siift is a decision tool for people running the business on AI (most of us at this point, be honest) that keeps the thinking from getting lost in a hundred chats. You ask it things, it filters the noise, it writes the reasoning down, and it pushes back when a plan only sounds confident. Samim built it after AI helped run his last startup into the ground, and he says so right there in the launch post: it did everything they asked, the decisions got rushed, the company shut down. It cost him a year and tens of thousands of dollar. Tbh, admitting that in your own launch copy is the best ad the product could have.

Mac Duo turns your screen to frosted glass as you close the laptop lid, and the further you close it the blurrier it gets. That's the whole product, and it's weirdly great. The half-close everyone does when a screen is visible and the contents aren't for sharing is now a real control with a real result, and everything is sitting exactly where you left it when you open back up. It sorts the flight problem, the café problem, and the somebody-walked-in-mid-contract problem, all with a hinge. It's a simple idea for a simple problem, properly built, and I've been opening and closing a laptop all morning because of it. Kudos.

Thoughts lives in the menu bar and catches the half-formed stuff before it evaporates. Text, an image, a voice note when your hands are busy, one hotkey and it's in, no app switch, no new document, none of the ceremony that kills a small idea on the way to a big notes app. Everything lands in one stream you can sort out later, or never, which is honestly how most of these notes deserve to be treated. The good thought you had making the coffee has a survival rate now.
