Today: an analyst that goes and reads your Slack before telling you why signups fell, a bouncer that stands in front of your coding agent, and a way of finding out which app is actually cooking your laptop.

Hypership Day is Wednesday

Hypership Day is this Wednesday, September 30, and it is the only day on Product Hunt where you can launch the same product as many times as you like, as long as each version answers something a real person asked for.

It's open to anyone who hasn't launched in the last three months. We've partnered with TypeSafe AI, makers of Jev, and with Supabase, which is the stack a lot of those relaunches will be built on. Prizes include early access to Jev, credits, swag, and a few we're keeping quiet about.

Not launching? Turn up anyway. The whole thing only works if people are trying the products and saying what's missing, and on the day your feedback is somebody's next feature. Two days to get on the board, and you schedule it the normal way.

  • MCP Connectors by Databox — Give your AI Analyst context to explain performance and act

    MCP Connectors let Databox's AI analyst read the tools where the explanation actually lives, so your CRM, Slack, Notion and Linear, and then act in them, pausing a campaign or opening a task. Pete Caputa's example is a dip in trial signups that turns out to be a pricing change the team shipped two weeks earlier, and the answer often sits in a Slack thread where somebody on your own side already worked it out, which is a bleak thing to need software for. Davorin Gabrovec says the permission layer took them longest, and given an agent with live database credentials reading a ticket is how Supabase's tokens reached a public thread, that was the right call.

  • Eney by MacPaw — A proactive AI assistant for your Mac

    Most work mess is the small stuff: the follow-up that slipped after a meeting, the task that takes six clicks, the context switch that eats your afternoon. Eney, MacPaw's new AI assistant, connects to your email, calendar and files, surfaces what needs attention and helps you act on it, only with your approval. The Eney Preview is open now: join free and get 20,000 credits to put it through real work, no credit card or heavy prompting required.

  • Vitals  — A Mac activity monitor that thinks in apps, not processes

    Your Mac gets hot, you open Activity Monitor, and there are a thousand processes in there, ninety-six of them called Google Chrome Helper, none of which answers the only question you had. Vitals folds every helper back into the app that launched it, so sixty apps show up with one number each for memory, CPU, energy and network, and it digs out the dev servers you forgot were running, grouped by project. Atta makes Mac apps on his own, put this one on X two days ago and sold 800 copies in 72 hours, at $5 for the first thousand licences and $29 after that, paid once, no account.

  • VibeDefend by CybeDefend — The one command line to secure your Cursor and Claude Code

    VibeDefend installs into Claude Code or Cursor with one command and sits in front of the agent while it writes, feeding it the business rules it mined out of your own repo, checking each diff while the file is still open, and refusing rm -rf, sudo or a read of your secrets before they run, which stopped being theoretical when Replit's agent deleted a live database during a code freeze. Julien Zammit, one of three founders in their mid-twenties who started in Lille last January, says every vibe-coded app he scanned was hackable in five minutes. The bug his co-founder Florentin worries about is quieter, an endpoint where user A can read user B's data because nobody wrote that rule down, and their own study had agents ignoring internal rules 88% of the time.
