The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Sunlight – the camera-based infinite canvas window manager for Mac · score 8.0

  Sunlight is a macOS window manager that replaces the traditional stacked window model with an infinite, camera-based canvas where every window is displayed live and can be navigated spatially. It achieves this via a custom Dock add-on that enables real window scaling and interaction at 1:1 within the canvas, offering features like layouts, gestures, and desktop integration. The project is technically ambitious, requiring partial SIP disabling for its live-window mode, and is well-documented with clear setup instructions.

• Show HN: Contrack – Self-hosted contact manager and people search · score 7.8

  Contrack is a self-hosted contact manager that imports contacts from multiple sources, deduplicates them, enriches profiles with AI, and tracks relationships with reminders and a daily briefing. It combines privacy-first local search, a command palette, map-based exploration, and MCP integration for AI assistants, offering a polished alternative to cloud CRMs.

• Show HN: Twig – An Android file manager for NAS, S3, restic and Git · score 7.3

  Twig is a size-first, dual-pane Android file manager that unifies local storage, archives, network protocols (FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, S3), restic repositories, and media servers (Jellyfin/Emby) into a single expandable tree. It stands out for its modular 'one FileSystem interface' architecture, hand-written implementations of WebDAV, S3, Git, and restic, and a focus on minimal dependencies and small APK size.

• Show HN: Self-hosted Google Business Profile manager with agent approvals · score 6.8

  OpenGMB is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed manager for Google Business Profiles that centralizes reviews, posts, edits, performance, and rank tracking for agencies and multi-location businesses. Its key differentiators are a human-in-the-loop approval system with guardrail rules and an MCP server exposing ~250 tools so AI agents can draft work while humans retain final say. The community edition includes 2FA, audit logging, and a REST API, targeting agencies and local businesses seeking cost-effective control.
