I launched a super cheap and simple to use OCR tool for macOS▲24
1. Click capture text 2. Select an area on screen with text 3. Paste the text anywhere Are there other solutions out there? Yes, the best one that I've found is Text Sniper, it $8 so I decided to learn SwiftUI and release Text Capture for $0.99. This one uses MacOS builtin Vision API under the hood so it should also improve with new macOS releases. Would love to hear your feedback!

Webcam Plus – Use your iPhone as a webcam for your Mac (Free app)▲8
Hello, I want to show an app that I have been working on as a hobby project. It has been in beta testing since December, but now it is finally released. This may not be the most original idea ever, but it is completely free to use, so I hope some of you will find it useful! - Supports Full HD 1080p, 720p and 480p - Up to 30 FPS - Stream via USB My goal has been to keep it very minimalistic and easy-to-use. I also want to mention right away that it installs as a DAL Plugin on your mac, meaning that it will only work on apps that allows third party plugins. More info on my webpage:…

I made a free web alternative of Screen Studio▲34
Hello HN, I've always found Screen Studio recordings superb. Unfortunately I'm not on a Mac, so I've developed my own tool that works in the browser for all OS. I hope you'll find it useful, and I'd be delighted to hear your feedback.

Debut – A $25 Screen Studio alternative for macOS▲7
Hey, I built Debut because I wanted Screen Studio's polish without the price tag. It does smooth cursor animations, automatic zoom effects, and clean exports: basically the stuff that makes screen recordings look professional without hours in a video editor. $25 lifetime for personal use, works on 2 devices. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's tried Screen Studio or other recording tools and found them lacking.
