TetherShot
Pixel-perfect iPhone screenshots, straight to your Mac
What it does
TetherShot turns iPhone screenshot capture into one Mac keystroke. It grabs the actual device frame over USB or local Wi-Fi, saves a pixel-perfect PNG to your chosen folder, and copies it to the clipboard. Use the native app, optional menu-bar controls, or ⌘⇧7 from anywhere. Unlike mirroring-and-cropping workflows, it captures the frame directly and keeps everything local. No account, telemetry, cloud upload, or servers. Free, MIT-licensed, and built in Swift for macOS.
TetherShot is a native macOS app for pixel-perfect iPhone screenshots over USB or Wi-Fi. Save locally, copy instantly, and capture from anywhere.
Pull the actual iPhone frame over USB or local Wi-Fi, then save it to your folder and clipboard—without a cloud relay. A focused native Mac app with an optional menu-bar controller. Close the window and capture keeps running quietly. Open TetherShot from Applications to manage devices, capture behavior, launch settings, updates, and support links in one clear window. One Homebrew command installs the signed native app in /Applications . Plug in and tap Trust, or set up Wi-Fi once for cable-free captures. Click the menu-bar icon or hit the hotkey. Saved to your folder, copied to clipboard. Use Homebrew for a verified package-managed install, choose the signed universal DMG for drag-and-drop,…from tethershot.apoorvdarshan.com

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
