Creative & media

Tried VLC and IINA but they don't have the features I need. I need a media player which has a hotkey which will send the now playing file to the trash.

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

Avidemux is my primary choice when for quick video editing (cutting of joining video files), because it does not recode the whole output-file again. However, the official version / source (https://avidemux.sourceforge.net) seems not to be maintained anymore (last version 2021) and it's an Intel based app, which will no longer work in a future version of MacOS. Recently I stumbled upon this site, which claims to be no

I built and released a Mac app I always wanted to exist: Glassboard let's you draw over anything on your Mac, across every app and every screen, Khan-academy style! Problem: Want to highlight something you're presenting? Need to doodle something quickly? Hold a keybind and draw over anything on your Mac. Release and it fades away. That's all! Well, except colors, shapes, a radial menu switcher and keybinds galore. Bu

VidCrop is a simple video cropping and speed control tool that lets you select regions with your mouse and adjust playback speed, making video editing fast and easy. Problem: While working on Videoer, some users requested a cropping feature but didn’t want to install heavy video editing software. I also didn’t want to bloat Videoer, so I built VidCrop as a separate app. Comparison: VidCrop is ultra-lightweight with a

Hi, does anyone know of any image editing software that lets me change the resolution of multiple images in a batch? The resolution should be freely scalable, meaning it shouldn't be tied to the image's width and height.

What is it? RetroMac transforms your entire Mac into a retro machine. Not just with shaders, but with full OS themes. Pick Windows 98, XP, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, BeOS or Snow Leopard and your Dock, Menu Bar, window frames, system icons... everything instantly looks like that era. Add CRT glow, VHS flicker or Game Boy filters on top. Apply it to the whole screen, a specific display, or a single window. Even your webcam.

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

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of Aspect Ratio Calculator, a native Mac utility for calculating aspect ratios and preparing exact-size image assets. Problem A lot of image-sizing work is annoyingly repetitive: calculate the missing width or height, keep the ratio locked, resize to an exact final size, avoid stretching, preview whether the image will fit or crop correctly, then export or copy the right values for web

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

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

Tag: Paid (Free trial) Problem: Most writing apps fall into two camps: bare text editors that just hold your words, or AI tools that try to write the words for you. As a novelist, neither helps with the actual hard part keeping a 90,000-word manuscript consistent in your head. You scroll back constantly to check what color a character's eyes were, whether a plot point already happened, or where your pacing went slack

Disclosure: I'm the developer. Transparency: https://getspectro.app/privacy · https://getspectro.app/terms Problem Record pools and digital stores regularly distribute MP3-encoded audio inside WAV or AIFF containers "fake lossless" or upconverted audio. The file size looks right, the extension looks right, but the spectral frequency cutoff gives it away. On a high-end system it's immediately audible. Finding these fi
