FluidAudio
FluidAudio is a high-performance Swift framework for on-device speaker diarization and audio processing, designed to meet research standards.
The goal is to maximize performance per watt by leveraging CoreML models exclusively. All models have been manually converted from open-source variants and are available on Hugging Face.
Why you will like it:
Research-competitive speaker separation with optimal speaker mapping.
Models run efficiently on Apple's ANE for maximum performance with minimal power consumption.
Generate speaker embeddings for voice comparison and clustering.
Native Apple CoreML backend with custom-converted models optimized for Apple Silicon and iOS.
Support for streaming audio processing with minimal latency.
Full support for macOS 13.0+ and iOS 16.0+.
Professional benchmarking tools with beautiful tabular output.
PlayCover
PlayCover allows you to run iOS apps and games on Apple Silicon Macs with a mouse, keyboard, and controller.
Why you will like it:
Run iOS apps and games on Apple Silicon devices running macOS 12.0 or higher.
Apps run through a wrapper that makes them look like iPads. As a result, the apps run natively and perform well.
You can also map custom touch controls to the keyboard. The controls include WASD, camera movement, left and right clicks, and individual key mapping.
You can run a lot of apps on it. Some games may have bugs, and not all games are supported.
FlashSpace
FlashSpace is a virtual workspace manager for macOS, designed to enhance and replace native macOS Spaces. No more waiting for macOS animations.
Why you will like it:
Blazingly fast workspace switching.
All workspaces can be previewed and switched between on multiple displays.
Manage apps and workspaces using the keyboard.
Activate workspace in app focus.
Auto-center the cursor in the active window.
Configurable icons & text (per workspace).
Customize swipe gesture actions for your trackpad.
Configuration through a GUI and a config file.
Support for multiple config file formats: JSON, YAML, and TOML.
