Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Viking, creator of TinyOwl. I run a blog and constantly compress and upload images. Online tools meant sending private files to random servers, while local apps only handled one task at a time. So I built TinyOwl to fix my own daily grind: compress, resize, convert, and upload in a single local workflow. The idea is simple: image optimization should be a fast, local pipeline, not a trip through someone else's server. Why build this? Privacy: Online compressors require uploading your files—a dealbreaker for sensitive screenshots or client work. Friction: Local tools leave you doing everything manually in separate steps. Pricing: Most Mac alternatives push subscription pricing for something you use a few times a week. What TinyOwl does differently: 🔒 100% On-Device: Processing happens locally on your Mac. ⚡️ One-Click Workflows: Save resize + compress + convert + upload rules, then trigger them via menu bar, ⌘V, or Finder. ☁️ Instant Uploads: Option to upload directly to R2, S3, OSS, or COS and instantly copy public links. 💳 Fair Pricing: $9 one-time purchase, 7-day free trial. No subscriptions, no account creation. I’d love your feedback on the workflow approach—especially from creators and developers who deal with media daily. What part of your current image workflow drives you crazy? 🦉
