Show HN: Someone Was Here – Find out who used your Mac while you were away

2026-11-09 @ 18:50:56Points: 83Comments: 31

It takes a photo of whoever uses your Mac while you're away, whether you left it unlocked or they know your password, and sends their photo to your iPhone if the face isn't yours.

I built Someone Was Here as a menu bar app making use of Apple Vision and a local face recognition run via Core ML. It all runs locally on your Mac with no tracking or ads.

Real-time remote alerts are available via one-time $4.99 lifetime purchase via the free companion iPhone/iPad app, Pushover, ntfy, Telegram or a webhook.

Show HN: MeowDisplay Is iPhone Mirroring, but in Reverse

2026-11-09 @ 18:39:22Points: 86Comments: 35

Github: https://github.com/raiseCatError/meowdisplay

EDIT 2: I should've mentioned that MeowDisplay started as a fork of OpenDisplay: https://github.com/peetzweg/opendisplay which provided the foundational screen capture, virtual display, encoding and iPhone/iPad receivers. I've since taken it in a more phone-first direction, with work on the interaction, streaming and security layers. I've credited OpenDisplay and its developer Philip in the README under "Built on OpenDisplay".

MeowDisplay is my take on the control your Mac from your phone scene. Available on iPhones, iPads and Macs, with Android rn in closed testing.

The website has interactive illustrative demos if you'd like to see the app demonstrated.

I think MeowDisplay does a few things differently, some of which I prefer and you might too.

Such as Window view: allowing multiple tabs in split-screen type panes. Traditional Mirror/Extend views exist as alternatives. Floating windows: coming in the 2.1 release.

Touch input approaches: Direct Touch(Classic or Natural), experimental Smart Touch, and Trackpad mode alongside Apple Pencil support. Doesn't sacrifice display space for a trackpad, use all of the phone's screen with your preferred mode.

Stage Peek: shows a scrollable and searchable list of your Mac's windows on your phone along with an app drawer when you hold and pull on the left edge of your screen.

It's free and open source so you can try it and see if it's for you without having to commit to it or anything.

EDIT: I've used MeowDisplay during development whilst I was travelling between cities, left my acbook at home clamshell, powered, external display attached, and used it for small tasks remotely, it was pretty reliable even on a 5G network on a moving bus.

Meow, Jai

Show HN: Every satellite that passed over any place this week, and its photos

2026-11-09 @ 17:51:31Points: 294Comments: 48

type in any place and it finds every satellite that passed over it in the last 7 days (SGP4 on the CelesTrak catalog, tracking 17k+ objects and runs in your browser in about half a second), then pulls the real Sentinel-2 / Landsat / NASA images from those passes.

fun fact: all ~17k objects in orbit are drawn on the GPU, solving Kepler's equation every frame. also cool is that Sentinel-2 timestamps are often 5-10 min off from when the sat actually crosses your spot, so some cool math was involved in making it accurate on the site.

it only shows real images taken from those exact satellites, and it never store your location.

would love feedback, contributions, or whatever else you guys can offer!
