A native Mac utility that plays up to 144 local video clips at once in a live grid, with portrait-video layouts, on-device framing, and full-size playback controls.

Why it surfaced

VideoBuffet replaces filename-by-filename browsing with a deliberately excessive 12 × 12 video mosaic: users can shuffle up to four independent walls, lock clips in place, and switch to native 2:3 cells for vertical footage. The site is unusually clear about its boundaries too—everything runs locally, with no accounts, uploads, trackers, or ads—and says the app is coming soon to the Mac App Store.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
