Hey everyone! What started as a small diagnostic tool to figure out why my Thunderbolt daisy chain wasn’t working has evolved into something much more useful that I wanted to share. ViewPorts shows every device and connection on your Mac, right in your menu bar. It walks the entire USB and Thunderbolt tree, including hubs, and surfaces details like total power draw, per-port power usage, speed, and connection type. C

Problem Mac disks fill up faster than they should, and general cleaners miss most of it. CleanMyMac, DaisyDisk, OnyX, they each cover their slice but you still end up running terminal commands quarterly to prune Docker, delete node_modules across repos, nuke Xcode DerivedData, drop unused iOS simulator runtimes, clear JetBrains caches, hunt the Cargo target dir that grew to 12GB, find the multi-GB framework logs hidi

Balena Etcher doesn’t work for creating ChromeOS Flex or Windows ISOs anymore. It appears to still work with mac ISOs. Is it time to move to something else and what do you suggest? 

Hey, little background I’m a cybersecurity student and i would like to bring awareness to you people trying to sell a vibecoding app or has already clients. Spend some time going over the best practices to secure your app but most importantly your database. The shown images is from an app that has over 90 paying users and growing but after perform very basic reconnaissance on the binary and website i discovered that

I was wondering if anyone has experience using an app to monitor file system changes for the purpose of uninstalling applications, I found a tool called FSMonitor, which seems to do that. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I assume it tracks which application created each file, allowing you to locate all files created by that app and completely uninstall it.

- helping developers find great NEW ideas? I don't know about you, but if i come here to see another paste-xx screenshot teleprompt fitness tracker ... i'm gonna cry. Crying is bad, hurts this wonderful place here. I expect devs to be careful with spreading ideas, some one else could make millions of bucks with, i understand and don't expect them to. But what about the rest of us coming here with app ideas - stuff th

I'm currently using TelemetryDeck, thinking of switching to PostHog's free tier to get finer grain data. What do you use and why?

VirtualProg Turns One Year Old 🎉 About a year ago I introduced VirtualProg to the macOS community. Since then, the app has grown significantly thanks to feedback from users and a lot of late-night development. For those unfamiliar with it, VirtualProg is a native virtual machine manager for macOS built on Apple’s Virtualization Framework. Since the initial release, some of the biggest additions include: 🖥️ Virtual Ma

I am looking for an app both free and paid(small amount) to format my device with ntfs and also need an app that allow me to write and read both on ftp (network) storage (mac only read) Disclaimer: Very new to this

Hello! I recently started developing my own personal projects and have run into a frustrating issue: constantly reopening windows, navigating to folders in terminals, and repeating the same setup steps every time I switch between projects. I've been managing everything in a ProjectReadMe file, but I've quickly outgrown that approach. Does anyone have suggestions for a better solution? I know there are a few apps out

Hermes Desktop TL;DR at bottom I was scrolling through my GitHub feed a couple days ago and stumbled upon a cool-looking OSS tool called Hermes. It's marketed as "The agent that grows with you." Furthermore, I remembered seeing it mentioned in other places as well - Twitter, YouTube... First Impressions Anyways, I went ahead and downloaded the Hermes desktop app on my Mac. Initially, I had downloaded the wrong app. A

Hey! I've been working on this app for almost 4 years and my goal is to make network traffic analysis easier for everyone. Since my previous post last year in this sub was of interest for many, today I'm here to share that Sniffnet has been recently updated to version 1.5 and, among other new features, it now allows to see the list of apps and programs that are using your network bandwidth, making it a step closer to

Dear r/macapps, I'm looking for a tool for Mac that lets me restore or manage my workspace. For example, I’d like to have XCode on the screen at a specific window position I’ve set, and in the same size as when I last exited XCode. At the same time, I want to place Upnote at a specific screen position and maybe have Textastic somewhere on the screen as well. Is there a tool like that?

No not Activity Monitor. I have to explain what happened today. So today I was sharing my screen on a Zoom call and my cursor started moving slowly and turned into a beach ball and the call froze. I had one browser opened with 10 tabs and 7 of them in suspended state - regular sites like Gemini, youtube, and wikipedia. On activity monitor the browser is using 609 MB of RAM but memory cleaner by Nektony shows it's usi

Hi! I use AI myself to ship code faster (Cursor / Claude / co‑pilot style) and I think vibe coding is awesome when you understand what you’re building. Shipping a usable Mac app in days instead of months is genuinely a big deal. What feels weird to me lately: my r/macapps and r/vibecoding feed is full of small AI utilities. Chat wrappers, writing helpers, tiny menu bar tools, that were vibe‑coded in no time, but stil
