24 alternatives to Polarr webkit and webGL app on MAS
Hello HN, We pushed our new version of the Polarr Photo Editor today, this time for Mac OSX! (10.10+). the app is mostly WebGL in WKWebView with a native interface for RAW decoding, gestures, and file sharing. And because of these, we managed to pack everything down to a few MB. The app is currently featured as the best new app in Mac app store, and is $9.99 for a limited time (there is a free lite version with reduced feature). You can learn more about the app in here (sorry it's not yet mobile optimized) https://www.polarr.co/mac Would love to hear feedbacks and see what you…

Hi HN, author here. SHARP is Apple's recent single-image 3D Gaussian splatting model (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10685). Their reference code is PyTorch + a pretty heavy pipeline; I wanted to see if it could run in a browser with no server hop, so I exported the predictor to ONNX and ran it via onnxruntime-web with the WebGPU EP. What works: drop in an image, get a .ply you can download or preview live, all on your machine — your image never leaves the tab. The model is large (~2.4 GB sidecar) so first load is slow on a cold cache, but inference itself is a few seconds on…

Mou is a good option (free too) but still missing some features. So far this, this editor is the most complete user-friendly. Hope it helps!

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. This was just a fun little project I made. Currently, the website doesn't work on screens less than 1200x728 (Sorry mobile users!) It also might struggle on lower end devices. For best results, have a webcam pointing right at you. I tested my website with a MacBook camera.
