What it does
RemoteBar puts every Apple TV, HomePod and Sonos player on your network into one menu-bar list. Pure Swift — it speaks Companion, AirPlay/MRP and Sonos UPnP directly, no Python bridge. Plus an MCP server and 16 App Intents, so Claude, Siri and Shortcuts can drive it.
A macOS menu-bar remote for Apple TV, HomePod and Sonos. Control every room from the Mac you
Your Mac is already open. Your remote is somewhere else. RemoteBar puts every Apple TV, HomePod and Sonos in your menu bar — playback, volume, the full clickpad, and your actual keyboard for search. No app to launch, no phone to hunt for. One click from whatever you're already doing. Apple TVs, HomePods and Sonos together — a grouped pair shown as one room — and every row is a volume slider. The full clickpad, Back, Screen, play, pause and volume. Your arrow keys and Return drive it too. Search boxes on the TV take your Mac keyboard, so you stop spelling things out one arrow key at a time. Open a speaker and you get transport, artwork and a live scrubber — not just a volume slider.

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…
