EyesOff
I built EyesOff after getting fed up with people glancing at my screen in coffee shops. I trained a, custom and small, neural network to detect when people look at your screen. Whenever more faces than your allowed threshold are looking at your screen an alert will show. The model being ran locally ensures all data stays on your device - no cloud processing. I would love feedback on the application and any features you think I should implement!
EyesOff launched on April 21, 2025 with 184 votes, #204 of 7,818 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
EyesOff is a privacy focused macOS app which makes use of a locally running neural network (YuNet), to notify you if other people are looking at your screen. YuNet runs fully on-device with no data leaving your computer.
Shoulder-surfing detection software for Mac and Windows that uses the webcam to alert you when another person appears to be looking at your screen.
EyesOff samples frames from your webcam, detects visible faces, and classifies whether a face appears to be looking at the screen. It then uses your chosen alert, overlay, application switch, or lock response. EyesOff is for people using laptops in cafés, trains, libraries, shared offices, and other places where someone can enter the webcam’s view. The risk is often called shoulder surfing or visual hacking. A single-device test on an M2 MacBook Air measured about 2.9% battery use per hour after optimisation. Results vary by device, webcam, settings, and workload. Read the test methodology and limitations . Camera access is required for detection. Automation and Accessibility…from eyesoff.app

LookAway 2Apr 2026 · lookaway.com · ▲281Hello, I'm Kushagra and I am the indie developer behind LookAway (I've posted about it earlier but it has received quite a lot of updates since the last time so I am posting it again). LookAway is a native break reminder for macOS that doesn't interrupt. I built it because I work from home and I spend a lot of time in front of my screens. It's very easy for me to get lost in the flow and I can end up sitting for hours. Due to this, I started facing issues like eye strain and back pain by the end of the day. The solution to this was simply taking enough breaks throughout the day. But…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
