What it does
Tusk is a Mac backup app for photographers and video editors with footage spread across many drives. Unlike cloning or sync tools, it tracks every file by checksum across all your destinations and can tell you what's on a drive sitting on your shelf. Plug in an SD card and it fans out to every drive and cloud at once. Free up your Mac once every backup holds a verified copy. Drive dies? One-click restore from the best copy. $49 lifetime at launch (later $79). 14-day free trial, no credit card.
A macOS backup app for video creators, photographers, and developers. Per-file backup status across every destination — even when drives are unplugged.
Tusk backs up your footage to drives and cloud, verifies every copy, and remembers where each file lives. Even when the drive is unplugged. Tusk watches your project folder, copies every new file to your destinations, and helps you clear local copies without losing track of anything. Eject the drive whenever. You still know where every file lives. Point Tusk at a drive you already filled. It fingerprints every file and builds a project without moving or recopying anything. Then it finds the copies scattered across your Mac and gathers them into one project folder, freeing the space the duplicates took. Pick the drive with your project folders. Click one to scan it. Tusk runs on your Mac and…from tuskbackup.com

MultiDriveDec 2025 · multidrive.io · ▲467Hey HN! I'm the CTO at Atola Technology, and we have launched MultiDrive: a free disk backup/clone/wipe tool that does things differently. After 17 years of work with drives, I got tired of seeing simple disk operations locked behind paywalls. Macrium killed their free version, EaseUS hides cloning in paid tiers, and so on and so forth. Another reason is that all the existing solutions are overly complicated. It must be simple enough for my mum to start erasing a USB stick or making a full drive backup. All in all, we thought the community deserved better. What makes MultiDrive…

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.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! 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…
