What it does

Farewell is an offline encrypted vault for macOS designed for sensitive files. It combines 256-bit authenticated encryption, ML-DSA post-quantum integrity protection, Argon2id key hardening and optional hardware security keys. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry and no servers. Files stay on your Mac and remain protected by an architecture built for long-term security.

Farewell is an offline encrypted vault for Mac: 256-bit authenticated encryption, ML-DSA post-quantum integrity, hardware-key support, and vault files that reveal no readable metadata.

An offline vault for Apple Silicon Mac. Locked, it's indistinguishable from random data — no servers, no backdoor, no recovery. 256-bit authenticated encryption, with a post-quantum integrity stamp. Journalists, sources, lawyers, activists. For the people Farewell is built for, a leaked document or a seized laptop isn’t an inconvenience — it’s a catastrophe. Farewell protects content with 256-bit authenticated encryption. A post-quantum ML-DSA signature adds an integrity stamp, while Argon2id makes offline passphrase guessing expensive. A locked Farewell vault gives away as little as possible: apart from a random salt, the file is designed to look like random data without the passphrase. No…from farewell.pro

    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…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. 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). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • 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!
