Crew

What it does

Crew gives every Claude Code chat and subagent a body: a little pixel monster that walks along the bottom of your screen, digs while it works, sleeps when it's idle, and waves when it's done. Free for macOS. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.

Crew puts a little pixel creature on your screen for every Claude Code chat and subagent. Free, with a $12 one-time Pro upgrade.

One little creature per Claude Code chat and subagent, wandering along the bottom of your screen. A glance tells you what your agents are up to. Running five chats at once is easy. Knowing which one is waiting on you still means alt-tabbing to find out . Crew watches through hook scripts, so anything that speaks the same lifecycle gets a creature. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and Cursor sessions stand side by side on the same row — the species comes from the repo, not the tool. A subagent always gets the same species, so you learn to read the row. Every chat hashes into one of the ten and keeps it — for that repo, on any machine. The other seven are not in the hash at all: one repo in…from crew-deskmates.vercel.app

  Talanoa▲341

  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…
