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. -

WhiteSur GTK Theme
MacOS like theme for all gtk based desktops
WhiteSur-gtk-theme brings a macOS Big Sur–inspired look to Linux desktops by providing a polished GTK theme with light and dark variants, rounded shapes, and refined translucency. It includes assets and installer scripts to apply the theme across GTK applications and desktop shells that support GTK theming, aiming for a cohesive, high-contrast interface. 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. -

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. -

It is particularly useful for developers who work with several instances of VS Code simultaneously, as it provides a visual cue to identify each workspace quickly. The extension enables users to apply custom colors to various UI elements such as the title bar, activity bar, and status bar. It supports both predefined and user-defined colors, as well as random color generation for quick customization. Peacock integrates with features like Live Share and remote development, automatically adjusting colors based on the session context. It also allows fine-grained control over which UI elements are affected by the color changes. The extension stores settings within the workspace configuration, ensuring consistency across sessions. -

Developers can add and remove header and footer views without replacing their normal adapter workflow. The component supports automatic or tap-triggered loading of additional data. Hierarchical lists can use linear, grid, or staggered layouts, and sticky views can remain visible during scrolling. Separate artifacts support the older Android support library and AndroidX environments. -

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. -

Impeccable
The design language that makes your AI harness better at design
Impeccable is a design skill system that helps AI coding tools produce better frontend interfaces by giving them a richer design vocabulary. It provides one comprehensive skill, multiple commands, and curated reference files covering typography, color, motion, spacing, interaction, responsive design, and UX writing.

It can be installed across several AI coding environments, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and others. Impeccable also includes deterministic anti-pattern detection through a CLI and browser extension without requiring an API key. It is most useful for developers and designers who want AI-generated interfaces to feel more polished, intentional, and product-aware. -

erd
Translates a plain text description of a relational database schema
erd is a Haskell-based command-line tool that transforms a plain-text description of a relational database schema into a graphical entity-relationship diagram using common ER conventions. This utility takes a plain text description of entities, their attributes and the relationships between entities and produces a visual diagram modeling the description. The visualization is produced by using Dot with GraphViz. There are limited options for specifying color and font information. Also, erd can output graphs in a variety of formats, including but not limited to: pdf, svg, eps, png, jpg, plain text and dot. In case one wishes to have a statically linked erd as a result, this is possible to have by executing build-static_by-nix.sh: which requires the nix package manager to be installed on the building machine. NixOS itself is not a requirement. -
