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

Regarding the post from last week talking about the Notepad++ on MacOS: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1swjf8r/a_native_port_of_notepad_is_now_available_for_the/?sort=confidence The original creator of Notepad++ has issued a trademark infringement for the software: Link to his blog: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/npp-trademark-infringement/ Trademark Violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac 2026-05-01 Several

Hi r/macapps, I’m the developer of DockPops. I posted here about a month ago and got a lot of helpful feedback. The two most requested features were live Dock icon previews and the ability to give individual Pops their own Dock icons, so DockPops 3.0 adds both. Problem: The Dock is great, but it tends to become either a mile long or missing half the apps you actually use. macOS Stacks helps, but it is tied to real fo

Problem: Spreadsheet apps like Numbers and Excel can silently reformat CSV data (dates, leading zeros, long numbers) and struggle with large files. Text editors keep the raw data safe, but you lose the grid view. I wanted a dedicated CSV editor that preserves the original format and still feels natural to use. Comparison: Compared with Modern CSV and Easy CSV Editor, I put more focus on making CSV editing feel famili

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

First time posting Lidless here. Some of you might know me from ShiftPlus, which I shared on this sub before. Same solo dev, just a smaller and very different app this time. The feedback here was honest and useful last time, so I'm bringing this one to the same crowd. One bit of honesty up front. Keep-awake apps are not exactly rare on this sub, so fair warning, this is another one. The thing I'll say to set it apart

Problem: When managing an Wifi environment with lots of APs there is hard to follow how the Wifi roaming actually is working.

I hope I don't bother auditorium here by informing you that FileUtils has just been updated to version 1.6.1. Although the version number suggests a minor update, it sports completely rewritten "batch rename file" functionality. It how has modified, more functional sidebar as well as huge speed improvements, especially when working with huge data sets - list of files. For more information, news, updates and support,

Hey r/macapps. We build Wallper, a live wallpaper app for Mac. It just turned a year old, and we shipped our biggest update yet (1.8.0), so I wanted to share it. Some of you have left feedback in past threads here, which I appreciate. Problem If you came from Windows, you probably miss Wallpaper Engine. There's still no native version for Mac. Most Mac options either have a small library or put everything behind a su
