gm and happy monday! Welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's issue, we're taking a look at a security guard for your laptop, an image-to-video modal by Google, a budgeting app that makes it simple to save, and a forum post about AI taking over social media.

EyesOff is a macOS app that alerts you when someoneâs peeking at your screen. It runs locally, uses on-device vision models, and doesnât upload anything. Just vibes, judgment, and a little on-screen shame.
đ„ Our take: Itâs basically screen-side eye contact detection. Paranoid? Maybe. But also kind of genius. If youâve ever worked in a cafĂ© and minimized your tab just because someone might be looking, this app is for you
Google Whisk 2.0 takes a single still image and turns it into an eight-second animated clip using Veo 2. Itâs part of a Google Labs experiment and available to Google One AI Premium users across 60+ countries.
đ„ Our take: This is peak âbecause we canâ energy from Google, and honestly, itâs kind of fun. It wonât make your next film, but it will turn a vacation photo into something oddly dramatic. Somewhere between a vibe generator and a flex for AI models that are clearly bored of just summarizing PDFs.
Controol is a budgeting tool that tells you what you can safely spend right now. No account syncing. No receipt tracking. Just clear numbers based on what you make and how you split it.
đ„ Our take: I didnât expect to like this. Most budgeting tools make me feel behind before Iâve even started. This one just told me what I had left for groceries and let me move on. No guilt. No graphs. Weirdly refreshing.
What if your next favorite tweet wasnât written by a person? Nika kicked off a thread asking if it makes sense to build a social network where everything is generated by AI. Posts, replies, interactions. All of it.
Some folks saw a creative playground. Others called it a ghost town with good branding. Thereâs also a side tangent about removing logins entirely, because maybe the real problem is people trying to log in at all.
If youâve got thoughts on AI hanging out without us, this oneâs for you.
