01
VeloFiler is a keyboard-first, dual-pane file manager for macOS, built in Rust on GPUI for instant startup and smooth performance. Use Vim-style keys to navigate, preview images, code, Markdown, PDFs, videos, and Office docs without ever opening another app. You can even manage remote servers over SSH/SFTP right alongside your local files. Stop clicking through folders, and fly through them instead.
02
Port Radar is a native macOS menu bar app that shows you exactly what's using your ports, in plain English. See if Vite, Next.js, Docker, or some forgotten app is hogging resources, then stop it with one click. Apple Intelligence can answer "What is this? Is it safe to stop?" right on your device, so nothing leaves your Mac. You can also create Cloudflare tunnels with one click to share a local site as a live link. Take control of your ports without the confusion.
03
Zapier and Shortcuts force you to think like a programmer, with blocks, flows, and conditions. Trama removes that layer. Press Cmd+Option+X, describe the task you repeat in your own words, and it runs in the background. The difference is simple: it understands your language, not just English; it reaches native Mac features like AppleScript, shell, OCR, and screen awareness; it notices what you repeat and suggests automations; if something breaks, the AI explains the error and fixes it in one tap; and you can bring your own key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, or Groq.
