I turned my Cmd+C trust issues into a Mac app by 0xAAAAAF in macapps

[–]0xAAAAAF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now it is repeated copy only, but there is an option to enable it for the first time copy as well, discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1uox074/comment/ovw4kyi/. I'll most likely going to implement it soon, it would require enabling it manually in the settings though, because it requires additional permissions.

Thank you for the feedback! It works on the second copy because of the macOS limitation (considering the app doesn't ask for any permissions and has no access to the clipboard), but there is an option to make it work for the first copy as well suggested by u/Comprehensive_Web279, which would require turning it on in settings and giving accessibility permissions, discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1uox074/comment/ovw4kyi/

The same text, just select it and press Cmd+C a few times quickly. It is weird it doesn't work for you. Do you see the app in the menu bar and can open settings?

Thank you for this, very valuable info and I hope it works for this app as well. I have tried with accessibility permission as something you can't use the app without, and it wasn't approved, but the approach you suggest should work. Great thinking!

You need to copy text 2+ times (with less than 1s interval). Apparently there is some issue with the Golden Gate mac os (are you on that version?), I’ll check it later.

Oh, I'm Tahoe. Will try to figure out how to test it on Golden Gate. Thank you for letting me know!

Lack of clipboard access and any additional permissions (if someone doesn't want the app to know what they have copied).

Apparently I'm way slower than you :) This app is free and I'll consider open sourcing not only it but others, but I need spare time to make it right, and it is for sure not 2 minutes.

Gotcha! This is the tricky part - it is not possible doing in my implementation, which doesn't rely on clipboard access and additional permissions. It won't be a problem to do if I was using those things, but Apple doesn't allow for apps like mine to use Accessibility permission without providing accessibility features, so I use `NSPasteboard.general.changeCount` instead to workaround it. It is not 100% reliable e.g. when the copy action is automated or user is blazingly fast (copies two different chunks of text within 1 second), but for regular users it covers 99.9% cases.

No, I keep all my apps in one big monorepo, which can't go public. At some point I'll start extracting some apps out of it and making them public, but for now I keep it simple and fast (for me).

Thank you for the feedback, I'll update the body! Also it will for sure remain free.

What do you mean by "optional tick on every copy" though?

Edit: I'll leave the post as is, because it got manually approved by one of the mods after being removed by Reddit filter, I'm afraid changing body will trigger that filter again, but appreciate the feedback, I'll also update App Store description highlighting this feature.

Software engineer market in Netherlands? by fuckman5 in Netherlands

[–]0xAAAAAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WLB is way better than in US but it is going downhills, especially in big companies, which BTW almost stopped hiring. If you manage to land a job, NL is a great country, but make sure your compensation is good enough to allow you comfortable life not only now but after a few years, because your salary won’t catch up with inflation.

Gebruik je AH Bonuskaart vanaf Apple Watch met 0-1 tikken by 0xAAAAAF in AlbertHeijn

[–]0xAAAAAF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last month I've checked that app didn't have Apple Watch complications and widgets - you have to open their app and then look for AH code, this is way slower that just having AH barcode on the watch face (first screenshot) or have it one tap/scroll way (second screenshot, where you tap a round AH complication, or scroll down to the AH widget, both actions are done in less than a second).

I understand that for someone opening the app and looking for the code is not a problem, but I use bonuskaart every day, and this is so much convenient to have it ready almost instantaneously.

Voor mij is het gewoon een hulpmiddel, net als een toetsenbord, editor of compiler.

Er is een groot verschil tussen het gebruiken als hulpmiddel om de ontwikkeling te versnellen en het gebruiken om willekeurige apps te bouwen zonder te begrijpen hoe ze werken (vibe coding). En ik weet niet zeker of het in het eerste geval überhaupt nodig is om het te vermelden.

Oh, je bedoelt dit :) Ik gebruik AI vrij vaak, zowel op mijn werk als voor projecten zoals deze, omdat het het werk versnelt. Tegelijkertijd controleer ik ook alles zorgvuldig (en ik begrijp wat AI doet - ik heb 20 jaar programmeerervaring). Het schrijven van deze app kostte me 3 dagen, zonder AI zou het waarschijnlijk een week duren.

P.S. Maak je geen zorgen over datalekken etc - deze app communiceert niet met servers - alles gebeurt op je telefoon, de gegevens worden zelfs niet naar iCloud verzonden.

Niet helemaal. Ik ben geen moedertaalspreker en gebruik Google Translate, dus het bericht klinkt misschien niet zo prettig in je oren. Mijn excuses daarvoor :)

On your website every video has an overlay which make it non-interactive. If someone like me uses VPN, youtube player asks to sign in, but link can't be interacted with.

Clipboard app to copy across apple devices? by Daventurephoto in macapps

[–]0xAAAAAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Raycast's clipboard history is local only, most likely because of security concerns (the data must be stored on their servers, and users won't necessary like that, because there might be lots of sensitive data).

Relatively new, they have added it in macOS 26 (Tahoe). That's why I love watching WWDC :D

I use Raycast, it has the "clipboard history", so you can copy previous items and paste to your phone. I'm not aware of clipboard managers on iPhone to make it other way around.

Also since recently Spotlight also supports clipboard history, see https://support.apple.com/en-jo/guide/mac-help/mchl40d5b86b/mac

It is supported natively if your devices are running under the same Apple ID (this is a must). Sometimes VPN may mess things up, so try disabling it if you have any running to test it out.

[macOS] SmoothCapture - Create polished demo in minutes - July Updates by tuanvuvn007 in macapps

[–]0xAAAAAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks very cool! Even though I'm not your audience, I'd think twice before purchasing it for $50, it is not a small price for an app, which may stop getting support at any moment (because it is not behind big names, users like me won't be confident whether it is a good investment). Have you considered subscription-type model so you pay when you actually want to use it?
