FineTune
FineTune, a macOS menu bar app to control volume for each app
FineTune is a macOS menu bar application that gives users fine-grained control over system audio by allowing them to adjust volume levels for individual applications independently, route audio streams to different output devices, and apply personalized equalizer settings. It fills a gap in macOS audio control by providing more advanced routing and audio shaping capabilities than the default system controls, making it useful for power users, audio professionals, and anyone needing precise management of their sound environment. Through a clean, minimal interface accessible from the menu bar, FineTune lets users isolate and balance application volumes, assign specific outputs (like headphones versus speakers), and tweak equalization to enhance or tailor audio based on content or personal preference. Its integration into the OS workflow means that these adjustments persist across sessions and respect the user’s choices without requiring constant interaction with deeper system settings. -

The project pays attention to details like window controls, titlebars, selection states, and widget hover effects so apps feel consistent from toolkits to system settings. Configuration options typically allow tweaking accents and choosing variants that match different desktop environments and icon sets. Documentation guides users through installing prerequisites, applying the theme, and resolving common edge cases across distributions. For Linux users who prefer Apple’s visual style but want open platforms, WhiteSur offers a maintained, community-driven path to a modern, visually unified desktop. -

SkyWater PDK
Open source process design kit for usage with SkyWater Technology
The SkyWater PDK is the first broadly available open-source process design kit for a commercial-grade CMOS node, enabling researchers, startups, and students to design real ASICs without proprietary NDAs. It provides the essential artifacts for digital and analog flows: SPICE models, DRC/LVS rules, extraction decks, and technology files for open tools like Magic and KLayout. Standard-cell libraries and IO pads are included so digital designers can use open synthesis and place-and-route to reach a manufacturable GDS. Because the PDK is open, it becomes a common target for community reference designs, open tapeouts, and teaching curricula. Documentation and example flows show how to assemble complete toolchains, from RTL to sign-off, using open EDA components. The project effectively lowers the barrier to custom silicon, catalyzing an ecosystem around an accessible 130-nm process. -

Markdown
WeChat Markdown Editor
WeChat Markdown Editor | A highly concise WeChat Markdown editor, that supports Markdown syntax, color palette selection, multi-image upload, one-click document download, custom CSS style, one-click reset, and other features. Markdown documents are automatically rendered into WeChat graphics and text in real-time, so you no longer have to worry about the typesetting of WeChat articles! As long as you know the basic Markdown syntax, you can make a simple and beautiful WeChat graphic. Chrome browser is recommended for best results. In addition, for domestic (China) friends, accessing Gitee Pages will be relatively faster. The existing open-source WeChat Markdown editor has complicated styles and does not meet my personal aesthetic needs. When I use them for article typesetting, I often have to make some changes myself, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I did secondary development. -

HyDE Linux
Aesthetic, dynamic and minimal dots for Arch hyprland
HyDE Linux is an aesthetic, dynamic and minimal dots for Arch hyprland. The installation script is designed for a minimal Arch Linux install, but may work on some Arch-based distros. While installing HyDE alongside another DE/WM should work, due to it being a heavily customized setup, it will conflict with your GTK/Qt theming, Shell, SDDM, GRUB, etc., and is at your own risk. The install script will auto-detect an NVIDIA card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel. -

GitHub Dark
Dark GitHub style
GitHub-Dark is a userstyle that transforms GitHub’s interface into a coherent dark theme, covering repositories, issues, pull requests, gists, and profile pages. Distributed as a CSS stylesheet intended for the Stylus browser extension, it applies a comprehensive palette, rebalances contrast, and refines syntax colors for code views to ensure readability in low-light settings. The project goes beyond simple inversion by thoughtfully adjusting backgrounds, borders, badges, and diff highlights so the UI feels native rather than “flipped.” It includes targeted fixes for edge cases across GitHub’s many subpages, aiming for consistency while preserving the information hierarchy of the original design. Users can apply the theme selectively, override variables, or combine it with other userstyles to fit personal preference. Even with GitHub’s own theme options, GitHub-Dark remains a carefully tuned alternative for people who want a specific aesthetic or more granular control. -

Thaw
Menu bar manager for macOS 26
Thaw is a macOS menu bar management app focused on hiding, showing, and organizing menu bar items, with the broader goal of being a versatile customization toolkit rather than a single-purpose hider. It is a fork of the Ice project created to keep the concept actively maintained, fix bugs, and stay compatible with the latest macOS releases, especially newer versions where menu bar behavior and APIs have changed. At its core, Thaw provides multiple ways to reveal hidden items (hover, click empty space, scroll or swipe) and can automatically rehide items to keep the menu bar clean without constant manual toggling. It also supports a dedicated “always-hidden” section, drag-and-drop arrangement of items, and options to display hidden items in a separate bar, which can be particularly useful on MacBooks with notches. -
