Limelight spotlights cursor, keystrokes on Mac

Limelight is a native, local-first macOS utility that helps presenters and educators highlight their cursor, overlay keystrokes, and draw on-screen during recordings or live streams. Operating entirely offline without accounts, the app is available for a one-time purchase of $9 following a 7-day free trial.

// ANALYSIS

A welcome return to simple, high-utility native utility apps that avoids the subscription-fatigue of modern SaaS.

* Local-first design guarantees maximum privacy, security, and offline reliability.

* Simple, single-payment model ($9 once) is highly compelling for creators and educators.

* Works globally across all desktop apps without requiring specialized application integrations.

* Currently limited to macOS, missing a large potential user base on Windows and Linux.

erm is a command-line tool that transcribes English speech with Whisper and automatically removes filler words using FFmpeg crossfades.

erm is an open-source command-line tool that transcribes audio using Whisper and splits out disfluencies like "um" and "uh" with clean FFmpeg crossfading. It uses faster-whisper for speech-to-text and performs multiple detection passes, including gap analysis, duration-based spotting, and embedded filler detection to locate filler words. To ensure the edits sound natural and seamless, the tool aligns cuts to zero-crossings, applies adaptive crossfades, and matches room tone to prevent audible clicks or abrupt shifts in background noise.

Researcher defends clinical AI tools

AI researcher Dr. Tanishq Mathew Abraham pushes back on the interpretation of a viral study comparing generalist large language models to clinical decision support tools like OpenEvidence and UpToDate. He clarifies that the paper does not prove domain-specific models are obsolete, noting that clinical tools function as integrated products with guardrails, user interfaces, and workflow integrations, rather than raw foundation models.
