Show HN: Viberunner – build personal desktop apps in seconds

5 pointsby 1y agoviberunner.me

I kept seeing people making macOS apps for their one-off use cases and automations.

I thought surely the hassle of paying for an Apple dev account and fighting with code signing and notarization would be a deterrent for most people.

Viberunner is a container environment that lets you build macOS apps with simple prompts. You can run the apps in a new tab, a new window, or even as a system menu bar app.

You can create things like:

- a clipboard manager - an image redactor - a note-taking tool that saves a daily note to a folder on your desktop - a desktop organizer that cleans up your screenshots - an app to manage and launch Android emulators - ... and so on

Apps in Viberunner have deep system access to give you the most control possible, so there's almost nothing that can't be done with it.

It's totally free during alpha. I'd really just like feedback to know if this is useful or not!

People I've shown this to said it was really cool, but is it useful?

Would love your feedback :)
