Simera

What it does

Simera is a focused macOS menu bar utility that brings your Mac’s live camera into iOS Simulator apps. Enable it with one click, then test photo and video capture using the camera code you already have. It supports AVFoundation, UIImagePickerController, and common Flutter camera and image picker integrations. No SDK or project changes required. Includes a 7-day trial, a $5.99 lifetime license, and 10 free lifetime licenses for early Product Hunt testers.

Use your Mac camera inside iOS Simulator apps. Test native and Flutter camera flows without a physical device.

Simera brings your Mac camera to iOS Simulator apps, so you can build and test camera experiences without reaching for a physical device. Watch the live Mac camera feed appear in native iOS and Flutter Simulator apps. Camera testing should feel like part of development, not a reason to break away from it. Stream your built-in or connected camera straight into an iOS Simulator app with a single switch. Exercise photo and video experiences in the Simulator instead of rebuilding your workflow around sample files. Simera works at the Simulator camera boundary, so your production camera code stays production-ready. Simera lives quietly in your menu bar and connects to the Simulator you are…from simera.pages.dev

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey 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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
