What it does
Constraint Engine gives you one creative rule and a timer — and won’t let you overthink it. Pick your craft. Get your constraint. Make the thing. Works across 10 crafts — Music, Writing, Filmmaking, Art, Photography, Cooking, Game Dev + more. Free tier: unlimited constraints forever. Pro: AI constraints by Claude, 10 genres, AI Chaos Chain. Built by a music producer who got tired of staring at blank projects.
Download Constraint Engine by Mark Barker on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips and more apps like Constraint Engine.

You can prompt something like “Build me a cool theme park” and it’ll build a cohesive theme park with multiple worlds and connected with paths and rides. The weird part is that I built it using the same ideas we use to make AI-generated websites follow a company’s design system. I work as an engineer at Magic Patterns, focused on building our Design System Agent, aimed to use your existing brand, components, and conventions instead of producing something that looks like generic AI-generated UI. By default,…
KastraJul 2026 · kastra.ai · ▲332Hi HN, Fernando and I built Kastra. Kastra intercepts AI agent tool calls and evaluates them against deterministic policies before they execute. We built this product to control pre- and post-inference workloads. This is aimed at developers using coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Kastra pushes an allow, hold, and deny decision before the action runs. You can build these policies in plain English from the web app. The interception engine evaluates the tools, targets, and parameters of every action at sub 1ms at a scale of billions of interceptions per day. We also…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
