idea is to generate a matching image using a prompt with limited input. You’ll have 3 tries. A new image and leaderboard is automatically reset daily. Let me know your thoughts! Please visit TwinPics.ai - Chris Sev

    I recently quit my job at a decent TTS company I was working for as a software developer advocate to pursue what I have always enjoyed doing, which is creating software that is helpful. Before and after quitting my job, I have always found it expensive and time-consuming to hire a designer that can come up with a decent logo for my software, and as a software engineer, I really enjoy coding, not designing. One day, I made a pretty bold move to design a logo, and it took me a whole day to come up with a logo that looks nice. This is the reason I built Owl AI, a logo generator that generates…

    I’ve posted here before about Julie, an open-source desktop AI assistant I’ve been building in public. The OSS version is local-first and powerful, but it assumes you’re comfortable bringing your own models or API keys. A lot of people told me the same thing: “I just want to install it and have it work.” So I built Julie Zero. Julie Zero is the premium tier that works straight out of the box. No API keys, no setup. Install it and start using it immediately. What Julie Zero does: Sees your screen and understands what you’re looking at in real time Helps across apps by clicking, typing,…

    I built Screenstab [1] as a solo developer to make it easier to create the tilt-shift-style screenshots often seen in product launches, landing pages, blogs, and tech journalism. It used to have a paid PRO version, but I’ve decided to make the whole app free as well as open source. All former PRO features are now included in the free version: watermark-free exports, HD export, ambient colors, axis controls, drag-and-drop, and the rest. I’ve also moved the source code to public GitHub [2]. I handled the product, design, frontend, backend, image-processing workflow, operations, payments, and…

    My first public repo intended to be used by others. While I am curious on how you'd use it, I'd love feedback on the code/setup/pythonic nature of it all. I am on a career break and just experimenting a lot, especially on ways to make AI useful for everyday things. I've coded more in the past 6 weeks than the past 6 years and don't know a lot of python devs. Python was never big language at my previous companies, but something I used a lot for tools and projects going back to college compiler days. Old habits die hard. Are there tools that do this as you screenshot? Probably...…
