Key Takeaways

I'm also building a Mac app that helps automate frequent actions. Eg: 1. Open a URL in a browser, switch to tab if it exists already 2. Open a bunch of apps (VSCode project, Slack, Github on web) 3. Copy last error stack trace from Chrome 4. Open VSCode, switch to the terminal where Claude Code is opened
1, 2 are trivial with AppleScript.
How would you approach 3, 4? A browser extension and a VSCode extension that communicates with the Mac app might work, but wouldn't scale for more apps (and is a maintenance nightmare)
It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you.
Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers.
It works in 50 languages (including English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish) and with images (OCR and object recognition), PDFs, Microsoft Office, ePubs, text, Markdown, and many other file types.
For messy folders anywhere on the Mac, Floxtop can help.
1. A short description of what kind of files belong there
2. A specific folder on your Mac as the destination
When you drop unsorted files into Floxtop, it looks inside each file, understands what it’s about, and compares it with your categories. Instead of picking a single place, Floxtop suggests the five most likely destinations, ordered by confidence.
Nothing happens automatically:
- Files are never moved on their own
- You review the suggestions and decide what gets moved
- If a file doesn’t clearly belong anywhere, it stays untouched
Floxtop helps you decide where things belong — the final action is always yours.
It’s a tool born out of my own frustration with "heavy" HR suites. I’m convinced that frequency beats depth when it comes to team health, so I built a 30-second weekly pulse to track sentiment and operational friction.
Players manage an energy bar to jump, land on clouds for super bounces, and you can throw bombs at each other to steal points and cause chaos. Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, no dependencies, ~1000 lines in a single file.
The kids designed the characters (Kirby and Kee Kee) and we had a blast playtesting together... tweaking cloud bounce physics, adding a tie screen for when scores match, bumping bombs from 3 to 5. Kid-driven game design is so much fun.

Please give us some feedback on how to improve!
Also I plan to build other fun mini-projects and write a couple of blog posts currently sleeping in my backlog.
