Mutate is a native Mac menu bar utility. It works in any window and it aims not interfere with your workflow. It is triggered with a shortcut and offers two concepts: transformations to transform selected text and generators, to generate text at cursor position. Both are defined in Javascript and besides existing ones users can define their own.

I built this because similar utilities feel quite bloated with a steep learning curve. Also didn't need anything super complicated, nor didn't want to pay.

If anybody tries it, I would love to hear your feedback!

Hey HN! I'm a macOS developer, and I built a new tool called Mutate to solve a constant friction point in my workflow.

As developers, we are constantly decoding Base64, formatting minified JSON, escaping URLs, or converting casing. I was tired of pasting potentially sensitive logs and data into random web tools to get this done. Mutate is a native macOS application that handles all these text transformations locally and instantly. Built entirely in Swift, it's designed to be fast, lightweight, and completely private.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think, or if there are any specific transformations you'd like to see added!

Hello there, new feature just landed in my free process monitor for macOS: find process by clicking anywhere on the screen.

Feel free to grab the tool here: https://process-spy.app

If you like the app, I would appreciate a testimonial :)

Best, Robert
