What it does
Cocktails is a native macOS app for Homebrew that stays transparent: every install, upgrade or uninstall runs the real `brew` command and streams its output live. Browse installed formulae & casks, search, see what's outdated, and handle services, taps and maintenance — plus batch operations, an inline dependency tree, and a menu-bar agent that notifies you when updates land. Native, signed & notarized, multilingual (EN/FR/ES/DE), free.
Deux outils indépendants pour Homebrew sur macOS : Cocktails, une application graphique claire et transparente, et jigger, la complétion contextuelle de brew dans votre terminal.
Une application quand vous voulez voir, une commande quand vous voulez taper. Deux outils indépendants, qui pilotent votre installation brew existante sans jamais rien vous cacher. Vos paquets, leurs dépendances et vos mises à jour — vus d’un coup d’œil. Une app macOS native qui rend visible ce que la ligne de commande garde pour elle : ce qui est installé, ce qui en dépend, et ce qui va changer. Formulae et casks réunis, avec l’icône du projet, la description et les versions — une vue maître-détail où chaque paquet se lit d’un regard. Cocktails déplie l’arbre des dépendances transitives — pas seulement les dépendances directes. Vous savez exactement ce qui arrive sur votre Mac. Cochez…from cocktails.yg-devworks.com

Brewer X, a native macOS client for Homebrew2024 · panini.house · ▲40Hi HN! Like many of you, for my entire career I have relied on Homebrew to install all kinds of software on my Mac. That's why today I'm really excited to share a new app that my partner and I are building: Brewer X, a refreshing user interface for Homebrew. Brewer X is graphical interface that lives on top of Homebrew. Leveraging the power of native APIs improves the classic experience and unlocks new features. For example: • bulk actions are performed in parallel • syncing the entire library locally provides incredible search performances and the ability to query descriptions and other…

Talanoa▲345Hi 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▲655Hey 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…

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…
