ImageFuel

What it does

ImageFuel is a fast, dark native Mac app for browsing images and videos directly from your folders. Search, filter, sort, open a fullscreen lightbox, crop, strip metadata, and move files to the trash without leaving the app. No imports. No library. No cloud. No subscriptions. Your files stay exactly where they are.

ImageFuel is a fast, no-nonsense Mac app for browsing large collections of images and videos.

If you work with a lot of media, you already know the problem. Files live in scattered folders. Finder’s grid is slow and cramped. Preview only opens one file at a time. Reviewing a shoot, asset set, or project folder turns into constant switching and waiting. Point the app at any folder or multiple folders and instantly see every image and video in a clean, scrollable grid. No importing. No library to manage. No waiting. It reads the files where they already live, including JPEG, PNG, video, and RAW. We wanted a media browser that felt fast and stayed out of the way. No subscriptions. No cloud. No extra access. ImageFuel reads the folders you already have and that is it. The interface is…from simplifiedapps.net

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey 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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
