News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Sorry Just see you shared this the other day! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the feedback. The new version is being notarised now.
Hmmm. What version are you running?
I used to use Bartender, which worked really well, until the newest version, which had so many issues. Since then, I've just basically put up with it.
Thanks, Glad you like it!
Thanks, appreciate it. Honestly, I am only really on X at the moment.
That is exactly what I did. Claude scaffolded it from scratch based on behaviour, then I iterated and had Codex review it for safety.
The app only reads ONE specific keychain entry:

  Service: "Claude Code-credentials"

  This is the entry created by the official Claude Code CLI when you log in. The app:

  1. Only reads - never writes, modifies, or deletes any keychain data
  2. Only accesses this one service name - cannot read any other passwords, keys, or credentials
  3. Extracts only the OAuth access token - used to call api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage
  4. Sends data only to Anthropic's API - no analytics, no third-party servers

  The token never leaves your machine except to Anthropic's own API endpoint. You can verify this yourself - the entire source is ~400 lines of Swift: https://github.com/richhickson/claudecodeusage

  macOS will also prompt you the first time the app tries to access this keychain entry, giving you control to allow or deny.
Good shout. CodexBar covers a lot more ground. This one is intentionally minimal and Claude focused because that is all I personally needed.

https://emailbuilder.cc/

Hi HN,I built a small email template builder after getting frustrated with ESP editors and bloated exports.It is a single HTML file. No build step, no backend, no dependencies. You open it in a browser and it works offline.The editor is block based and outputs clean, table based HTML with inline styles. The goal was not to reinvent Mailchimp, but to generate markup you can actually understand,...

Show HN: CalmTab a clean Firefox start page with container based Workspaces

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/calmtab/

Hi HN. I built a new Firefox homepage extension called CalmTab and would love some feedback. I work across multiple clients and found my cookies constantly clashing, so I built a homepage that includes a feature called Workspaces which opens grouped tabs in separate containers with one click. It also includes world clocks, sticky notes, daily quotes, and a simple layout.This is my first time...

FFS. Me to.
Maker here — happy to answer any questions.

The goal with HostFileApp was to make /etc/hosts management easier, safer and less error-prone for devs and sysadmins, without relying on Terminal.

Show HN: HostFileApp – Edit your Mac's hosts file without using the Terminal

https://hostfileapp.com/

Hi HN,I built a small macOS utility called HostFileApp that lets you manage your /etc/hosts file with a simple visual interface — no Terminal required.I’ve always found editing the hosts file manually a bit risky and inconvenient (especially when switching between dev and production environments), so I wanted something that felt native to macOS and handled the details safely.What it does: •...
