thank you! really glad it fits your use case. car spotting sessions must generate a lot of burst shots.

good call on the animations, i'll look into adding some subtle scroll effects to the landing page.

let me know how it works on your library after you try it.

Hey HN,

My iPhone library grew to thousands of photos, and many of them were basically the same shot: multiple takes of the same pose, bursts, and old screenshots.

Most duplicate cleaners I tried only caught exact pixel duplicates, so I still had to scroll through everything myself.

SnapSift scans the library on-device, groups photos that look alike, and helps you keep one best shot from each group.

- Scans the whole library in under a minute

- Shows similar photos side by side

- Picks a likely “best” photo in each group

- Lets you delete the extras quickly

Everything runs locally using Apple’s Vision framework. Photos never leave the device, there is no server and no cloud.

You can scan for free and delete up to 25 photos per month on the free tier. Pro unlocks unlimited cleanup.

I would like to hear how well the grouping works on your library, and any cases where the “best pick” is clearly wrong.

I built this because I kept exceeding my mobile data cap when tethering.

The problem: macOS doesn't distinguish between home WiFi and iPhone hotspot. I'd finish a Zoom call thinking I was on home internet, only to discover I'd burned through 3GB of cellular data.

Existing options didn't fit:

- TripMode ($15/year) does app blocking - overkill for just monitoring

- Bandwidth+ is free but treats all WiFi the same

Technical approach:

- NWPathMonitor.isExpensive detects tethering vs regular WiFi

- CoreWLAN reads SSID for multi-hotspot profile support (requires Location permission on Sonoma+)

- Pure system frameworks, no external dependencies

Supports multiple profiles so you can track personal phone (15GB cap), work phone (unlimited), travel MiFi separately.

$4.99 one-time. macOS 14+.

Happy to answer questions about the implementation.

Disabling works! I've had some problems with macOS updates, so I'm cautious about turning it back on. That's why I created this app.

Current deal: 75% OFF all paid plans

Thank you for trying the tool and providing detailed feedback!

You're right on both counts - we should display all warnings and there seems to be a bug in the OG tag detection.

I'll fix the warning display and investigate why it's not correctly recognizing your existing og:title and og:description tags.

The feedback helps a lot in making the tool more accurate and useful. Thanks so much!!!

Just launched: Meta Tag Validator - A free tool for devs!

Check if your meta tags are working correctly across all platforms. No more broken social previews!

Creator here. I built this tool because I was tired of switching between different image editors or waiting for server processing when preparing images for social media.

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback! You make a fair point about the similarities.

I'll work on making the UI more unique and differentiated in the next iterations. Thanks for helping make the product better!

Thanks for bringing up imgsrc.io!

While there are similarities since we're both OG image generators, gleam.so focuses specifically on making it super easy for non-designers to create beautiful Open Graph images through templates. I have different goals and target users.

Always happy to learn about other tools in the space!

I'm glad to hear it's working properly now!

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Enjoy creating with our pro templates, and if you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for your feedback on griddd!

The features you mentioned are on my development roadmap.

I'm refining the pricing tiers, including the free plan, and your input on unlimited links is helpful.

I aim to provide great value while growing sustainably. Your insights are valuable for improving griddd.

You're right that the current features are similar to Bento.me.

However, I have plans to develop unique functionalities that will differentiate griddd in the future.

My goal is to evolve beyond the basic concept and create a more comprehensive platform.

Thank you for your feedback. I have double-checked and updated the link for the example.

The issue should be resolved now. Please let me know if you encounter any further problems.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I fully understand your frustration, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of clarity in the initial presentation.

Thanks for helping me improve griddd!

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback!

I'm always considering the pricing strategy and appreciate your suggestions. I'm also exploring tiered options to meet different needs.

As for branding, naming is difficult, but I'm trying to find a more memorable and user-friendly domain.

Your input is valuable as I continue to improve the service.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with email verification. I'm looking into this specific issue right now. Something went wrong with the magic link.
