content: 2026-05-05 capture run — 28 finds, 2 reviews, set-pick tooling

Captured 27 finds from the daily sweep across 15 sources (Daring
Fireball, HN Show HN, Kottke, Wallpaper, Outbound, Uncommon Goods,
Kikkerland, BIFL, Quote Investigator, Marginalian, r/dadjokes,
icanhazdadjoke, r/shortcuts, Recomendo, Messy Nessy) plus one user-
suggested find (valchoose-barf-bags) and 11 additional reader-
suggestion finds (appcleaner, blip, cleanmykeyboard, clocker,
daisydisk, ia-writer, launchos, macfolio, mos, vivid, wallspace).

New reviews: monitorcontrol (graduated from today's reader
suggestion, category interface) and blip (graduated from today's
reader suggestion, category indie). Both registered in hero.ts.

Site tooling: new dev-only POST /api/set-pick middleware that
rewrites HERO_SLUG in src/pages/index.astro for the Make today's
pick action. EditConfirm reworked to support a non-copy "set-pick"
mode; EditAction takes action and slug props; the reviews template
switches the toolbar button over to the new wiring.

Log + candidate-sources updated. Two new candidates: Routinehub.co
and Moss & Fog.

description: "Native Swift Mac app for 4K live wallpapers with hardware-accelerated playback, multi-monitor support, and a typical CPU draw under 2%."
---
The case against a live wallpaper has always been the fan noise. Wallspace is a native Swift app built around hardware-accelerated playback, so a 4K loop runs at 60fps under 2% CPU — quiet enough to leave on through a video call. Each display gets its own loop, you can drop in any MP4 file from the disk without re-encoding, and the lock screen gets the same treatment on macOS 26+. Free with a one-time $8.99 Pro tier for the curated 4K catalog and lock-screen support.
