What it does
A friendly SSH client for Mac. Connections, keys, files — all in one app. No subscriptions. No bloat.
A native SSH client for your Mac: connections, keys, files — all in one app. No subscriptions. No bloat. Just SSH, made friendly. Sshly is an MCP server: Claude Code, Codex & other AI tools work over your saved connections. You decide per server: approve every command, allow read-only diagnostics, or trust it outright — and no key or password ever leaves your Keychain. Group connections by project, environment, or client, and find any of them instantly with ⌘K . Import your SSH keys and let Sshly handle the rest. Passwords and key passphrases live in your macOS Keychain — never in plaintext, never on our servers. Move files between your Mac and any server without thinking. No separate SFTP…from sshly.app

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…
