Attempt number two to post this... Survey - what's your current go-to for ai meeting transcription? Given the proliferation meeting transcription apps, I'm wondering what people here are actually using and liking? I've tried several over the last year: Hyprnote (changed its name twice now to "Anarlog"?), Speakr, Transcribe X, Caption Snap and have some other tools that support transcription but I haven't tried becaus

For those who already know me/dropadoo: I promised to continue working on dropadoo, and i do. What's new? After auto-zip and now following the last update with ftp etc. functionality, now with > SFTP SSH Key Authentication: You can now securely connect to your SFTP servers using private SSH keys! We've added full support for importing standard keys (RSA, Ed25519, ECDSA)—including those protected with a passphrase. It

Like most Mac users who enjoy tinkering, I've installed more apps than I'd ever admit publicly. Most come and go. A few stick around. Here are some that have genuinely impressed me lately. Forecast Bar(Monthly Subscription):- I've always had a strange obsession with weather apps, particularly those that offer proper colour icons in the menu bar. Forecast Bar has been around for years, and after a period when it felt

Trust first, since this reads your messages: it runs 100% on your Mac. You point it at the one Messages folder it needs (no Full Disk Access), it indexes locally, nothing is ever uploaded, no account, no cloud - and you can wipe the index anytime. The story: a friend built a small tool for himself that read his iMessage history and surfaced the people he'd quietly drifted from. One night we loaded it with our own thr

Hey r/macapps! I've been building Kulve, a fully native macOS app for watching Twitch streams, and I just got approved for public testing. I'm looking for testers who want a faster, cleaner alternative to watching streams in the browser. What makes Kulve different: Smooth, lag-free playback with minimal CPU usage Native macOS UI (no Electron/web wrapper) Clean, distraction-free viewing experience It's still early, so

Like most people, I’ve installed many reminder apps and ignored all of them like how we all snoozed our alarms. By 4pm my hydration status is usually two coffees and "I should drink more water tomorrow". So I built the app equivalent of a mafia enforcer. Hydration Hostage sits in your menu bar, and on your schedule it takes over your screen. The normal way out is simple: take an actual sip of water. The camera checks

Hey folks, I'm the lead developer of steno and wanted to share our latest update. Steno is a privacy first AI notepad & notetaker for your most sensitive conversations. Problem: Most AI note taking solutions have bots joining your calls, send your data to a third party, working only with one provider (Zoom AI for Zoom) and have usage limits/charge $$ for their service. If you are in government, healthcare, finance or

I'm the developer. I kept emailing the same files to the same people every day (receipts to my accountant, shoots to clients, docs to family) and got tired of opening Mail and re-addressing every time. So I built AutoMailSender. You set up your email + recipients once, then: Drop a file → it's emailed to whoever you pick. No compose window. Folder routing: drop into a watched folder → it auto-sends to the linked pers

Updates: I’ve started a video with audio so you can test the real-time transcription. I specifically chose a clip with clear English, and some with significant background noise and multiple speakers to see how the system performs under pressure. https://www.transcribex.io/captionvideowithaudio.mp4 Problem: Transcription is still mostly after-the-fact. You record first, then wait for processing before you can read mee

Hi folks! This won't be the first 100% local, on-device meeting notes app you've seen recently, so I'll jump straight to what I think makes talat stand out. Timestamps in square brackets if the feature is in the video - if you want to skip to the app in action, skip to about 55s in. The recording experience Automatic call detection: when you join a Meet, Teams, or Zoom call, talat starts recording on its own [00m55s]

My Dell U4025QW during a Teams call. The dashed pink frame is what AnyFrame is sharing. everything outside stays on my Mac. What is shared via Teams, Meet or Zoom. Problem Zoom, Teams, Meet and other video call apps give you the same two options: share your whole screen (and expose every notification, every Slack ping, every browser tab), or share one window (rigid, no side-by-side context). Neither works when you wa

Problem You're recording a video or presenting on Zoom and your eyes keep darting to notes off-screen. Existing teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed, require internet, show up when you share your screen, or cost $15-59/month. Tellie listens. It tracks the actual words you say, not just the sound of your voice, highlights exactly where you are, and stays with you if you skip ahead, go back, or improvise. Tellie lives

As I last posted and trashed Telegram mac UI (compared to its iOS version), they updated their mac UI and it look way better than before and give sidebar a special touch that match with mac element. They also added swipe left and right gesture to this chat. Thank you Telegram Team!

About a month ago I posted my last Bounce Connect update here. Since then I have shipped 1 major update (Bounce38). Here is what actually changed. The biggest additions: Selectable and copyable message text. Message bubbles on Mac now support selecting and copying text directly, plus a right-click "Copy Message" action so you can grab codes, links, addresses, or numbers without retyping them. Notification copy action

It has been three months since one of the biggest changes occurred in this sub with our trust vs. transparency tier-based posting requirements: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1ryaeex/rmacapps_mods_went_too_far_whats_changing_phase_3/ Over the last month, 5,400+ comments and posts have been removed by a combination of Reddit bots, sub automations, and fairly heavy moderation.
