Verity

What it does

Verity is a native macOS app that watches the places installers touch: shell startup files, SSH, LaunchAgents and executable folders. Every change comes with a severity score, the reasons behind it, the possible process chain, and an encrypted history you can bring back. Optional Protect asks before selected new or changed executables run: Block, Allow Once, or Always Trust. Local-first, no telemetry. macOS 15+, signed and notarized. 7-day free trial.

Verity watches sensitive files on your Mac, explains recorded changes, and keeps an encrypted history. Optional execution protection puts decisions in your hands.

An installer edits your shell startup. A new LaunchAgent appears. Verity watches the sensitive places, shows you the changes, and keeps an encrypted history you can return to. One line added. A directory was added to the shell’s search path. Review the change in context. Example data shown. Available details depend on the event and stored content. You don’t need another mysterious warning. You need to see what happened. Shell startup files, SSH configuration, LaunchAgents and Daemons, and executable directories. Keep changes to these locations in view. A timeline of recorded changes, available file diffs, and execution decisions. Mark incidents as reviewed, move to the next one, and undo…from getverity.app

  IndigoStack – a new native macOS app for local web development2022 · indigostack.app · ▲187

  Hi HN, I'm opening up the beta for IndigoStack. It's a native macOS app which provides a fresh take on how to run all the services you need for local web development. I've been building it for myself as a Laravel & Drupal developer and I'm now looking to get some beta testers on board! Check it out, and don't forget to sign up to the forums to give us your feedback! https://indigostack.app My motivation: Like many developers I've developed a love-hate relationship with the existing options for local development on a Mac. If they're virtualised, you'll often get... * high CPU usage…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
