WhatCable, a tiny menu bar app for inspecting USB-C cables▲566
USB-C cables can be a mess. One cable charges at 5W, another does 100W and Thunderbolt 4, and they look identical in the drawer. WhatCable sits in your menu bar and reads the cable data your Mac already has access to. Plug in a cable and it tells you in plain English what it can actually do: charging wattage, data speed, display support, Thunderbolt, etc. Built in Swift/SwiftUI. Open source, free, no tracking.

Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch▲397
Simple KVM lets you control multiple PCs from one mouse, keyboard and monitor(s). It is similar to Haimgel's display-switch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29608967), but it provides a GUI which hopefully makes it a bit easier to set up. It also supports hotkeys which effectively lets you alt+tab between computers. I was surprised by the star-to-download ratio (55:400) on GitHub, so I thought I'd post it here as it might be useful to someone. Feedback welcome! Thanks, Fidel
