Description

Drop in a .mp4 or .mov screen recording, pick an iPhone frame, add a few zoom moments on the timeline, and export a clean clip for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, product demos, or in-app tutorials. Maya keeps the workflow simple: frame the recording, tweak the motion, hit export. You can render a regular H.264 .mp4 for social platforms or export a transparent HEVC .mov with alpha for overlays inside apps, presentations, or video editors.

The app runs natively on macOS. It ships with iPhone 17, 16, and 15 Pro frames, background presets, animation curves, timeline editing, and one-click zoom presets that make raw screen recordings feel a lot less raw.

Use Cases

  • Create iPhone app demo videos
  • Make TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts from screen recordings
  • Produce cinematic product showcase clips
  • Export transparent overlays for app tutorials
  • Create onboarding walkthrough videos for mobile apps

brew-browser: Native Homebrew GUI for macOS to Manage Packages, Services & Brewfiles

brew-browser doesn't replace Homebrew. It simply gives it a proper macOS interface. You can see what's installed, search thousands of packages, upgrade software, manage services, and create Brewfile snapshots without memorizing commands or keeping multiple terminal windows open. Everything still runs through the real brew CLI, so you're not learning a new package manager or dealing with a compatibility layer. It can pull information into one place. Installed packages, available updates, storage usage, trending Homebrew packages, services, snapshots, and even optional vulnerability scanning all live inside a native desktop app that feels at home on macOS.

Donut Browser: Open Source Anti-Detect Browser With Unlimited Isolated Profiles

If you've ever managed multiple accounts in the same browser, you've probably run into the usual mess. Wrong account logged in. Cookies bleeding between sessions and more. Donut solves that by treating every profile as its own browser. Create a profile, attach a proxy if you want, and it gets its own cookies, storage, extensions, fingerprint, and network settings. Open five profiles and it feels like you're using five separate browsers. Everything stays local. There's no account to create. You download the app, create profiles, and get on with your work. If you're managing client accounts, testing websites, keeping work and personal browsing apart, or building automation workflows through the local API, Donut gives you a clean way to keep identities separated without turning your browser into a headache.
