What it does
You start something long — an agent working through a task, a build, a render — and then you cannot leave the desk. Lock the Mac and the screen goes with it: Chrome marks every tab hidden, so work that depends on a page still rendering slows or stops. Leave it unlocked and the room reads your work. Cuukit covers every display behind a 4-digit PIN instead. What was running underneath carries on, the Mac stays awake, and only the PIN gets through. Free, Apple silicon, no account, no network.
Cuukit makes two macOS apps for agent-driven work: Lonca carries a Jira issue to a merge-ready pull request, Screen Lid covers the screen while it runs.
Lonca takes a Jira issue to a pull request, so your time goes to what the product needs next. Screen Lid covers the screen and keeps the Mac awake while the agents work. Choose what comes next. Lonca sets up the work, runs your agents and checks the result against what the issue asks for. You think about the product; the agents write the code. One click and the screen is covered. Your work keeps running underneath. Four digits and you are back. Each app works on its own. Together: choose what comes next, cover the screen, come back to the result. Pick the issue that matters most. Lonca plans it, builds it, tests it and reviews it, and comes to you only as often as you chose. The agents keep…from cuukit.com

Drive any macOS app in the background without stealing the cursorApr 2026 · github.com · ▲192Hi HN, Francesco from Cua here. I hacked this project together last weekend, inspired by the Codex Computer-Use release and lessons learned from deploying GUI-operating agents for our customers. The main problem: when a UI automation process controls a desktop app today, it usually takes over the human’s session. Your cursor moves, keyboard focus gets stolen, windows jump to the front, and you have to stop working until the agent is done. That is why we have historically avoided encouraging users to run these processes directly on their host machine, instead relying on VMs or GUI containers…

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…
