What it does

Mirror detects background macOS apps that deliberately hide from Activity Monitor. It exposes stealth tools like Interview Coder, Cluely, Hiding AI, and similar apps designed to stay invisible giving you full visibility and control over what’s really running on your Mac.

Mirror is a simple macOS application designed to identify and terminate suspicious overlay applications that may be used for cheating, monitoring, or other malicious purposes. It scans active windows on your system and flags applications with suspicious characteristics like hidden layers, transparency, or missing window titles. git clone https://github.com/ajagatobby/mirrow cd mirrow Open the project in Xcode xcodebuild -project Mirror.xcodeproj -scheme Mirror -configuration Release Note : If you encounter code signing errors, see the Code Signing section below. open build/Release/Mirror.app 🔐 Code Signing When building from the command line, you may encounter code signing errors like:…from github.com

    I built a Windows tool to solve a problem I kept running into during live coding interviews and proctored assessments. I wanted to keep reference notes or personal apps open on my own screen without exposing them to the interviewer or screen-share software. Cloakly hides specific windows from the screen-share stream while keeping them fully visible locally. It works with Zoom, Teams, Meet, Loom, and most proctoring tools. Right now the core engine works, and I'm looking for beta testers to help with edge cases before the public release. Would love feedback from anyone who regularly…

  • Drive any macOS app in the background without stealing the cursorApr 2026 · github.com · ▲192

    Hi HN, Francesco from Cua here. I hacked this project together last weekend, inspired by the Codex Computer-Use release and lessons learned from deploying GUI-operating agents for our customers. The main problem: when a UI automation process controls a desktop app today, it usually takes over the human’s session. Your cursor moves, keyboard focus gets stolen, windows jump to the front, and you have to stop working until the agent is done. That is why we have historically avoided encouraging users to run these processes directly on their host machine, instead relying on VMs or GUI containers…

    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…
