I work in Finder all day, every day. I have to review and save 100 documents a day. The ONLY thing I miss from Windows is the finder. Is there a finder replacement that allows: Windows like Finder operation OR Collapsible folders on the sidebar. Mostly, I want to leave the folders expanded on the left sidebar and be able to click for access. Having to click 9 folders deep to save a file is getting old. I appreciate a

Hey everybody, I take a lot of notes during the day, most notes are temporary like random ideas, tasks I need to do or something that I want to remember to look up before bed. Antinote performs that role great, but (don't hate the me for it 😄) opening the app, writing it done and closing it SORT OF throws me off the flow... What I have in my mind / looking for It would be amazing to tell claude/codex "Hey add this to

LAUNCH GIVEAWAY: I have 20 codes for 3 months of Pro access. If you’d like one, drop a comment here and DM me so I can send the code. First come, first served. Hey r/macapps, It's finally launch day. I'm the developer of ​MinkNote​. About ten months ago I started building a notes app because I couldn't quite find one that matched the way I wanted to work. I loved different things about Obsidian, Day One, Bear, Apple

Substage is a command prompt bar that attaches to Finder windows, and allows you to perform actions on the items you have selected with natural language. It uses an AI model most of the time, though for hundreds of the most frequent commands don't need to - for example if you type "jpg" with a PNG file selected, it can do so immediately with zero latency. I'm super excited to be releasing version 1.0 today, which inc

Most technically oriented people who value privacy do so because privacy is, and should be, a human right, not because they have something to hide. Maintaining privacy in the current technical environment requires a real strategy and almost constant attention to an evolving landscape. It is no longer enough to block trackers, ads, and cookies. Browser fingerprinting has become one of the primary privacy-violating mec

Click on DayBar in the menu bar to view the calendar, calendar events, and reminders, and it supports synchronization with Apple Calendar.

Hey everybody! We recently released v1.0.0 of our bookmark manager called Shiori. Shiori lives in your menu bar, fully keyboard driven, called with a hot key and saves URLs in seconds, keeping them fully accessible throughout your devices with cloud sync, a web dashboard and plans to reach more platforms such as mobile, browser extensions and more in the future. The funny thing about Shiori is it was a feature reques

Demo App: Nodoo Price: Free IAP: No Subscription: No App Store: [AppStore] Most task managers are either too simple or too complex. Simple apps work well for personal use, but they usually don’t support real collaboration. On the other hand, tools like Notion or Jira are powerful, but they feel heavy and require setup for something as basic as task tracking. I wanted something in between — simple enough to stay fast,

I'd like to get on top of tag-based organization, from folders to files to pictures, etc. There are plenty of apps out there, I know, but I'm looking for personal experiences anyone might have with robust, feature rich tagging apps. Edit: I have tried the native system. Didn’t do it for me.

Hi, I built a small productivity utility called Lantern, an app that allows you to search Google and open full websites without leaving your workspace, with a simple keyboard shortcut. Problem I wanted a simple utility where I could do quick research while I was working or finishing a school assignment. Switching into my browser often broke my train of thought or got me distracted for sometimes 30 minutes at a time,

You're applying to 10+ jobs. You can't remember which ones you followed up on. One spreadsheet turns into mess. JobSnail fixes that — track every application and interview in one clean place, fully synced through iCloud. Comparison: Spreadsheets don't sync well across devices and get messy fast. Tools like Teal or Huntr solve that, but lock features behind a monthly subscription. JobSnail is a native Mac/iOS app with

Substage Substage is a command bar that attaches underneath your Finder window. To use Substage, you select files, type what you want in plain English, and Substage generates a Terminal command, simulates its side effects, and runs it (with confirmation where needed). Think of it less as an AI assistant and more as a natural language interpreter between what you want and the Unix tools built into macOS. The key insig

If you have thousands of photos and can never find the one you want later, VisionTagger may be something for you. It’s a macOS app for Apple Silicon that generates searchable descriptions and keywords for photos fully on-device using local AI, so your library becomes easier to search. Compared with cloud keywording tools, your images and generated metadata stay on your Mac, and there’s no subscription or per-image pr

First App - first post, I needed something where I can structure my day decoupled from the calendar. And something that does not distract me but is there when I need it. Now I have Kairos where I structure my day in the morning create my tasks and add notes on the fly via a shortcut. At the end of the day I simply copy to Jira or GitHub my notes. Kairos is a distraction free focus blocks productivity app that is ther

Hey r/MacApps. With the looming release of macOS 27 I thought I'd announce a major update of Gloss which now includes on device AI integration and significant performance improvements. Here is a video explaining it's feature set: Better than the previous demo video I hope Problem If you use Slack, Discord and even Reddit, you're probably used to typing :thumbsup: or :sob: and having it just turn into the emoji.
