1Setter
Hi HN, I’m an indie developer and I recently built 1Setter, a macOS menu bar app that lets you quickly access and apply common system settings with a single click. It supports individual actions as well as grouped actions, so you can trigger multiple settings in one step if needed. The motivation came from the friction of scattered macOS settings: some are buried in System Settings, some require multiple steps, and existing menu bar tools often felt too limited or opinionated. I wanted something lightweight, predictable, and fast. Under the hood, the app uses official system frameworks where…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped!
