What it does
Port Radar is a native macOS menu bar app that shows you exactly what’s running on your ports—in plain English. Spot Vite, Next.js, Docker, forgotten apps, and anything else quietly using resources, then stop it with a single click. Apple Intelligence answers "what is this, is it safe to stop?" right on your device, so nothing leaves your Mac. Plus one click Cloudflare tunnels to share a local site as a live link.
Port Radar finds every localhost process in your menu bar — then Apple Intelligence explains what it is. One-click Cloudflare tunnels give you a live public URL for any local app. On-device. Private. Free and open source.
Mystery ports. Forgotten Vite servers. Random node eating CPU. Port Radar finds everything listening — then Apple Intelligence tells you what it is, why it's there, and if it's safe to stop. On-device. Nothing leaves your Mac. Pick any process. Apple Intelligence reads the command, project, and context — then tells you what it is, why it's running, and whether you should stop it. On-device. Private. No cloud. This is a Vite dev server for checkout-web on port 5173. It's been up 2h 14m. Safe to stop — it's just a local frontend. Restart with npm run dev . Shipping a preview to a teammate or client? Hit Share. Port Radar spins up a Cloudflare tunnel and hands you a public URL for your local…from portradar.devmesh.xyz

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…
