Packara – Native macOS GUI for signing, notarizing, and stapling DMGs▲5
I kept copying the same shell script between projects every time I needed to ship a Mac app. It wrapped codesign, hdiutil, notarytool, and stapler into one flow. Eventually I turned it into a proper app. Packara runs the full pipeline in sequence with live log output at every stage. Notarization credentials stay in Keychain and are never passed as CLI arguments. There's a 7-day trial, $9.99 one-time after that. Site: https://packara.techfixpro.net

Hey there! I just released the first version of a project I’ve been working on solves a very specific problem that perhaps only I have. I welcome any and all feedback, even if you just want to drop in to say that this is a hot piece of garbage!

DevUtils.app – Developer Utilities for macOS▲241
This is a project I've been working on since the start of Covid-19. I built an app so that I don't have to put data into online tools like JWT debugger, JSON formatter, URL decoder, etc... https://devutils.app The app works entirely offline and is open-source. I'm selling the pre-built version of the app to earn some revenue for my time. If you want to try the app but can't afford the price or don't have XCode to build the app, drop me an email (my profile), I'll be happy to provide you a free build. I would love to hear all the feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

macOS GUI for running LLMs locally▲58
Hello HN, I've been working on this project for a while, and it has been in an "open" beta for some time. I finally believe it's ready for its first release. I hope you like it. Here are some potential questions that may arise: 1. How does it compare to LM Studio? It's likely that if you're already using LM Studio, you'll continue to do so. This project is designed to be more user-friendly. 2. Is it open-source? No, it is not. 3. Does it use any open-source libraries? Yes, it uses llama.cpp and a few others, as indicated in the license information included with the application. 4. Why is not…
