😸 Make your Mac speak

gm legends, happy Tuesday.

SuperShrimp is here to call out your desk goblin posture in real time, MacYaps gives your Mac a voice so it can react to everything you do, and Alpha Day is coming Thursday: first-time launches only, plus a separate leaderboard for the fresh stuff.

This Thursday is Alpha Day on Product Hunt.

It’s for products launching for the first time. Not relaunched. Not already out in the wild. Proper first swing.

Alpha launches get their own PH Alpha Day leaderboard and a boost to their points, so brand-new products have a better shot at getting seen before the usual suspects take over. We’re also turning up the incentive to actually be useful: comments will matter more, and makers who jump in and leave thoughtful comments on other Alpha launches can earn more points too.

So if you’ve been building quietly and waiting for the right moment to put it in front of people, this is a pretty good one.

Get it in by tomorrow midnight PST to be part of Thursday’s Alpha Day.

SuperShrimp uses your MacBook camera to catch you slouching while you work. It gives you a live posture score, sends alerts when you start folding into your laptop, keeps everything local and offline, and adds XP so better posture actually levels something up.

🔥 Our Take: The whole thing works because it is a little embarrassing. You open it for posture help, then suddenly you are sitting up straighter because you do not want to see how bad it’s gotten. Annoyingly effective.

Customer.io is built for startups that have outgrown batch-and-blast. You can trigger messages based on what users actually do, run email, SMS, push, and in-app from one place, and build more complex journeys without waiting on engineering every time. It also lets you personalize messages with your own data, so the whole thing feels a lot less generic. (Promoted)

MacYaps is a menu bar app that gives your Mac a voice for real system events like low battery, Wi-Fi drops, charger changes, CPU spikes, and USB connections. You can use its voice packs or load your own sounds, depending on how annoying you want this to become.

🔥 Our Take: First we got the app that makes your Mac moan when you slap it. Now we’ve got one that turns the whole computer into a little character. Feels like we are two launches away from people getting emotionally attached to their MacBook.
