Made a little village that you can join 😄

It grows as more people move in, and new things unlock at each milestone

(still WIP, btw 😄)

@peer_rich Congrats, Peer!

I had to do this with Never Gonna Give You Up

@SledgeDev When did we lose this? 😔

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

Apple had an app on the App Store last night that turns your Mac into a private AI server. A few hours later it was gone.

Harbor runs open-weight models on Apple silicon and pools memory across Macs over Thunderbolt 5. No command line.

The translation in my X tools runs a small open model (GLM 4.7 Flash) on Cloudflare. That's the kind of job I'd happily move to a Mac on my desk, if I trusted my home internet to stay up 😅

Apple is working on a new app called Harbor

Harbor turns your Mac into a private AI inference server. Run open-weight models locally on Apple silicon—your data never leaves your hardware, and nothing reaches the cloud. Connect multiple Mac computers over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified memory, enabling large models and higher concurrency that a single computer can handle alone.

Set up in minutes, not hours Harbor automatically detects your devices over Thunderbolt 5 to form a cluster. Plug in, start, and you’re running—no manual configuration, no command line, no infrastructure expertise required.

Download and run models directly Browse, download, and load open-weight models from within the app. Harbor handles model management so you can focus on the work, not the setup.

Cluster for scale Connect two or more Thunderbolt 5-capable Mac computers and Harbor pools their unified memory into a single inference resource. Run models that exceed any single computer’s capacity, or serve more concurrent requests across your cluster.

Harbor is currently in a private preview under the Claris brand.

@m_zokov I know of some platforms that allow for ads and revenue, if you’re inclined in that new arc 😂

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

@m_zokov Do they have a monetisation program or not really?

@joshmanders I was just about to tag you, Josh 😂

Nobody move, this is a once in a lifetime experience!

@ravartd I wish all my users emailed me about stuff they find

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

A tale in 2 parts:

- User downloads app and starts trial
- They find a bug and send me an email!
- I fix the bug
- They purchase the app

I freaking love this!

@diogomartf I don't know if I would call it a profit on a $10 yearly plan but it does make it worth it 😄

@RaminNasibov This won't look very flattering in a pocket, Ramin!

@lopedetoledo The magnets are clutch because that means that when my dad loses he won't be able to flip the board and throw pieces everywhere

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

@filippkowalski So people know that someone geriatric as me can do it

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

All my side projects are on a subdomain 😄 Except for those that I'm now deploying on Cloudflare
