Fox Issue Tracker—An indie dev project companion

Problem: While there are many ways to track issues, I've always felt that few fully developed tools focus on indie developers—those who have less need for complex sprint-based workflows, but for whom lists in Notes or Reminders aren't quite enough. I also wanted a solid app for keeping track of my own projects: one that integrated with the system and iCloud, and just felt natural to use in both the ecosystem and my w

Avocado update. Mac teleprompter

Some of you might have seen I posted a little over a month ago about Avocado. Avocado is an invisible for screen sharing or recording teleprompter that hides in your notch, but can also float anywhere on the screen. Still free and has a one time payment to unlock all the features. Despite a very saturated space and a rather niche product, I got really positive feedback - a lot of people wanted to try it, and quite a

[OS] Neon Vision Editor 0.8.8 — a native, privacy-first code & text editor for macOS and iPadOS

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

File Deep Info 3.1.5: I made File Deep Info that helps you deeply inspect hidden & embedded file data: Checksum/Hex, EXIF, metadata, spoofed format detection & forensic privacy analysis

The Problem: As a developer and data security engineer, I regularly handle files from unknown or untrusted sources. My old workflow was messy and fragmented: separate tools for checksums, hex viewing, EXIF lookup, and document metadata review. It gets risky and time-consuming when you need to verify if a file extension is fake, inspect nested content inside Office/iWork/PDF files, uncover incomplete redactions, or au

Prototyping a new pane UI for my terminal app - WDYT?

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.

[Lifetime] AnyFrame: Just launched on the Mac App Store. Share any region of your screen in video calls

My Dell U4025QW during a Teams call. The dashed pink frame is what AnyFrame is sharing. everything outside stays on my Mac. What is shared via Teams, Meet or Zoom. Problem Zoom, Teams, Meet and other video call apps give you the same two options: share your whole screen (and expose every notification, every Slack ping, every browser tab), or share one window (rigid, no side-by-side context). Neither works when you wa
