Change your iPhone’s location — no jailbreak required. No third-party VPN app, no computer. Verified on stock iOS through 26.5.2. Restore controls stay available. For devices you own or are authorized to test.
Authorized iPhone location testing for QA teams, developers, researchers, and authorized testers. WLOC sets a chosen test coordinate on a device you own or are
WLOC sets a chosen test coordinate on an iPhone its owner or an authorized tester controls, checks that the setup works, and confirms the result on the device. Submitting Restore afterwards is not proof the iPhone or the target app is already back to ordinary location behavior. Built for QA teams, developers, researchers, and authorized testers. Get WLOC from the App Store. Install the one-time configuration profile the app sets up; you can remove it in Settings. Then control the test from any browser. Then confirm Tokyo Tower on the iPhone — a public place, so you know the path works. Custom places come after. On iOS 27 beta 6 and later, product testing has observed a certificate…from wloc.app

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

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. 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…
