Hey everyone! Some of you might remember this post from a year ago that I made about Mactify (it's the #1 result when you Google "mac spotify connect client" which is crazy to me). For those of you that missed it, I made Mactify as a clean Spotify Connect client. I love to listen to music on my iPhone (love Headphone Accomodations, everything sounds much more full) but I hated that there wasn't an easy way to control

Hey r/macapps! I’ve been working on a passion project called iCharm, and I’m excited to finally share it with you all. If you miss the nostalgic era of desktop companions/pets but want something built modernly for macOS with a clean, high-quality aesthetic, this is for you. What is iCharm? It brings hyper-realistic, beautifully animated interactive creatures and objects (like animated fruits and little companions) st

TL;DR: Mira is a small (5.6 MB), native Mac app that makes YouTube calm and pleasant: no Shorts, no sponsor segments, no recommendation rabbit hole. It folds SponsorBlock, Return YouTube Dislike, searchable transcripts, optional bring-your-own-key AI summaries, Picture-in-Picture, background audio, and a real Focus Mode into one signed app instead of the pile of browser extensions you have to maintain on your on.

Hey r/macapps, I last posted about Eter, our internet radio app for Apple devices, when version 2.0 shipped. It's been a while. Krystian originally built and released it five years ago, and we brought it into the Apparent Software fold so the team could keep growing it together. We’re a small Mac but 20-year old shop (you might know Trickster, ImageFramer, or Cashculator), and Eter is the one we built to do exactly o

A while back I posted looking for the best macOS video player in terms of image quality and UI. That led me down a rabbit hole of testing more players than I expected, so I figured I'd share what I found. Quick disclaimer: I have basic knowledge in this area, so this is a hobbyist test, not a professional analysis. Take it with that in mind. How I tested I generated an SMPTE HD color bars video (BT.709 tagged, FFmpeg

Problem This is a fast-paced top-down 2D shooter inspired by old-school arena shooters (CS2D vibes or CS 1.6 but in 2D), built natively for macOS. Comparison Inspired by CS2D and Counter-Strike 1.6, but built specifically for macOS with a smoother native experience. The game is tiny (5MB to 8MB depending on the platform) Pricing Free to download: https://apps.apple.com/app/counter-rumble/id6774718745 Note: This is an

Version 2.6 just dropped on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/analog-tv-simulator/id6761325301 Problem: You want the most realistic simulation of AnalogTV possible for nostalgia, video effects, retro gaming, watching retro video or even just to learn how AnalogTV worked.
