Hermes Desktop TL;DR at bottom I was scrolling through my GitHub feed a couple days ago and stumbled upon a cool-looking OSS tool called Hermes. It's marketed as "The agent that grows with you." Furthermore, I remembered seeing it mentioned in other places as well - Twitter, YouTube... First Impressions Anyways, I went ahead and downloaded the Hermes desktop app on my Mac. Initially, I had downloaded the wrong app. A

Hey! I've been working on this app for almost 4 years and my goal is to make network traffic analysis easier for everyone. Since my previous post last year in this sub was of interest for many, today I'm here to share that Sniffnet has been recently updated to version 1.5 and, among other new features, it now allows to see the list of apps and programs that are using your network bandwidth, making it a step closer to

I'm currently using TelemetryDeck, thinking of switching to PostHog's free tier to get finer grain data. What do you use and why?

Last September I put Actvt in front of you all here, It's a menu-bar system monitor app for Mac, the kind of thing you glance at to see and close what's actually eating your CPU, GPU and memory resources without keeping Activity Monitor open all day (and if you run AI coding agents like Claude or Codex, it shows you what those sessions are doing and costing). It got 60-something comments, and honestly most of them we

If you use raycast, you're probably impressed at what all it can do. Well as a developer, I was as well, and I decided that maybe I could make my own version, thats open source, just to check out how raycast worked under the hood and what all bugs they had to trudge through. That lead to the birth of my own tiny launcher, that I've recently been developing like crazy. There wasn't really any problem, just that I was

Hi r/macapps — I’m the developer of Neon Vision Editor, a lightweight native editor for macOS (also available on iPhone and iPad). It is built with Swift/SwiftUI for people who want a focused editor for code, Markdown, notes, and large text files—without Electron, accounts, telemetry, subscriptions, or IDE-scale complexity. Problem The challenge my app addresses is the need for a truly native, lightweight text and co

For all of us who run stuff at home — homelabbers, self-hosters, tinkerers — I built Tempo: a small, native Mac app (~13MB) that pulls what your setup is doing onto one live timeline. The problem To know what's actually going on, you've got Home Assistant in one tab, an uptime monitor in another, backups somewhere else, the network gear's UI buried in a bookmark. You end up opening five things just to confirm everyth

Dev here, 20 years in. Built Editorio for myself a while back because nothing on the mac did everything I wanted in one place. It's polished enough now that I figured I'd share it. Subscription text editor. Subscription notes app. Subscription markdown previewer. (lol). We live in the future. Macs have neural engines, and the industry's answer to "I want a nice text editor" is 4.99/month to render # heading as bold t

Hey! I'm back with another update. Thanks for the reactions to the previous posts, I appreciate the feedback! The new version adds support for creating Linux and Windows USB installers. For Linux, the app automatically detects the distribution, architecture, and system version. For Windows, it identifies the version and architecture, supporting standard and Server editions. The created Windows USB is UEFI only and su

Anyone using Pearcleaner having any issues installing or updating homebrew apps.

I've built a macOS app for Google Search Console. Enjoy a native interface for viewing website performance (clicks/impressions), managing sites, adding sitemaps and more. The new macOS client provides a macOS interface for the existing iOS app and includes pop-out graphs. https://apps.apple.com/app/search-panel-search-console/id6745721627 Problem: Google's Search Console website has no dashboard, a clunky interface a

Hi everyone, This week, three of my apps went live on Setapp's new single-app marketplace: Taphouse — GUI for Homebrew. Browse, install, update, and manage packages without typing brew commands. Manage services, taps, and Brewfiles from one interface. Some of you might remember this one from my launch post a few months back. MacPulse — System monitor with an Insights Engine that explains your Mac in plain English. In
