What it does

Stop "finger gymnastics" with complex shortcuts! HyperCaps turns your wasted CapsLock key into a macOS productivity superpower. 🪄 Core Features: ✨ Hyper Key: Hold CapsLock to trigger Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift. 🚀 Vim Mode: Navigate using H/J/K/L without leaving the home row. 🧠 Smart Tap: Tap for Escape or CapsLock. Native, lightweight (SwiftUI), and privacy-first (zero logging). 🎁 PH Community: Use code PHLAUNCH20 for 20% off lifetime access!

Turn Caps Lock into a Hyper Key on Mac, solve shortcut conflicts, and add Escape, Delete, and Windows-style Backspace actions. Lightweight menu bar app with a 14-day free trial.

Solve shortcut conflicts, add Escape/Delete actions, and create a faster keyboard workflow without Karabiner complexity. Awaken your unused Caps Lock key and build your ultimate personalized Mac workflow. You learned shortcuts to boost your productivity, but are they causing you more stress instead? You want to register a new shortcut, but all the easy-to-reach key combinations are already taken by other functions. Pressing 3 or more modifier keys at once like ⌘ + ⌥ + ⇧ + ⌃ is physically demanding and prone to mistakes during context switching. The same shortcut triggers completely different actions in your code editor and browser, leading to constant frustration and mistakes. Lacking…from hypercaps.auramark-studio.com

    Hey HN, you may have seen me post about Lock In recently—it's a minimalist task management HUD that sits silently on your desktop. It gained some traction for its Mac version, and as of today, it's finally available for Windows. The idea remains the same: productivity apps are often click-heavy databases that feel like administrative work. Lock In is designed as an "execution engine"—a small, transparent window that forces you to focus on doing. It works entirely via slash commands. E.g., /d 100 pushups, /lockin 1h. What's new in this release: Windows Support: Fully native builds…

    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…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
