01
For 30 years, websites dictated how you interact with them. Now you're in charge. With the Sider Chrome extension, you can tell Sider Code exactly how a site you use should behave. It analyzes the page, writes the necessary code, and applies the change instantly. You can save your customizations and control when they're active. Take back control of your browsing experience.
02
Thousand is a documentation platform that brings real access control to git-backed docs. You get a single markdown repository where you can set folder-level permissions. That means teammates, outside collaborators, and even AI agents each see exactly the folders they're supposed to see, nothing more. It's like having the power of git for versioning and collaboration, but with the security you need to share docs selectively. No more copying documents to different places or worrying about someone seeing something they shouldn't. Everything stays in one place, but everyone sees their own view. It's simple, secure, and built for modern teams that need both flexibility and control.
03
Notchling is a delightful little creature that lives right in your MacBook's notch. It keeps an eye on your cursor, nods off when you're idle, and reacts to your battery level. Drag a file toward it, and it'll open its mouth and carry the file for you. It's completely free, takes up less than a megabyte, and all processing stays on your Mac, so your data never leaves your device.
04
ABrush brings the latest AI models and production-ready advanced workflows right into the tools where artists already work. We use AI to take over repetitive production tasks, speed up iteration, and free up more time for creative decisions. The artist stays in full control of the final result. AI accelerates the process and cuts the cost of routine work. Created by artists, for artists, so it actually fits the way you create.
05
KiwiDesk is a tiling window manager for macOS that keeps your Mac calm and organized. Every window finds its place in one of seven layouts, apps open with a shortcut, and mouse users get a Space Bar they can drag windows onto. It works with your native macOS Desktops. You can bind a profile to each desktop and it loads the moment you swipe there, bringing its own spaces, layouts, colors, and shortcuts. Everything is set in a native Settings app, so you don't need a config file. It's free to use, and the source is on GitHub.
06
ChatHop lets you move an AI conversation to another assistant mid-thought, with the full context included. You can copy the whole chat as plain text or Markdown, then pick up exactly where you left off in a different tool. It starts with 20 free uses every month, so you can try the workflow without committing.
07
Clipwise saves any web page to your Notion databases, and it grabs the whole article, not just a snippet. You don't need an account, a login, or to deal with a paywall. Before saving, you can fill in your database properties, and it remembers your last one so the next save is faster. Everything stays on your computer, so your data is safe and local.
09
Hemory is a combination of Hear and Memory, and that is exactly what it does. It is not just another meeting transcription tool. Hemory listens using the phone or Apple Watch you already have, then keeps every conversation as a searchable memory. Your day is automatically split into moments with speaker labels, so you can quickly find who said what. Everything stays private and searchable. You can connect Hemory to Claude, Codex, Cursor, or any other agent through MCP. That gives your AI real context to revisit what you heard and build on it.
10
Type is a shared workspace that compounds your team's best AI work. Connect your tools once, use whatever model fits the task, and keep skills, files, and threads in one place that everyone can see. Build custom apps and automations on top of a company brain that gets smarter as you work. Instead of losing useful context in scattered chat threads, your team keeps building on the knowledge it already has.
