What it does

No more asking strangers if they can watch your stuff. Clyde is a menu bar app that lets you alarm your Mac when you go away to do something and if someone tries taking your laptop while you’re gone, it immediately gives you a call on your Apple Watch/Phone.

Clyde is easy to use and provides peace of mind when you use your laptop in public places. When someone tries to close your MacBook’s lid when Clyde is turned on, you will get a call on your Apple Watch/Phone. You can also choose to sound a loud alarm on your Mac in case that happens. To disarm the alarm, simply sign into your Mac and the alarm will turn off. With Clyde, you can rest assured that your laptop is safe and sound. Immediately get notified on your iPhone and Apple Watch when your laptop is infrom theclyde.app

It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

  • Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s.

Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
