What it does
MacDupl clones the Mac apps you already use into fully isolated instances — separate logins, separate data, separate Dock icons. Work and personal, side by side.
Clone any Mac app into isolated instances with their own logins and Dock icons. Instant, private, nearly free on disk.
MacDupl clones the desktop apps you already use into fully isolated instances — separate logins, separate data, separate Dock icons. Work and personal, side by side. No more logging out. Each clone is a genuine macOS app with its own identity — the original stays untouched and independently launchable. The numbers: No configuration files, no command line, no browser profiles. MacDupl scans your Applications folder and shows everything it can clone, classified automatically. “Work”, “Personal”, “Client X” — choose one of nine icon tints so the Dock never gets confusing. About two seconds later there’s a new app in your Dock with its own login, ready to sign in to your second account. MacDupl…from macdupl.app

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…

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…
