Hey everyone 👋 A few months ago, I launched the first version of FilesMagicAI here, and the feedback helped us rethink the product a lot and we relaunched it with V2 with a chat based interface. We got lots of feedback and refined our software to get it ready for product hunt launch. Product Hunt launch is now live: https://www.producthunt.com/products/files-magic-ai/launches/ai-file-agent-organizer-system-cleaner Th

Today we launched Paste 6.6 with MCP, a new way to bring clipboard history into AI tools on Mac. Paste is clipboard manager for Mac and iOS. With Paste MCP, tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients can access your Paste history and pinboards. A lot of useful context lives in things you copied earlier. Links, notes, snippets, screenshots, docs, prompts, random research. Paste MCP le

Has anyone tried Clicky? I find it both useful and confusing at the same time. I saw Farza (the Buildspace guy) posting about it on Twitter and decided to try it out. The idea is cool. It’s a little AI buddy that follows your cursor around and can see your screen when you activate it with Ctrl+Option. It runs on Claude under the hood and it’s open source. In theory it makes a lot of sense. You’re stuck in an app, you

I'm trying to screenshot an ebook. So, I'm looking for a tool that can take a screenshot, turn the page, and then take another screenshot of the same section of the screen, and so on till the end of the book.

Hi everyone, I've made my own version of dropbox/icloud where files from my mac synced/versioned to the cloud. the cool thing is that every change is realtime and files are versioned(git commits!) and can be restored. it works with any type of files, but has special intentions for apple notes, bear notes, claude, obsidian etc. demo: https://www.loom.com/share/491fdb4145d042519f848de2bb47ab85 appstore link: https://ap

For the past few weeks, I've been beta testing a new release of Bartender; an app with an interesting, and at times slightly controversial, history. Despite that, it's a utility I've relied on for years. I recently did a deep dive into the problems macOS changes have created for menu bar managers and what those changes mean going forward. Even with a few lingering issues in the category, I still came away viewing Bar

The problem For years I leaned on Grammarly and ChatGPT to clean up my writing. They fixed everything, but my English barely improved. I made the same mistakes the next day, then went back and asked again. Eventually it stopped being just a writing problem. I started mentally editing sentences before saying them out loud, because I no longer trusted my own English. Once you get used to AI polishing everything, you sl

I started with ChatGPT, then moved to Claude. Though I like Claude, I always hit the basic tier limit despite using it only for less than an hour. Their usage/length limits don't make sense to me at all! I just downloaded Osaurus to give it a try as I only use AI for basic use. what's your preferred choice of AI app(s)? Edit: I also use Ente's EnSu on my iPad & iOS

Problem: Most macOS speed-reading apps are browser extensions. They only work on web pages, can't handle PDFs or local documents, and don't work with non-selectable text. I wanted one native app that could read articles, PDFs, EPUBs, DOCX files, and even OCR text from anywhere on my screen. Comparison: Compared with Spreed and Reedy, Speed Reader works across your entire Mac—not just browser pages. It supports PDFs,

I wanted to share SmartClipboard, a free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS built with SwiftUI and SwiftData. Although it includes a powerful AI search, the main goal was to solve everyday workflow problems around keyboard navigation and repetitive form-filling that many clipboard managers don’t address. Rather than relying on substring searches and mouse interactions, SmartClipboard is designed to keep your ha

Hey r/MacApps! I'm Jay, founder of Shadow. Been posting Shadow updates here since 2024. You guys have made Shadow what it is today. Every bug report, every feature suggestion, every nudge to do better. Couldn't have done it without you! For the past year, Shadow has been the AI meeting assistant that captures every word and slide without a bot in your call. That was always step one for us, not the destination. Today

Hey r/macapps, happy to be here with you again. XSpeak keeps improving, and I'd like to share latest advancements with you and hear what you think. Problem Taking notes manually during meetings is hard Not everyone feels confident speaking in meetings XSpeak takes notes automatically and provides live suggestions, relevant facts, and context related to the conversation, aimed at helping you participate. All fully on-

Problem Two shapes of writing tool exist today and neither fit how I actually write on my Mac. One is a separate chat window (ChatGPT, Claude) that needs constant copy-paste in and out. The other is a generic rewriter (Grammarly, Apple Writing Tools) that flattens everything to the same neutral voice, regardless of whether I'm messaging my wife or a client. Both interrupt whatever app I'm actually working in. Compari

3 months ago, I posted Sentient OS here, and 2,500 of you joined the waitlist. So many of you wrote to me over these months; I read every single one. It's out right now at https://sentient-os.ai, and it grew into something much bigger than what I'd pitched you. TLDR: An on-device LLM understands your entire life, then proactively offers to get your work done through computer use. Here's how! - Every night at 3 AM, it

Reviewing software has become a minefield. Post something positive and somebody decides you must be the developer in disguise. Review a paid app and a crowd shows up to litigate every penny; make it a subscription and they bring reinforcements. Privacy-focused readers want to know where every byte goes, and given the state of surveillance capitalism, that's fair. Then there's the elephant in the room: AI. Half the in

Hey there, back then when i launched dropadoo, for being niche and nerdy and whatnot, you liked it. Super nice feedback, thank you again. Let me bring an update that adds to the usability, not feature creep. You can now optional zip your files automatically before sending. Temp-zip gets deleted afterwards, subject and body text generation etc. didn't change - as great as before. --- now official post format--- Dropad
