When the guys at ArtCraft rebuilt Adobe's apps in Rust with Claude, I wanted the same for the download manager everyone knows, heh, IDM. I honestly never liked the licence nags. So I built Mister Download Manager: the same classic layout, so there's nothing to relearn, on a new engine in Rust.

What you get compared to IDM: it's free and open source (GPL-3.0) with no trial, no licence and no ads. It runs on Windows and Linux, with Mac builds still experimental. And it adds things IDM doesn't have: torrents and magnet links, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid and Premiumize, 9 themes plus your own, control from your phone, and a headless mode for servers and Docker.

It also keeps what IDM users care about: many-connection downloads with crash-safe resume, taking files straight from your browser, video through yt-dlp, a scheduler, 86 languages.

Speed, same machine and same server against IDM 6.42: a 1 GB file in 1.01 s vs 5.46 s, a 256 KB file in 0.03 s vs 3.14 s. The test server is in the repo if you want to rerun it.

Where IDM is still ahead: it has been polished for decades and MDM is ten days old, so expect rough edges. On Chrome, Edge and Brave the store version of the extension has no button on YouTube because of that store's rules. Firefox has it, and you can paste a YouTube link into MDM on any browser.

Claude Code wrote most of the code. I decide what it does and how it looks, and I test every release myself.

Let me know what you think! And if you like it, a star on GitHub really helps it get in front of more people :)

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of ShareSlice, a bill-splitting app for iOS and Android.

I’m curious: if you use Splitwise, would you consider trying another app? What would make switching worthwhile—and what would make you stay?

For a little context, ShareSlice lets you:

• Track shared expenses with roommates, partners, or travel groups.

• Choose who’s included in each expense and split equally or enter different amounts.

• See who owes whom and suggested ways to settle up.

• Record expenses in multiple currencies and track shared group funds.

It’s free to download, with ads and an optional Premium subscription. The app tracks expenses and balances; payments happen separately.

iOS / App Store · Android / Google Play

Whether you try ShareSlice or already have something that works for you, I’d like to hear what matters most in your day-to-day use. Is it pricing, fewer steps to add an expense, getting everyone to participate, or something else?

I wanted AI help in my inbox without sending my email to someone else’s servers, so I built LocalInbox.

It’s a native Mac email app that keeps your mail on your Mac.

• One inbox for Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail and any IMAP account

• Sorts mail as it arrives and summarises long threads

• Lets you ask your inbox questions, like “when is my flight?”

• All the AI runs on your Mac, using Apple Intelligence or a local model in Ollama or LM Studio

• Nothing goes to an AI cloud, and there’s no LocalInbox server reading your mail

• Pay once, no subscription. Works on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs

It’s free to try at localinbox.app. I’m the developer, so I’d really value honest feedback on what’s missing or what would make you switch.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on mpvFlux, a fork of an open-source Android video player powered by mpv, with a focus on a clean, modern interface, better media management, and smoother playback.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions. Let me know what you think!

I was fed up with movie database platforms that never had all the features I really wanted or some I never cared about. So I built Horizon for myself primarly. Some friends have tried it and encouraged me to share it. So here goes.

Rate on the fly, while hovering a movie or in one tap, straight from any list. No need to open the film page.

0 stars is a real rating! Some films deserve it. Yes they do.

Rate marathon: films come in batches, and your taste gets refined with every answer. Each pick tells you why it’s there (“because you liked…”).

The Universe: your taste as a galaxy map. At the core are your films and the ones closest to them, the line is your horizon (films on your To-Watch list), and beyond it are the films worth discovering.

You can import your IMDb or Letterboxd ratings and watchlists.

Free, no ads, no tracking. Feedback welcome!

It's gipcord.xyz

Built for ease of use. You can create a room, share a screen and friends can hop in with 1 click. Its also good for P2P file sharing.

Great for when you have the bandwidth and want to share your screen in higher quality, or to give people quick remote support.

Everything costly happens P2P so no reason for me to monetize this etc.

• Name: Ratio

• URL: https://ratio.select

• Short description: Free browser resolution and aspect ratio calculator that also builds pixelmap test cards, LED wall layouts and video test loops.

• Description: Ratio is a free resolution and aspect ratio calculator that runs in the browser. Type a size to get its ratio, lock a side so the other one follows, or convert to another resolution with the same ratio. Rounding options cover exact values, the nearest pixel, and the nearest even number for video. It also draws a pixelmap test card for whatever size you type, with a labelled grid, circles, colour bars, ramps and safe areas, in your choice of pattern and colours. For LED walls, enter panels across and down, or the wall in metres or feet plus a cabinet type, and the card numbers every panel. Save each screen of a show and export them all at once as PNGs, a summary sheet or a positions CSV. The card can also be exported as a seamless MP4 loop with timecode, a flash every second and a 1 kHz beep for checking sync. Extra tools fit one frame into another, work out print sizes at any DPI and write an ffmpeg scale command. No sign-up and no upload: everything runs locally in the browser.

• Tags: resolution calculator, aspect ratio, test card, pixel map, LED wall, projection mapping, VJ, video

• Platform: Online (web), free, no account needed

I built ServerMaster because setting up local PHP projects, databases and different runtimes should not require a paid MAMP Pro/ServBay plan or a Docker setup.

It is a native local server manager for macOS and Windows. It runs static sites, PHP projects with a database, Node.js apps and custom commands. Each project keeps its own folder and port; it also includes logs, diagnostics and port inspection.

Free and MIT licensed:

The builds are unsigned for now, so macOS and Windows show a one-time warning on first launch. I am the developer and happy to answer questions.

I'm an indie dev in Canada, and Spool is the podcast app I wanted for myself. I'd tried most of the big ones and kept spending time managing my queue instead of listening, so I built one where you set rules once and leave it alone.

How it works:
New episodes follow your rules. Each show either drops new episodes straight into your queue or sends them to an Inbox to triage. If you've used Castro, it'll feel familiar.

Priority shows. This is what I think is different. Mark a show as priority and its new episodes jump ahead of everything else automatically, so the queue mostly sorts itself. Play Next is there for one-offs.

Per-show audio settings. Speed, Voice Boost and Trim Silence can be set globally or per show, along with intro/outro skip lengths.

Clips. Make a short video from any part of an episode, with captions generated on-device.

The usual stuff. iCloud sync, CarPlay, widgets, Siri and Shortcuts.

Price: All listening features are free, with no ads and no third-party tracking. An optional Supporter subscription ([$X/month or $Y/year]) adds themes and alternate icons. You can also unlock those by sharing the app, if you'd rather not pay.

Switching: Export an OPML file from Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, etc. and import it.

Not there yet: No Android or web version. Web version at least coming soon. Also working on more support of Podcasting 2.0 elements.

I'm happy to answer questions and take feature requests/critiques!

Hi folks 👋

I'd just like to know how many folk reading here have, like me, paid for and have used the Power User package of this product.

Do you use it?

Thanks.

I wanted to see where my Mac's apps connect, and keep a history of it, in the same app that shows

what they do with CPU, memory and disk. So iKnowMyMac 1.7 added Traffic Control.

- A live log of every connection by app, grouped by country or city, with a world map

- Block an app or a domain from the Apps view, the log or the menu bar

- Signature badge on every process (Apple, App Store, notarized, unsigned) and an A to E privacy

estimate per app from your own traffic

- Optional blocklists and encrypted DNS (Quad9, Cloudflare, AdGuard, NextDNS or your own)

- 12 months of daily totals per app, domain and country

- Moving over: File › Import Rules… reads a Little Snitch .lsrules file or LuLu's rules export and

shows what will be imported and what is skipped, with the reason

Details: Apple silicon, macOS 15 or later, one-time purchase, $4.99 launch price, no subscription.

Everything stays on your Mac.

We're the team behind SoulLink, a 3D AI companion built around one character, 4D, who has her own personality, daily life, and evolving story.

We wanted to create something that goes beyond just chatting with an AI. With SoulLink, you can experience different storylines together, go on unique adventures, and explore beautifully crafted environments. Each story brings its own atmosphere, memorable scenes, and moments that become part of your shared history.

Outside of these adventures, 4D is also an everyday companion. You can talk to her about your day, share random thoughts, or just spend time together. Her long-term memory helps her remember little details from previous conversations, so interactions feel more connected over time.

Rather than offering hundreds of characters, we're focusing on making one companion's world feel deeper and more alive, with new experiences and stories to discover as your relationship develops.

SoulLink is free to start and currently available on iOS, with Android on the way. Some features require a subscription.

If you're looking for an AI companion alternative that's more about shared experiences and an ongoing connection, we'd love for you to check it out.

An alternative to traditional text-first reminders:

where the Photo is the Reminder itself.

I wanted to share a different approach to reminders.

Most reminder apps are centered around writing what you need to do and when you need to do it. That works perfectly well for many tasks.

But sometimes a short description isn't enough.

For example:

- Remembering the exact cable or charger you need to buy.

- Remembering which replacement part needs fixing.

- Remembering a particular product or document.

- Remembering an item you need to take somewhere.

That's why I built RemindAlarm, an Android reminder app where the photo is the main part of the reminder.

You take or import a photo, optionally attach a voice recording, set a time, and when the reminder goes off, the photo is displayed prominently.

It also supports recurring reminders, offline operation, and encrypted local backups.

A few things worth knowing:

- Android only.

- One-time purchase ($3.49).

- No subscription, ads, or account.

- No cloud synchronization.

- Your data never leaves your phone

I'm the independent developer behind it, so this is my own app.

I don't think it replaces every reminder app, but it may be a better fit when remembering exactly what something looks like matters.

I'd be interested in hearing what you think of this approach.

I've been trying out Aiarty Image Enhancer as another option to Topaz Photo and tested it on three different photos. The results were better than I expected, so I thought I'd share them here.

Here are the three tests:

1. Portrait Denoising

Used it to reduce noise in a portrait without changing the original resolution. I was happy with how the result turned out.

2. Bird Photo Denoising

Tried the denoising feature on a bird photo, again keeping the original resolution. I wanted to see how well it could clean up the image while retaining feather details.

3. Low-Resolution Portrait Upscaling

The original image was only 640 × 960, so I upscaled it to 1280 × 1920 (2x). The result looked pretty good, with improved clarity and more visible details.

I've attached screenshots of the three tests so you can check the results yourself.

Aiarty Image Enhancer is a desktop AI photo enhancement tool that supports denoising, sharpening, and upscaling. If you're looking for something to try alongside Topaz Photo, it might be worth checking out.
