I spent almost 5 months to build an all-in-one subtitle editor for Mac

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

Arbento - Story intelligence for novelists, fully native on Mac & iOS

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

Contact Sheet - A photo manager for your Mac.

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

Mojave Paint 1.3 with Layer Styles

This was so much work, but also the most requested feature. When I first started using Photoshop heavily in 2003 it was primarily as a web design tool, I had a bunch of layers with boxes and lines I'd drag around, group into folders, and put Color Overlay on so I could fine tune the perfect shade of gray or whatever. That one, and Stroke and Drop Shadow should be super useful for anybody. Not sure how much Bevel is a

Pict-o-view — a fast folder-based photo and video viewer for Mac

I am the developer of Pict-o-view, a native Mac photo and video viewer. Problem When I want to look through a folder of photos on my Mac, I either have to import everything into a managed library first, or open files one at a time. I wanted to point an app at a folder and page through what is inside, and have it handle RAW and video too. Pict-o-view does that. Add a folder and it shows what is in it instantly. Nothin

I built Dina, a screen recorder that creates beautiful screen video and instant shareable links

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

flickery – the full-featured flickr client for Mac – is now free

Hi everybody, my app flickery has been around since 2008. But in recent years, I haven't been able to update it much, and SmugMug, despite my hopes, did nothing to further their (otherwise great) flickr APIs, so I've decided to put flickery on “life support” and make it free on the Mac App Store. It continues to work just fine – its UI is a blast from the Mac OS X Leopard past –, and I will try my best to keep it run

[Giveaway] OpenVox 2.0 is out - Local AI voice generation on Mac, now with Supertonic 3, better cloning, M4B audiobooks, and Local API

Hey everyone, I posted OpenVox here about a month ago when it was around v1.6.4. Since then, I’ve shipped quite a lot based on feedback from this subreddit, and OpenVox is now at v2.0.0. First, thank you. A lot of the improvements came directly from people here who tried the app, reported bugs, asked for better audiobook support, wanted faster models, requested API/automation use cases, and pointed out rough edges I

Mojave Paint 1.2 is released (now with Adjustment Layers)

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

Iris: The Mac Photo App for People Who Don't Trust iCloud With 80,000 Photos

TL;DR: Iris is a Mac photo viewer that indexes photos where they already exist (folder, external drive, or your existing Apple Photos library) instead of importing them into a managed database. It does on-device face recognition, OCR/speech search, and a real map (Photo Trails) that plots every geotagged photo so you can browse by location. No cloud, no account, no subscription; one-time purchase, 14-day trial. It's
