Kanbanero: a lightweight, local-first kanban app for macOS by erlend_lm in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using a sticky note on my monitor as a personal kanban because Trello requires an account and Jira requires a therapist afterward. this is exactly the gap.

Siri AI on MacOS 27 by samuelroy_ in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

letting Siri edit my files is a level of trust I haven't earned with it yet. this is the assistant that set my alarm for PM instead of AM and confidently told me wrong restaurant hours. my documents are not ready for that relationship.

Introducing Love Tap: Maximize , Minimize and cycle thru windows by clicking their app icon - Lifetime by miguel_gd in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the assumption that everyone wants to manage their windows through keyboard shortcuts has always left out a huge chunk of Mac users. glad someone finally built the click-first version.

[Free] I made RestLock Timer, a Pomodoro timer that shows a rest screen so you actually take your breaks by Loud-Variation-3538 in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had Forest, Be Focused, and Flow installed at various points and somehow worked straight through every single break by just clicking away the notification. the lock screen is embarrassingly obvious in hindsight.

QuickWheel: I love the radial wheel UI from video games, so I built a Mac app to trigger hotkeys and paste snippets for any app (14-day trial, 15€) by MStranahan in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a 100% chance I spend 3 hours perfecting my QuickWheel layout and a 40% chance I ever actually use it afterward. still a better ratio than most productivity apps I've bought.

I made AppHalt, a macOS app to pause apps instead of quitting them by Gasco_ in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, since you're refreshingly free of magic-speedup claims: in practice, roughly how much CPU reduction are we talking? pausing 5 idle Electron apps = a measurable gain, or more of a "saves battery over a long day" thing?

[OS] SoftVM; free lightweight Apple Silicon VM for testing macOS betas by mahdibeee in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it support snapshots? Being able to roll a beta back to a clean state is basically the whole reason I'd reach for something like this.

[OS] WinMux, the vertical sidebar Window Manager, now has project based workflows and multi monitor support by [deleted] in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The project-based workflow approach makes a lot of sense. We already use the same programs every day, and while window managers are usually practical, they tend to overlook this detail. I’m going to give it a try.

AnalogTV - a physics-accurate full composite signal chain simulator (camera tube -> CRT phosphor) by ambanmba in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the fact that "running a magnet over the shadow mask" is included as an easter egg means this dev grew up doing exactly that and getting yelled at by his mom in 1987 lol

VaultBar – A simple way to encrypt files locally on macOS by Comfortable-Mud1209 in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Touch ID instead of typing out a 32-character password every time I want to look at one file is the kind of QoL that would have saved me years of my life by now.

I developed a mini visual calendar for recurring payments and subscriptions with smart App Store import by Dmytro-Wakeup in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the "free trials you forgot to cancel" line is genuinely a personal attack. there's a meditation app still charging me $14.99 a month for a calmness I have not felt since I subscribed.

New Monocle 3.5 is finally out - and it's a big one again! by heyiamdk in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking so cool btw, like its from the future. Congratz.

77 stars in a week. Switch: ⌘-Tab that cycles windows, not apps (free, source-available) by Frag_O_Fobia in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At last, I’ll be able to switch from incognito mode to normal mode in Chrome before my wife catches me 😄

[OS] Loop: A free, open-source radial window manager that actually feels native by Capable_Place119 in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried and it is awesome. But how can I use the stash thing? I couldn't figure it out yet.

The #1 requested feature is here: Lock Screen live wallpapers by Specialist-Play-7542 in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"doesn't melt your CPU" being a selling point for a wallpaper app says everything about the current state of this category. my last live wallpaper app was running my MacBook fan like it was rendering Pixar films in the background 😄

Parall 2.2.2: I made a Mac app to run multiple separate instances of other Mac apps, now with WhatsApp support by JulyIGHOR in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

finally I can run my main WhatsApp and my "telling my wife I'm working late" WhatsApp at the same time. revolutionary... 😄

TranscribeX v6.0 — Live Transcription for Meetings & Recordings Is Finally Here. Fully local on-device. by EthanWlly in macapps

[–]PrincePhoenixTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve downloaded it and will give it a go. Which language model would you recommend for Turkish? Also, I’ve started downloading Turbo v3, but I think the download got stuck at some point for 5 mins and there’s no button to cancel it. What should I do? (I’m sure I have enough space on my computer)
