I made a small free utility for new windows opening on the wrong display
ProblemI'm not sure whether I'm the only person who finds this annoying, but with two displays, new windows often appeared on the other screen instead of the one I was working on.I built SpawnHere to fix that one specific problem. It is a small menu-bar app that moves a regular new window to the display where the mouse pointer is. It leaves dialogs, sheets, palettes, full-screen windows, and system UI alone.ComparisonRectangle and Moom are much broader window managers. SpawnHere is not meant to replace them. For this particular job, there are no layouts or shortcuts to manage: leave the pointer on the intended display and create the window.PricingFree, with no paid tier or subscription: https://www.kindler-dev.de/apps/spawnhere/About the developerIt requires macOS 14 and Accessibility permission. The download is signed and notarized by Apple. I am the developer, Björn Kindler, and would be interested to hear whether this problem bothered anyone else.Developer and contact: https://www.kindler-dev.de/Privacy Policy: https://www.kindler-dev.de/privacy-policy/Terms of Use: https://www.kindler-dev.de/terms-of-use/

Blip vs LocalSend in 2026 - which file transfer app is better?
Blip is free but proprietary. LocalSend is free and open-source.LocalSend only sends on a local network, and all transfers are E2EE. So thats probably about as secure as it gets. There havent been updates in about a year but I dont think the software is dead.Blip can send over local network, or via the internet (wifi or cellular), which is handy but potentially less secure. My understanding is that transfers from iOS to MacOS are E2EE, though at this point perhaps all transfers are E2EE. Blip also seems to have a better UI but thats not super critical for my occasional use of a file transfer app.Which do you prefer and why? Is that fact that Blip is not open source an issue for you?

Hiring someone to set up my system
Is it possible?Law and policy research, medical records, essays, bookmarks, and I'm hoping to scan documents that I don't have in pdf form.What most appeals is automated sorting/tagging and more convenient naming, searching.I would like to integrate Obsidian too for writing and thinking.I don't have the mind to create my own scaffold, can I find help? Where? What will it cost?Thank you!

Foyer: ambient sound you place around yourself, from the menu bar
Problem. I work better with background sound, but every mixer I tried is a stack of sliders: rain at 40, fire at 60, all of it landing in the middle of my head. After an hour that flat wall is its own kind of tiring and I'd end up turning it off.Foyer puts each sound on a canvas as an orb you drag around yourself. Distance sets the volume, left and right sets the pan, so you build a room by placing things in it instead of balancing faders. It's real binaural spatial audio. It lives in the menu bar, so switching rooms or setting a sleep timer never opens a window.Comparison.A Soft Murmur is the classic free mixer: ten sliders, no account, and an App Store privacy label that reads Data Not Collected, same as mine. If sliders do the job for you it's genuinely fine, and it's free. The difference here is placement rather than level, plus a native menu-bar presence and rooms that carry over to the iPhone.Endel is the other direction: a subscription, an account required, and an App Store privacy label listing identifiers used to track you, with advertising among the stated purposes. Foyer has no account, no analytics in the app, and one payment.Pricing. The free tier does not expire: the whole 12-sound library, three sounds per room, five saved rooms, menu-bar control and sleep timer, AirPods head tracking, and shareable rooms.$9.99 once unlocks unlimited sounds and rooms, scheduling, Shortcuts and Focus filters, and iCloud sync. One purchase covers Mac and iPhone. No subscription, no account.Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779207564?mt=12Screenshots: https://usefoyer.appDisclosure: I'm the developer.

Which Popclip extensions do you use most?
With the new release of popclip, i decided to look into new settings and extensions.I mostly use cut/copy/paste, open link, and open easydic (which i use mostly for AI translations), I have a few others, but never really use them. Not because they are aren't useful, but because I need them so seldomly that I forget they are in the popclip popup. Any extensions you use for a relative generic workflow that you recommend? by generic I mean, i am not a dev, so rarely will I need to convert text to snake_case and things like that.thanks
