What it does
Peek helps Mac users switch between apps and windows without opening a heavy workspace tool. The core switcher is free, with Pro for unlimited favorites, hidden apps, layout control, and direct license activation.
Peek is a focused macOS menu bar app for faster app and window switching. Download the free Mac app, then unlock Peek Pro for unlimited favorites, hidden apps, layout controls, and direct license activation.
Search running apps, jump to the right window, keep favorites close, and hide the noise. Download the free Mac app first; upgrade only if Peek becomes part of your daily switching flow. Peek is not a big launcher trying to take over the Mac. It is a small switching layer for the apps and windows already open. Open Peek, type a few letters, and jump without digging through the Dock or Mission Control. Use window-aware switching when you need the exact project, browser, or document. Pin the apps you reach for constantly and hide utilities that should not steal attention. Use Pro controls to make the panel match your own switching rhythm. Peek lives in the menu bar, opens quickly, and stays…from paran.app

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
