Hi hackers!
I'm a self-taught solo teenage dev
ever wanted to show what you're doing right now on the internet?
well I've been wanting to for a while, so I built Lynk, a lightweight macOS app that tracks your active apps, window titles, and daily usage in real time, and broadcasts that data over WebSockets. Oh and it also updates whenever you switch apps to connected clients!
No SDKs, no APIs — just local tracking + a websocket endpoint you can ping from any language.
