A native macOS serial terminal with a file server built in

Visit iviu.aiAlternativestop 2% of August 2026

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.

BaudBuddy is a native macOS serial terminal, console-server client, file-transfer tool, and TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and SFTP file server for network and embedded work.

Talk to switches, routers, firewalls, PLCs, embedded boards, radios and test gear over USB serial, Bluetooth LE or a network console server. Then put firmware and configurations within reach, straight from the same Mac. BaudBuddy identifies serial hardware by name and 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 real hardware break; Bluetooth does not pretend to have baud or parity; RFC 2217 can control the port at the far end. Hot-plug detection, stable hardware identity, custom baud rates, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control,…from iviu.ai

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
