Developer & IT

I was wondering if anyone has experience using an app to monitor file system changes for the purpose of uninstalling applications, I found a tool called FSMonitor, which seems to do that. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I assume it tracks which application created each file, allowing you to locate all files created by that app and completely uninstall it.

About 3 months ago I posted BetterStage here. The honest feedback was: "looks interested, but it needed more work", and I made the comparisons sound like BetterStage was the only way. Fair on all counts. There are a lot of window managers / workspace managers that are great for a lot of people, at the end of the day it's down to personal taste and preference. I'm not here to pretend otherwise. Edit: Thank you all for

By the way, Rilmazafone is used to make the DMG for Rilmazafone Problem: when I started developing macOS applications, I realized that there is no easy solution for making DMG files. Sure, there are plenty of CLI tools, but they require you to rebuild and check that your inputs are correct, they have tons of parameters that you need a manual to understand. .DS_Store is an old format with no documentation. Comparison:

Problem: The built-in Activity Monitor is solid, but once you need deeper insights or faster workflows, it quickly becomes limiting. ProcessSpy is designed to give power users richer data and more control without dropping into Terminal. Comparison: ProcessSpy vs. Activity Monitor: Compared to Activity Monitor, the free version of ProcessSpy includes: Menu bar popover More detailed process information such as Version,

This tool can convert any SVG icon into custom SF Symbols. The generated files can be directly imported into Xcode and used in UIKit and SwiftUI projects. Problem: Manually creating custom SF Symbols is tedious and error-prone. Developers need to manually create compatible templates, adjust vector paths, and repeatedly ensure that icons render properly in Xcode, resulting in extremely low development efficiency. Comp

I have been a C++ developer for over a decade, and while learning Objective-C I was happy to find out that Xcode gives this awesome possibility to support much older macOS versions with minimal effort while still using a modern SDK. Many users keep older Macs for years. Some of those Macs cannot be updated because Apple drops hardware support. So being able to support old macOS versions is not just some legacy develo

Divulgation : Je fais partie de l’équipe d’Oriloq et je gère la communauté. Notre développeur, Nicolas, a créé l’application. Il ne s’occupe pas des réseaux sociaux, c’est donc moi qui publie et je peux lui transmettre directement tout problème technique dans les commentaires. Problème La dictée sur Mac implique généralement un compromis. Les outils rapides et précis envoient souvent l’audio à un serveur, ce qui a un

Problem Mac disks fill up faster than they should, and general cleaners miss most of it. CleanMyMac, DaisyDisk, OnyX, they each cover their slice but you still end up running terminal commands quarterly to prune Docker, delete node_modules across repos, nuke Xcode DerivedData, drop unused iOS simulator runtimes, clear JetBrains caches, hunt the Cargo target dir that grew to 12GB, find the multi-GB framework logs hidi

Hey everyone! What started as a small diagnostic tool to figure out why my Thunderbolt daisy chain wasn’t working has evolved into something much more useful that I wanted to share. ViewPorts shows every device and connection on your Mac, right in your menu bar. It walks the entire USB and Thunderbolt tree, including hubs, and surfaces details like total power draw, per-port power usage, speed, and connection type. C

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

I built AppUFO.app to Localise iOS Apps with AI. It translates the xcstrings file from Xcode in a few seconds. Problem Some weeks ago I went to localize one of my Apps. This was my first time localizing an iOS App. I quickly realised how long the process takes (3days+) & how expensive it is ($100+ for each language). This is not acceptable in 2026 with all the AI. So instead of working on that app, I took a tangent a

I think a lot of you know Mowglii and the app Itsycal, it's been mentioned here multiple times, and it's just a little, perfect menu bar calendar. I recently visited his website and discovered MDV, a free Markdown viewer for Mac.

I'm prototyping a new interaction for a terminal app I plan to build. The idea is to keep the number of visible terminal panes limited, but give the pane management a bit more macOS flare. Panes can be rearranged via drag and drop, minimized, resized, and auto-resized. I would love to hear whether this kind of UI clicks for you or feels like overkill. Honest reactions welcome.

A lot of you already know AutoBrew. Since the first release I've received quite a few feature requests and had some ideas myself. So here's a new update. AutoBrew is a GUI for Homebrew aimed at Mac users who don't want to manage everything through the Terminal. New in this version are Collections, better Orphan handling and Brew Doctor integration. The video shows everything in detail. Problem Homebrew is great, but

Hey r/macapps, I've been building Port22 for the last few months. I run a few AI coding agents at once, Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, and I found myself stuck at my desk because of them. They stop every few minutes to ask permission to run a command, and nothing happens until someone says yes. Port22 is a menu bar app for your Mac and an iPhone app. Every agent running on your Mac shows up in one list on your phon
