What it does
Your camera is only as good as your light, and most rooms don't have it. Apple's screen "edge light" only works in video calls. Ring Light for Mac works in every app (Zoom, Meet, Teams, WhatsApp), on any Mac. It turns your screen into a bright, soft ring of light around your video, so your face is lit, not lost in the dark. Fully customizable: brightness, warm-to-cool color, size, and shape, all a click away. One click on. Free, pay what you want.

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!
