What it does

Type a trigger. Watch it expand. A native macOS app that turns short keywords into full text, emoji, dates, and scripts — everywhere on your Mac.

Gloss expands your shortcuts into text, emoji, dates, and scripts — everywhere on your Mac.

A native macOS app that turns short keywords into full text, emoji, dates, and scripts — everywhere on your Mac. Create a short trigger and map it to any expansion: plain text, emoji, dates, or a JavaScript snippet. Type your trigger anywhere on your Mac. Gloss watches keystrokes system-wide, app by app. Your trigger vanishes and the full text appears in its place. No copy-paste, no switching apps. Try Gloss with 10 free glosses, no time limit. Upgrade once for lifetime access with lifetimefrom trygloss.tech

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481
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!

Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181
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!
