Left unbundled for the ~07-12 week's catch or a later themed bundle: kaset, locklines, chiptune-radio, wound-man, nashville-parthenon, hastings-kool-aid-museum, uco-stormproof-match-kit, plus the la-fontaine quote and the six jokes. Not padded into today's bundle, per the skill.
## 2026-07-08 — review: reclips
Graduated from find captured 2026-07-08, source: r/macapps.
Hero: reused the find's own hero.png (1042×586 inline screenshot from reclips.app showing the clipboard bubble anchored at the text caret) — copied to reviews/reclips/hero.png. The site's own screenshot already is the ideal hero (it shows the one differentiating feature), so no richer asset was needed.
Category: clipboard (new — nothing existing covered clipboard managers; "input" and "interface" were near-misses. Should recur for paste/clipboard tools).
Fact-check (reclips.app, via curl — the site 403s WebFetch): find held up and was undersold; no corrections needed (nothing in the find was wrong). Confirmed the core IME-style bubble-at-caret — hotkey ⌃V, arrow to pick, paste in place — works across Terminal, native apps, browsers (Safari/Chrome), and Electron apps (VS Code/Slack) via Accessibility. Added facts the find omitted: clipboard history is encrypted on disk, never uploaded, tied to no account, and passwords copied from password managers are explicitly never captured; each clip has type-aware inline actions (open URL, Markdown link, color code, image preview); four themes; ten languages. Commercials: 7-day free trial, then a one-time $4.99 "Lifetime" license (future updates included, 7-day refund); native direct download; macOS 13 Ventura or later on both Apple Silicon and Intel. A genuinely cheap, single-idea utility — the strongest pick-of-the-day candidate for breadth and tile legibility.
Amazon: n-a (software).
## 2026-07-08 — review: whimfiles
Graduated from find captured 2026-07-08, source: Hacker News — Show HN.
Hero: reused the find's own hero.png (2344×1530 "features/filtering" screenshot from whimfiles.com) — copied to reviews/whimfiles/hero.png.
Category: files (new — no existing file-manager category; reusable for future Finder alternatives).
Fact-check (whimfiles.com): find held up and undersold it. Confirmed native macOS, "app size only around 9 MB," and the filter-first model (live filter by type/date/size + a "Fuzzy Go to Folder" box). Corrected the framing — it's not merely a fuzzy-find launcher but a full modern file manager: dual-pane, tabs, image/PDF hover previews, batch rename with live preview, recursive search, a command palette (⇧⌘A), a bookmarks/volumes sidebar, undo for moves/trash, and built-in HEIC/WebP/AVIF conversion. Softened the find's "no Electron bloat" to the site's own "Native macOS · ~9 MB" wording (the site doesn't itself invoke Electron). Commercials: one-time $19.99 launch price (regular $24.99), 30-day trial with no credit card, "pay once, no subscription"; developer WhimByte; direct download via Lemon Squeezy, not the Mac App Store. Honest limits stated in the review: Apple Silicon only, macOS 12+, and no published version history yet (new app).
