What it does

Highlight text anywhere, press ⌘⇧Space, and run 185+ native macOS actions for writing, translation, developer tools, clipboard, files, windows, reminders, and AI. Slashbar works with Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Apple on-device models through the accounts you already use, so there are no API keys or extra AI subscriptions.

Copy anything, press ⌘⇧Space, type /. Slashbar runs 200+ actions on your Mac and talks to the AI you already pay for. No API keys. No new bill.

Copy anything, hit ⌘⇧Space , paste — the right action floats to the top. Format, transform, translate, move windows, drive your apps — and ask the AI you already pay for. JSON, JWT, Base64, URL, hex, hashes, case, line tools, extract emails & links. It reads what you paste and ranks the right tool first. Run a prompt on the selection — summarize, fix tone, explain code, translate — answered by your own AI, not ours. Halve, quarter, maximize, throw to the next display. The kind of thing you shouldn't need a second app for. Apps, files, browser history and bookmarks, a quick web search — without lifting your hands off the keys. Everything you copied, searchable. Pick an old snippet, transform…from slashbar.app

    Hey HN, I wanted to share a tool that I've been working on called RewriteBar. It's designed to help improve your writing without the need for context switching. With RewriteBar, you can simply select a sentence, choose an action from the menu bar, and watch as the text is transformed. It works seamlessly in any macOS application and is powered by OpenAI. Some of the key features of RewriteBar include: - Correcting grammar errors that even Grammarly may have missed. - Rewriting your text in a different style to give it a fresh perspective. - Translating sentences quickly without the hassle of…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
