86 free tools for images, PDFs, text, code and more — compress, convert, encrypt, generate QR codes and beyond. Unlike the big sites, Privatools never uploads your files to a server — everything runs 100% inside your browser . No sign-up, no limits, no watermarks. The popular tools upload your private photos and documents to their servers. We don't — and never will. Files are processed in your browser using your device's own power. Nothing is sent to a server, so nothing can leak. No upload wait, no download wait. Once the page loads you can even disconnect from the internet. Process as many files as you like, as large as your device allows. We never stamp a logo on your work. Drag & drop,…from privatools.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!
