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. -

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. -

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. -

Docker images for Selenium Grid Server
Docker images for the Selenium Grid Server
Grid 4 has the ability to start Docker containers on-demand, this means that it starts a Docker container in the background for each new session request, the test gets executed there, and when the test completes, the container gets thrown away. This execution mode can be used either in the Standalone or Node roles. The "dynamic" execution mode needs to be told what Docker images to use when the containers get started. Additionally, the Grid needs to know the URI of the Docker daemon. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point, making it easy to run the tests against a vast combination of browsers/OS, then you want to use Selenium Grid. It is possible to start a Selenium Grid with all its components apart. For simplicity, only an example with docker-compose will be provided. Save the file locally, and check the execution instructions on top of it. -

Just describe your UI, and Compose takes care of the rest. As app state changes, your UI automatically updates. Compatible with all your existing code so you can adopt when and where you want. Iterate fast with live previews and full Android Studio support. Compose enables you to create beautiful apps with direct access to the Android platform APIs and built-in support for Material Design, Dark theme, animations, and more: “Compose has also solved more than declarative UI -- accessibility apis, layout, all kinds of stuff have been improved. There are fewer steps between the thing you want to make and actually making it” (Square).
