BaudBuddy

What it does

A native macOS terminal for serial, Bluetooth LE, Telnet and RFC 2217 consoles — with a TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/SFTP server built in for firmware. Adapters by name, real break signals, byte-exact logs. No account, no analytics, no cloud.

The console toolkit for the kit that keeps everything running. A native macOS console toolkit for switches, routers, firewalls, PLCs, embedded boards and test gear. Talk to them over USB serial, Bluetooth LE or a network console server: then serve firmware and take configuration backups from the same Mac, over TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or SFTP. No account, analytics, telemetry, cloud or silent network traffic. BaudBuddy identifies serial hardware by name and by stable USB identity, keeps reusable connections within reach, and makes every active service visible. Every transport gets the controls it can honestly support. Serial sessions expose line settings and a real hardware break; Bluetooth…from iviu.ai

  ServerBuddy – GUI SSH client for managing Linux servers from macOS2025 · serverbuddy.app · ▲42

  Hi HN, I've built an app for macOS that allows performing common SSH operations on Linux servers using a native GUI. The problem: Managing multiple Linux servers usually means juggling terminal windows and copy-pasting snippets/scripts. After dealing with tens of production/staging VPSes at previous jobs, I realized there had to be a better way for common operations I did on a daily basis than my collection of bash snippets. Features: - Quickly switch between different servers. Tag servers with arbitrary key values for easy search. - Real-time dashboard with CPU/memory graphs,…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
