Sharing a series of free macOS (14+) mini productivity apps

[nuancedev]

Hi 👋 I’ve been building with Claude some macOS mini productivity apps to improve my own workflows as a designer/developer I figured why not share them with the community.

I'm basing each in a different letter, maybe someday I'll have the whole alphabet:


1. Achico - File Compressor 📦 — Compresses and resizes audio, video, image and misc files. https://github.com/nuance-dev/achico

2. Figura - Background Remover ✂️ — Removes background from images. https://github.com/nuance-dev/figura

3. Medio - Diff Checker 🕵️‍♂️ — Local real-time diffing. https://github.com/nuance-dev/medio

4. (Soon) YouTube Transcriber 📜 — Video and youtube link transcription.

They’re all free and open-source, let me know of any feature ideas, bugs, or even app ideas. Thanks!

The Save button doesn't do anything in Figura 1.4.0 (1)

Oh, let me debug here. Thanks!

Some notes on Vocal:
- Python is available in macOS if Apple Command Line Tools are installed (xcode-select --install), Python 3.9.6 in /usr/bin/Python3

- yt-dlp does not require Homebrew to install, binaries are available:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

- dragging a video in Vocal 2.1.0 (19) doesn’t do anything, pasting a link returns an error: “The operation couldn't be completed. (Vocal.YouTubeManager.YouTubeError error O.)”

Damn! I'll review it. Sorry. Thanks for the feedback
