Every morning I'd open App Store Connect in Safari, enter my password for the millionth time, then wait 8 seconds for the dashboard to load and continue fumbling around for what I needed. Everything took too many clicks and way too long to load. I did this for years and got tired of it. Good thing Apple provided API access for all this data. So I finally built the app I wanted, just the way I liked. Fast, keyboard-friendly navigation, data syncs and gets stored only on the local device. Meet AppDesk — a native macOS client built with SwiftUI for App Store Connect. Everything runs locally —…

A few of us here are probably familiar with the original Xbox modding scene and the iconic xbins FTP server. Recently, I came across an amazing tool called Pandora by Team Resurgent [0], which got me thinking about how incredible something like this would have been 20 years ago. Just to clarify, I had no involvement in creating Pandora—I’m just inspired by their work. For those who aren’t familiar, getting access to xbins involves a rather dated process. You need to connect to a channel on an EFnet IRC server, message a bot for temporary credentials, then plug those credentials into your FTP…

Hello HN: Here is the link https://apps.apple.com/app/id1579078660 After forgetting to turn off a p2.xlarge instance for a week, I got so mad at myself I learnt swiftUI to build a native macOS console for most of the actions I do on the web AWS console. I didnt want to use electron or other non native frameworks. Most importantly I just wanted it to know how much a certain instance costs right now, no matter its state, its type, its lifecycle(like ondemand or spot) and the costs associated with the EBS volumes attached including their IOPS/throughput and etc. It also…

Interact with all your Apple apps and data via Claude Desktop – or your favorite MCP client. MCPs are super hot right now but they're definitely still developer-grade user experiences. We built iMCP because we wanted to see what it would take to start to build a more consumer friendly experience on top of MCP. Not just connecting IDEs to databases and SaaS APIs. iMCP is open source and built entirely in Swift with our MCP Swift implementation: https://github.com/loopwork-ai/mcp-swift-sdk Tell us what you think!
