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

Corel Painter 2023 Corel’s Spot on Memory Lane I hadn’t thought about Corel graphics apps in a long time until I saw their flagship app on sale recently. I got my first tech-related job in 1994, when my ability to figure things out in Windows 3.1 earned me a promotion from the manufacturing floor to the quality department at the Westinghouse factory where I worked after getting out of the Army. The tools I worked wit

This tool clearly highlights the cursor’s position, making its movement and clicks easily visible. It is particularly suitable for use in conferences, teaching, or video tutorial production, helping the audience follow your actions and ideas more easily, thereby attracting their attention and improving the effectiveness of information delivery. Problem: During presentations, teaching and screen recordings, the defaul

This is a review. I am not the developer. I've been listening to audiobooks since they were called books on tape. I progressed from there to CDs and then to miscellaneous downloads. These days, the gold standard format, at least for Apple fans, is audiobooks packaged as single M4B files regardless of the book's length, complete with chapters and metadata. That way you can stop and start listening without searching fo

Hi everyone, I'm Will, the developer behind Stash. I've always loved software that feels physical. One of my favourite things about macOS is how polished the interactions are (and favourite things about Apple in general). So I ended up building Stash. Problem I found myself constantly reaching for the same things: extra Dock apps volume brightness appearance audio output They're all built into macOS already, but I wa

Hi, I'm Flora. I'm an individual developer. Here is my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/flora-wang-9a028a407/ I've been building GeekLink(https://geeklink.dev/) for almost five months. Problem: Most of the products for subtitle editing are separated. Usually, you have to use a transcription tool to get the subtitles, use another tool to translate them, and then transfer to another tool to burn subtitles. I am ti

Disclosure: I built TuringShot, so this is a developer self-promo post. TuringShot is on the Mac App Store. It is a live screen effects tool for macOS, not a screen recorder. Problem I record a lot of coding tutorials and product demos on a Mac. The recording app is usually not the part that wastes time. The problem is that the source screen is hard to follow: tiny menus, fast cursor movement, small settings panels,

👋 Hey everyone - Ex AI engineer turned indie maker here! Last year I launched Bantr in this sub, an offline text-to-speech app that generates natural-sounding voices natively on your Mac. You guys carried it to the all-time top 10, then kept helping me shape it through DMs/comments/emails that became features, use cases, and ideas I would've never had. Problem: I built Bantr because every decent TTS tool these days l

I am the developer of Pict-o-view, a native Mac photo and video viewer. Problem When I want to look through a folder of photos on my Mac, I either have to import everything into a managed library first, or open files one at a time. I wanted to point an app at a folder and page through what is inside, and have it handle RAW and video too. Pict-o-view does that. Add a folder and it shows what is in it instantly. Nothin

This was so much work, but also the most requested feature. When I first started using Photoshop heavily in 2003 it was primarily as a web design tool, I had a bunch of layers with boxes and lines I'd drag around, group into folders, and put Color Overlay on so I could fine tune the perfect shade of gray or whatever. That one, and Stroke and Drop Shadow should be super useful for anybody. Not sure how much Bevel is a

[Problem] While organizing different archives, I realized that organizing files wasn't enough. Before organizing an archive, I first needed to know whether the media itself was actually valid. That's why Version 2.0 introduces Validate Media. Instead of assuming every file is usable, MediaOrganizer now verifies media integrity before the normalization process begins. Unreadable, damaged and corrupted media are automa

I built ExcalidrawZ, a native Mac/iOS client for Excalidraw. I posted an early version here about a year ago, when it was mostly a native wrapper + file manager. I just released v2.2.0, so I wanted to share the update and also summarize what the app has grown into since then. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/excalidrawz/id6636493997 GitHub: https://github.com/chocoford/ExcalidrawZ Problem Excalidraw is great, bu

I'm looking to migrate away from Apple Photos to an app with similar functionality that, ideally, is built on SwiftUI, but has the flexibility of an easy to navigate folder hierarchy, making it interoperable.
