Klyn — free your Mac, safely

What it does

A free native macOS storage cleaner. Klyn labels every file safe, review, or protected, shows you the list first, and only ever moves things to the Trash.

Your Mac fills up with things you never chose to keep. Xcode leaves build folders behind, npm keeps every package you have ever installed, browsers cache years of sites. Klyn finds all of it, labels what is actually safe to delete, and shows you the exact list before it moves a single file. Start narrow or go wide. Every scan ends the same way — a list you can read. Caches, logs, downloads, and the common safe clutter. The one to run first. Scans the whole drive. Slower, but it finds the big picture. Point it at one project, Downloads, Desktop, or anywhere else. Every item gets one of three labels, and Klyn tells you why. No “optimizing…” spinner that never says what it did. Rebuildable. A…from xermio.com

  Hey HN Ex YC/Google engineer turned indie maker here - excited to share something I just shipped. The System Data in my Mac was taking up 300GB and it took me months to figure out how to clear the old cache, logs, junk and more. And CleanMyMac is a subscription - I refuse to pay subscription fees for Mac apps that run locally. So I built FreeUpMyMac an offline, lifetime Mac cleaner that clear junk with 1 click. And helps you visualize your storage with TreeMap/Sunburst. Hope it’s helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback Tunde

  Talanoa▲346

  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…

  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…
