Problem: I don’t like the process of importing my photos inside a black boxed app, I don’t know what happens with them and how i’ll back them up, and it’s probably a trauma from the iTunes days when importing music was duplicating and hiding it. That’s why I use Adobe Bridge to manage my photos. The problem with Bridge though is that it’s an extremely heavy app and slow to launch, cpu and memory intensive, and my las

Curlo is a 100% local, AI-powered macOS app built for people who work with large local audio assets, including sound designers, video editors, music producers, and audio post-production professionals. Problem: I’m also a part-time audiobook post-production editor, so Curlo came from my own frustration with managing and finding sounds in local audio libraries. Traditional audio asset managers usually depend on filenam

Hey r/macapps, I built Castly, a simple Mac screen recording app focused only on recording. Problem: I wanted a screen recording app that also captures the webcam, so product demos and similar videos feel more alive. At the same time, I wanted something lightweight and easy to use, without editing, timelines, or extra workflow complexity. Castly lets you record the full screen, a window, or an area, optionally includ

Hi everyone, I want to share with you my app, Onirica: it lets you generate, edit, restore images fully offline on your Apple Silicon Mac (one-time $12.99) Problem Most AI image tools need a subscription and send your prompts and photos to a cloud server. I wanted something private and one-time-purchase, so I built Onirica: a native Mac app that generates, edits and restores images with a full AI model that runs enti

Testing 3d device interaction Hey everyone, I've been building a macOS screen recording app, Smooth Capture, and wanted to share the July update. About the app Smooth Capture is a native Mac app for making polished app demo videos. You can record your Mac, iPhone/iPad over USB, or iOS Simulator, then add zooms, captions, cursor effects, webcam, music, annotations, and device frames in one timeline. Problem Making a g

Problem: Reddit users wanted to turn FocusCursor’s drawing board tool into a full screenshot tool while keeping the same smooth annotation features. Comparison: Compared with CleanShot X and Shottr, Scap focuses more on creative editing and visual creation after capturing screenshots. CleanShot X excels at capture workflows and cloud sharing, while Shottr focuses on lightweight and fast screenshots. Scap provides a r

Hey everyone! My name is Zaid, and today I’m sharing a new update for Dina. I posted here a few months back looking for feedback on a screen recorder I built. I received a lot of feedback, advice both positive and negative and listened carefully. Spent the last month rebuilding the whole thing around cloud sharing. You can now record a video, and export the videos as shareable links instantly. You can connect your ow

Hi, I'm Flora. I'm an individual developer. Here is my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/flora-wang-9a028a407/ I've been building GeekLink(https://geeklink.dev/) for almost five months. Problem: Most of the products for subtitle editing are separated. Usually, you have to use a transcription tool to get the subtitles, use another tool to translate them, and then transfer to another tool to burn subtitles. I am ti

Hi everyone! I'm Yanis, I've been a programmer-in-love for the past 32 years (no, I'm - paradoxically - not as old as you may imagine lol), a professional Mac developer for the past 16 years at least, with several of my apps also in the MAS and the lead developer of the Arturo programming language. And... I'm here to tell you about my recent bundle: essentially, it's everything you may see on enSili.co - including po

Problem I built Contact Sheet because Finder, Quick Look, and full photo libraries can all feel surprisingly clunky when all you want to do is review a folder of images quickly. Sometimes I do not want to import files, create albums, wait for indexing, sync to a cloud service, or maintain a giant catalog. I just want to: open a local folder visually scan everything inside it find the right image move on So I made a t

Hey everyone, I posted OpenVox here about a month ago when it was around version 1.4. Since then I’ve been shipping updates pretty aggressively, and the app is now at v1.6.4. Just wanted to come back and say thanks, because a lot of the improvements were directly because of feedback I got from r/macapps People pointed out rough edges, asked for better audiobook support, asked for automation/API use cases, reported bu

This is a review. I am not the developer. I've been listening to audiobooks since they were called books on tape. I progressed from there to CDs and then to miscellaneous downloads. These days, the gold standard format, at least for Apple fans, is audiobooks packaged as single M4B files regardless of the book's length, complete with chapters and metadata. That way you can stop and start listening without searching fo

Hey everyone, I've been building a macOS screen recording app, SmoothCapture, over the past few months and wanted to share where it's at right now. I first shared it here a while ago. Back then it felt like just another screen recorder. Since then I've been using it daily for my own work and kept improving it based on small frustrations I ran into. About the app Native Swift + Metal screen recorder built exclusively

Lots to share from the last month! Mojave Paint is my Mac-first professional image editing software with the credo that "90's software was the best software" and also that "AI can shove it." The app itself now has Adjustment Layers, just the basic six so far (solid fill, gradient fill, curves, levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation) for non-destructive adjustments to the layer stack below. See all the release no
