Unclack is the small but mighty Mac utility that mutes your microphone while you type. No more getting called out for clacking your way through a Zoom meeting on your clicky keyboard!
Speaking of meta tags in the previous post, the Meta Tags tool has been sitting in my bookmarks for quite a while now:
With Meta Tags you can edit and experiment with your content then preview how your webpage will look on Google, Facebook, Twitter and more!
Drop in an image, type some text, and you’ll get the resulting meta tags come out. Example Output:
<!-- Primary Meta Tags -->
<title>Meta Tags — Preview, Edit and Generate</title>
<meta name="title" content="Meta Tags — Preview, Edit and Generate">
<meta name="description" content="With Meta Tags you can edit and experiment with your content then preview how your webpage will look on Google, Facebook, Twitter and more!">

MirrorDisplays a simple application that toggles between mirrored and extended desktop modes. Itβs the easiest way to turn on, or turn off display mirroring.
Also comes with a (separately installable) CLI tool which makes this pretty interesting
The command line tool is good for giving shell-scripts the power to control display mirroring and opens up the possibility of controlling mirroring remotely over ssh.
usage: mirror [option] Only the first option passed will be applied
-h Print this usage and exit.
-t Toggle mirroring (default behavior)
-on Turn Mirroring On
-off Turn Mirroring Off
-q Query the Mirroring state and write "on" or "off" to stdout
-l A B Makes display at index B mirror the display at index A
Unfortunately not installable using Homebrew, so you’ll have to get the app from the GitHub releases page. You’ll also have to explicitly allow the mirror CLI tool to be opened through the Security & Privacy
π‘ If you’re using a MacBook with only one external display connected you might not need this app, and can use the CMD+F1 shortcut to toggle display mirroring/extending.
To compress and compare images with different codecs right in your browser there’s squoosh.app that you can use.
Announced at the still ongoing Chrome Dev Summit 2020 is Squoosh v2 with new codecs support (AVIF!), an updated design, and the release of CLI version!
Squoosh CLI is an experimental way to run all the codecs you know from the Squoosh web app on your command line using WebAssembly. The Squoosh CLI uses a worker pool to parallelize processing images. This way you can apply the same codec to many images at once.
Squoosh CLI is currently not the fastest image compression tool in town and doesnβt aim to be. It is, however, fast enough to compress many images sufficiently quick at once.
A little tool to generate compound grids. Enter the number of columns for each of your grids, and theyβll be magically merged into a compound grid. Use the output in your grid-template-columns property when using CSS Grid for layout.
