Please roast my macOS app to run AI locally
Hi everyone,Over the past months, I've been quietly working on an experiment that brings AI capabilities directly to your desktop. The idea was to build a tool that runs entirely on your macOS or Windows system, prioritizing data privacy by keeping all processing local.What It Does:Local AI Processing: No cloud reliance - your data stays with you.Multi-Model Support: Integrates several popular AI models to offer diverse functionality.Offline Capability: Designed to be useful even without an internet connection.Multilingual Interface: in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.I’m sharing this here not as a formal launch, but as a way to gather honest opinions and insights from this community. If anyone is interested in taking a look or offering feedback, it would be incredibly valuable for refining the tool further.You can check out more details on my Product Hunt post here if you’re curious, but please feel free to ask questions or share any thoughts directly here.Thanks in advance for your time and feedback!

Looking for Mac alternative for ahk.
As a music producer using Ableton on Windows, I've optimized my workflow with a Logitech G502 gaming mouse and AHK scripts, enabling 60+ custom shortcuts and navigation commands tailored for Ableton. I'm planning to switch to a MacBook Pro, but I'm concerned about losing this critical workflow component.Is there an equivalent solution on Mac that would allow me to replicate my custom mouse shortcuts and navigation commands in Ableton? I've invested significant time in setting up my AHK scripts, and I'd like to find a similar solution on Mac to maintain my productivity.Some possible solutions I've considered are:KarabinerKeyboard MaestroBetterTouchToolOther third-party apps or software?Here are a few examples of hot keys I use Pushing the 5 key does three commands in a row combine, consolidate, and group. Double-clicking the 5 key ungroups. clicking middle scroll wheel once it activates/deactivated the midi pen if you double-clicking it reverse audio Clicking 1 one time will play audio Double-Clicking 1 will play audio from a marker Holding 1 will do a play follow Clicking 5 and 8 with do a selective group of midi up an octave Clicking 5 and 7 with do a selective group of midi down an octave I show these example because I need something that can go that deep. Has anyone successfully replicated a similar setup on Mac, and if so, what solutions did you use?

“Glue” two windows together?
Is there an app that would allow me to “glue” together two non-fullscreen windows? By that I mean snapping a window to another window’s edge, and then being able to drag them around as one. Thanks!

App for chatting with audio files
I have about 400 audio files from meetings at work.Is there any application in which I can upload those files and then start making questions and chatting (like chatgpt)? For me those audio files are like a big library of knowledge. Does anybody know any app to achieve this?

Seeking open source app to create scheduled tasks on MacOS?
Aside from using the built-in launchd service in MacOS, are there any really simple Mac Apps that I can use to schedule periodic automation scripts? I just need to run some basic tasks every few days, like:Homebrew package upgradesPull the latest Docker image versionsPrune old Docker image versions, to free up disk spaceetc. etc.I don't have access to the MacOS App Store on my work computer, so please only suggest apps that I can install with Homebrew, or otherwise download the package file from GitHub, et al.

Reset a macOS App Confirmation Dialogues
I use a DVD collection catalogue program. At some point, I must have ticked the "Do not show this warning again" when I went to delete an entry. Now of course I get no deletion warnings.https://preview.redd.it/k4ks77gvdsme1.png?width=545&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6b59ce2518de13a220e13bfebc177a5c412c26cHow do I reset this dialogue box back to default ? There is no reset within the program's Settings.I have a faint suspicion it may be stored in the program's ~/Library/Preferences/com.bruji.dvdpedia.plistThank you

Mac/Windows Text Expander?
Are there any good text expander apps that work well cross-platform? Ideally I’d like to just have one program that works with both platforms so I don’t have to set it all up multiple times. Thanks in advance!
