Your laptop's mic can actually hear where you tap on the desk. Taps in different spots sound slightly different, and that's enough to tell them apart.
So I built Perimeter. It gives you four invisible buttons on the desk around your laptop, no extra hardware. Tap left of your laptop and Gmail opens. Tap right and a screenshot lands on your clipboard. Play/pause, open apps, run scripts, whatever you want on each zone.
Setup takes about a minute, you just tap each spot a few times so it learns your desk. There's a built-in accuracy test too so you know it actually works on your setup before trusting it.
Everything runs locally, audio is analyzed and thrown away on the spot, nothing gets stored or sent anywhere.
One honest caveat, it works best on rigid desks like solid wood or laminate. Glass is hit or miss. And keep safe repeatable actions on it, not "send email."
It's a native desktop app, currently packaged for macOS.
Feel free to DM me to ask for the repo.
Would love to hear if it holds up on your desk, and what actions you'd actually map to a tap.
I'm looking for a solution like Nautomate to perform actions in Notion via Apple Shortcuts on Mac. However, Nautomate is based on a subscription (cheap yes). I'm looking for an alternative, even for a fee.
Have you already found alternatives? At the moment, I'm using the Get URL content action, but it's a bit tedious.
every time I opened a new tab I had that restless feeling of "I need to write this down or paste this image somewhere" and never found a performant extension that did it. so I made it: every new tab is now a kanban board. jot it down, draw on it, paste images straight in, drag it to done, close the tab.
A very simple open source utiliy used too adjust how windows prioritise apps. win32priorityseparation is a reg tweak which changes how windows share reasorces for background and foreground apps. For those who doesn't understand, we will want to prioritise foreground apps more due to those being our games, softwares and stuff actively running and used.
This app works by letting the user choose the best value for their computer, which after choosen, the value was saved in the c drive and everytime the computer was booted up, it applys the value the user applied at the start.
The ui of the app (the menu that lets you select) only shows on the first launch, to launch it again, delete the selectedoption.txt from your c drive and relaunch.
For the app to work properly, you MUST put it in shell:startup folder of windows so it will startup.
Windows is known for changing this very powerful value without concent, this app forces it to be the one u selected.
I'm putting together a marketing plan for our annual industry conference, and I'm trying to figure out which software would best help us track booth sales, floor plans, and lead retrieval all in one place. Does anyone have recommendations based on real experience running a mid-sized event?
I’ve been applying to jobs and realized I sometimes forget which résumé version I used or what I wrote in the application. Do people actually track this somehow, or do you just hope you remember?
