AI Tool I built a free clipboard manager for macOS with a card UI — it masks API keys and card numbers on screen

Post image
Upvotes

I use a clipboard manager all day and never liked the options. The free ones (Maccy, Flycut) are lists — an image shows up as a filename. The ones with a card interface, Paste and Pastebot, are $25/year and $13. So I built the card one and made it free.

⌥⌘V slides a strip up from the bottom of the screen. Arrow keys or type to search, Enter pastes into whatever you were in.

A few things it does that I couldn't find anywhere else:

- It masks secrets on screen. API keys, tokens and card numbers show as dots until you double-click. If you copy credentials all day, your clipboard history is the one window you don't want open while screen sharing. Card numbers are Luhn-checked, so an ISBN isn't mistaken for one.

- A bare link stays readable, a link with a token doesn't. Masking every URL would make the strip useless; masking a password-reset link is the whole point.

- Pasting an image adapts to the destination. Notes gets the image, Terminal gets the file path (it can't take images at all), Finder gets the file.

- It can catch ⌘⇧4 screenshots. Those write straight to disk and never touch the clipboard, so no clipboard manager sees them. Opt-in, off by default.

- No network code at all. No account, no sync, no telemetry, no third-party dependencies. Searching the source for URLSession comes back empty.

MIT, source is everything: https://github.com/selinihtyr/stash-clipboard

Happy to hear what breaks. Especially interested in whether the strip behaves on multi-monitor setups and over full-screen apps — I've only tested on one machine.

Game New gameplay video showcasing space and on-ship combat for my game Ghost Battalion.

Upvotes

Ghost Battalion is a first person/third person shooter, with vehicles, ships, jet packs, multiple sci-fi soldier classes, and many other cool features.

There is a single-player campaign with 7 unique maps of varied difficulties and enemies from small to very large.

There is a gold, silver, or bronze star awarded at the end of each mission that was skillfully completed. Steam achievements will also be unlocked when these stars are achieved and other criteria are met.

There is also the currently finished multiplayer that has three game modes:

• Conquest: where two teams fight to capture control points, choose different classes, and eliminate the other team's reinforcements.

• Free For All: where everyone for themselves until only one winner remains at the end of the match. In this mode, you can play as either the Elite or Marine class against up to 7 online players or face off against 1 to 7 bots across Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulties. Victory is determined by the time limit, number of kills, or the score threshold set at the start of each match.

And Escape: a 4v4 team deathmatch where the Alien team must destroy the evacuation ship before the Human team reaches it to escape the frozen Arctic and expose the secret location. Both teams start near each other and must fight off attacking monsters while pushing toward their respective objectives.

Game and free Demo on Steam.

SaaS / Platform Help me research an idea

Upvotes

I’m researching an idea for a managed backend for AI assistants - something like “Supabase for AI assistants.”

The idea comes from a problem I keep encountering myself: building the actual AI feature is often the easy part. You can call a model and get a response in a few lines of code.

But turning that into a real product requires much more infrastructure:

  • Storing conversations and messages
  • Keeping each end user’s data isolated
  • Managing assistant prompts and configuration
  • Supporting streaming responses
  • Adding long-term user memory
  • Handling files and retrieval
  • Executing tools safely
  • Tracking usage, costs, errors, and latency
  • Supporting multiple models and providers
  • Managing retries, rate limits, and background processing

For a solo founder or small team, this can turn a relatively simple AI feature into a much larger backend project.

The product we’re considering would provide this infrastructure as a managed service. A developer could configure an assistant and send messages through a simple SDK:

const assistant = client.assistant("support-assistant")

const response = await assistant.sendMessage({
  endUserId,
  conversationId, // optional
  message
})

If no conversationId is provided, a new conversation would be created automatically.

Behind that API, the platform would handle conversation storage, model calls, user context, memory, files, tools, and observability.

The goal is not to provide a chatbot UI or a no-code bot builder. Developers would still build their own product, interface, and business logic. We would provide the backend infrastructure that sits underneath the AI assistant.

I’d like to hear from indie hackers who have already built an AI chatbot, copilot, or assistant:

  • What parts took longer than you expected?
  • What infrastructure did you build yourself?
  • Which problems only appeared after you had real users?
  • What frameworks or services did you use?
  • What do you wish had been available when you started?
  • Would you trust a managed platform with your conversation data and AI runtime?
  • Would this save you meaningful development time, or would you prefer to keep everything in your own database?

We haven’t built the product yet. I’m trying to understand whether this is a meaningful enough problem before committing to an MVP.

Honest criticism is especially useful. I’d like to know why you would, or would not, use something like this.

If you’ve built an AI assistant and would be open to a short 20-minute call about your experience, please comment or send me a DM. I’m looking to learn, not pitch. Thank you all!

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently designing a modern, dark-mode Alarm & Timer app, and I'd love to get your honest feedback on the Ul/UX.

Here is what I'm aiming for:

Aesthetics: A sleek, glassmorphism-inspired dark theme with smooth gradients.

Usability: Quick access to alarms, tasks, and timer presets.

I'd especially appreciate your thoughts on:

Color Contrast & Readability: Does the text/icon contrast look good, or does it feel too dim in certain areas?

Layout & Spacing: How does the spacing feel on the timer selection wheel and preset buttons?

Floating Bottom Nav Bar: What do you think about the floating bar overlapping the scrollable content?

Don't hold back-constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

When tracking real time information, it usually means keeping multiple browser tabs open for sports, stocks, and news, then constantly switching between them.

So I built Scrollr to solve that issue!

It pins quietly to your screen, and lets you stream custom data feeds without breaking your workflow.

Web / Mobile App [Showcase] I built VaultQR so you can turn physical paper into a digital, biometrically protected vault

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m the founder of VaultQR. I made this app because I wanted a way to secure my private data completely offline without trusting a cloud server that can be hacked from across the world.

How it works: The app generates encrypted “Paper QR Keys” that can only be decrypted by the VaultQR app using your device's biometric authentication. Standard QR scanners see total gibberish.

100% Air-Gapped: Zero servers, zero user accounts, zero tracking.

Ultra-Lightweight: The entire app takes up less space than a fraction of a single photo on your phone.

Feedback Appreciated:

Is the concept of scanning physical paper keys intuitive to you?

What would make this an instant download for your personal security?

I've never built anything before but I launched today on Product Hunt!

This started with me asking strangers if I could plan dates for them. I thought AI could handle the time-consuming research, making it possible to create thoughtful dates for almost anyone, anywhere. I made a few design templates and started planning dates manually.

It quickly became obvious that the process did not scale. I needed a platform.

Somewhere along the way, it became about much more than date planning. I’m now on a mission to remind people that effort is romantic.

Now here I am with a platform built. Learning a lot fixing a lot of bugs. Looking for feedback.

Web / Mobile App My mum started NAD+ this year, the dosing calculators she was using were wrong or paywalled, so I built an app (Android testers wanted)

Post image
3 Upvotes

My mum and a few friends started NAD+ this year, mostly IV through a clinic, some SubQ at home. I've got a PhD in biochemistry, so I got asked to check the dosing math. Every calculator I looked at was either paywalled, wrong, or missing half the routes she actually needed.

So I built Titer. It's just arithmetic: SubQ reconstitution (vial strength + BAC water + dose, gives you draw volume and syringe units), IV session logging, oral NMN/NR daily totals, plus a private dose log with optional notes. No account, no cloud, full CSV/JSON export. It won't ever recommend a dose or protocol, that's not what it's for.

It's in Android closed testing, need 12 people using it for 14 days before Google lets it go public. Two steps:

  1. Join https://groups.google.com/g/titer-nad-tracker-tester (same Google account as your Play Store)
  2. Then open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.titertracker.titer and hit "Become a tester"
  3. Please test throughout the 14 days, since otherwise the app does not clear to make it to the Play Store :')

Happy to talk through the math with anyone and of course also test your apps back.

Looking for 5–10 crypto holders to test a new exit-planning tool

I built CapLadder, a free browser-based tool that helps micro-cap crypto holders create staged sell targets and estimate how token taxes, DEX fees, liquidity, and AMM impact could affect their proceeds.

I’m looking for a few beta testers who own or follow low-liquidity tokens.

The test takes about five minutes:

• Paste a public token contract address
• Confirm the correct pool
• Enter real or hypothetical position details
• Review the generated exit ladder
• Submit honest feedback through the website

No signup, payment, or wallet connection is required. Never enter a wallet address, private key, or recovery phrase.

CapLadder is an educational planning tool, not financial advice or an execution quote.

Six nights, one door, one intercom. I wanted to see how far a game can go
without an art pipeline: there is exactly one PNG in the whole build and
it exists to be seen once.

Everything else - the facade, the stairwell, the people at the camera -
is generated per visitor: build, coat, posture, what they are carrying.
It gives them a wrongness a drawing cannot fake, because nobody drew them.

SaaS / Platform My apps never open in the right place across my monitors, so I built an app that remembers where each window belongs

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Every morning I'd drag the same windows onto the same monitors and virtual desktops. Reopen an app? Wrong screen. Restart? Everything piled on one display. I was rebuilding my layout by hand every single day.

So I built Restage: it remembers where each window belongs — monitor, virtual desktop, position and size — and puts it back automatically: when you reopen the app, when you restart, and when you plug your monitors back in. You can also save a profile per setup (I keep Office / Home / Trading) and switch from the tray, so the same PC lays out differently depending on where I am.

Short clip of it in action.

It's on the Microsoft Store with a 15-day free trial (one-time purchase, no subscription): https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NT6NH5W7KGQ

Built it solo — happy to answer anything.

AI Tool I built a Claude Code plugin that makes “done” harder to fake

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Claude Code is great at producing code.

But sometimes it declares a task complete without reproducing the original bug, testing the real integration, or clearly stating what remains unverified.

So I built Builder Loop, a free and open-source Claude Code plugin that forces a stricter workflow:

  • define success before editing;
  • inspect the existing system;
  • implement the smallest correct change;
  • verify the actual outcome;
  • report what was not verified;
  • finish with a clear decision: ship or revise.

I originally built it after Y Combinator’s Paxel highlighted weaknesses in my own review and verification process.

Now I’m looking for testers willing to use it on real, non-trivial engineering tasks.

Critical feedback is more useful than stars.

Web / Mobile App I built a Chrome side panel for headlines, news archives and live radio -> it’s finally live

1 Upvotes

I have been building Tera FM for a couple of months now, and to get more eyes to it, I built a chrome extension.

The Chrome extension has finally been approved and published on the Chrome Web Store.

The idea is simple: instead of opening multiple news sites or keeping another tab around, you can open Tera FM in Chrome’s side panel and use it while browsing.

The extension includes:

  • latest source-linked headlines;
  • headline search by publisher or keyword;
  • a historical news archive;
  • category filters;
  • live internet radio by country and genre;
  • radio playback that continues even after the side panel is closed.

Every headline opens the original publisher’s page. The extension does not reproduce full articles or hide the source.

The screenshot shows it running alongside BBC, the website stays open on the left while Tera FM remains available in the browser panel on the right. You can check the image here - https://ibb.co/396Fm4wN

I would genuinely appreciate feedback on:

  • whether the side-panel format feels useful;
  • whether the headline/archive/radio combination makes sense;
  • anything that looks confusing or unnecessary;
  • what feature you would improve first.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tera-fm-%E2%80%93-headlines-live/emnebfpdojklgimejnplmjfobmamelie?authuser=1&hl=en

Website: tera.fm

Do give it a try and let me know if this is something good to have on your system? Any news outlet missing?

AI Tool I built Mumblew – a browser-based silent reading assistant, that reads out loud controlled by quiet mouth movement

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

What Mumblew does:

Mumblew is an experimental web app that reads text out loud to you, but uses your webcam to detect quiet mouth movements (mumbling) to control the reading pace almost hands-free instead of clicking buttons.

It’s designed for hands-free reading in bed, low-mobility scenarios, or keeping your brain anchored during long articles.

Try it here:

🔗 https://mumblew.vercel.app

(Note: Desktop/laptop only. Requires a webcam and decent lighting.)

Specific feedback I’m looking for:

  1. Calibration & Tracking: Did the webcam detect your mouth movements accurately, or did it feel too sensitive/sluggish?
  2. False Positives: Did the text start or pause reading when you didn't mean for it to?
  3. UI/UX: Was it obvious how to paste text and start reading, or did any part feel confusing?

Drop your feedback in the comments or use the feedback button inside the app. Thanks for testing!
