Get alerted the instant any app uses your camera or microphone — even in the background . You talk about something… then you see the ad. Usually that's just data tracking — but some apps really do reach for your mic and camera in the background. Spytrap turns on the light, and tells you the second it happens. The instant an app reaches for your mic or camera, you get an alert — even on the lock screen. A weekly rundown of the apps reaching for your sensors, ranked by how suspicious they look. A trust score for every app — revoke, uninstall or trust in one tap. There's no server to hack, because nothing is ever sent to one.

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.

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.

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.
