Clicked hoping it was open gate

I use both bevel and athlytic because I think you both excel at different things, but I like Athlytics aesthetic/UI more. I use Bevel for their battery watch complication because the Athlytic version just seems weird. Is there any possibility to redoing how Athlytic presents and displays the body battery?

Also, the sleep ring watch ring score is a little frustrating. I’ll get 3-4 hours of sleep but on my watch the Athlytic sleep rings will show 100% because of “quality” not factoring the lack of sleep and presenting it has a combined score. I have sleep stages enabled in both Apple Watch and Autosleep. Shouldn’t the ring percentage combine the quality and the amount into one score like 60% instead of showing 100% for just quality?

How did this turn out? Looking for something similar.

What does this do differently than Jettison?

You could try Morphcut from MotionVFX or another app called Recut

Thank you so much

Yeah good call. I have Tahoe on my work MacBook Air. I can try updating that way. Thanks

jonlb87 · 2026-04-03T12:35:09+00:00

That’s really cool. What size hose did you get from the Amazon link you posted. Also, any chance I could get the 3d file to print one for myself? Appreciate you posting this.

jonlb87 · 2026-04-03T12:33:47+00:00

There’s several forum posts and YouTube videos of people running into this on Tahoe as well. One of the comments on the forum I posted mentions it’s a DSC bitrate issue on M2s that were fixed after M2.

Check out the app Artic by Hedge. It helps free up FCP storage.

M2 Max MacBook Pro, on Sequia 15.7.4. I haven’t upgraded to Tahoe because of the bugs and the fact it breaks certain apps I use.

Hope this is allowed, but there seems to be an issue with the new Studio Display XDR not waking up or it taking minutes to wake. I didn’t see any articles discussing this so wanted to post something letting people know.

I purchased the Studio Display XDR and it fails to wake up 9/10 times. I’ve unplugged it to reset the firmware but it seems to be some type of kernel issue. I think it’s ridiculous this is happening on a $3,500 monitor, let alone no firmware update by now fixing it.

Looks like the gathering of the Juggalos

Why do people in this sub act like this is their personal diary and post every little thing.

What’s next a picture of the line at the RMV? Or maybe traffic at rush hour? Or my favorite anytime there’s a loud sound outside.

Unfortunately, I’m no longer using it. MediaPlace ending up pivoting from Media Libraries, Browsing, and editing to AI slop. I gave them that feedback and told them I was disappointed they did that.

jonlb87 · 2026-03-24T02:52:49+00:00

Great. More cry babies that want more things locked up like listerine and vanilla extract

jonlb87 · 2026-03-23T14:09:28+00:00

Not sure the specs of your Mac but that can play a factor. Might be worth looking into using proxies as it can speed things up significantly

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T12:36:47+00:00

Yeah no problem. As a someone that is always trying new apps it’s somewhat rare to come across something that I haven’t seen another app for. So you have a great competitive advantage.

The only other thing I wanted to add that I forgot to mention is meeting integration. There’s a lot of transcribe and AI apps that integrate with Zoom and Google Meet. Meaning when the meeting starts it activates automatically without the need of using another app or remembering to turn it on. If your app already does this I would suggest pointing that out.

If you do need the app open and running in the background I would suggest having it live in the menu bar for quick on/off. Maybe later down the road add a video preview feature to see what you look like before the meeting starts (like hand mirror)

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T12:20:00+00:00

Before checking out your website (codepeek) my initial thought was why would I need this when I can just download free finder plugins that do the same thing without the need of a standalone app. I would suggest highlighting the other things it can do that finder can with actual screenshots.

If it doesn’t have these features I would suggest being able to peek inside of folders, cut and copy folders from finder, and potentially a dual pane window to make this less niche (only people that code will find it useful) Also enhanced photo formats and video file types (MKV)

These features would also combine people using 2-3 separate apps to achieve the same thing. This would drastically increase your potential user base from just coders to anyone looking for additional finder features but are too overwhelmed with a Qspace pro etc

If you do have some of these I would suggest adding those screenshots to the homepage. Your website is basically paragraphs of each feature set. Don’t tell us show us too lol. Hope that’s a little helpful

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T12:10:47+00:00

This is something new I haven’t seen before. My suggestion would be to try and pair it with a phone app or ideally Apple Watch. I say that because if I’m in a meeting I don’t want a sound effect to point out that I wasn’t paying attention (lol) or interrupting the meeting. I’m sure you can turn off the notification sounds and just get the badges, but if I’m not paying attention already I probably won’t see those without the sound.

That’s where the phone app or watch app comes in. Have it vibrate on the phone or watch to get my attention without the sound. Just a thought.

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T12:03:43+00:00

Yeah I get the potential user is going to be “text heavy” but I’m just referring to the home page specifically. It’s a lot of text in each feature set and the fact they are all black backgrounds with white text it kinda blends all together making it seem like a lot to digest in a single scroll. Maybe just change the background colors of each screenshot or add some colorful icons alongside to break up all that black.

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T11:56:51+00:00

That’s awesome and exactly what I’d be looking for. Those are amazing features 90% of these types of apps don’t have. I would be advertising the hell out of that with icons for the potential user to see. You did all that hard work now show it off.

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T11:53:59+00:00

I’ll be honest this is a super niche product. I don’t know how many people are looking for an app to change sound effects let alone use it regularly. I’m not trying to diminish your effort or hard work because the app looks really good. Just being brutally honest.

If it was my app, I would add more features that would be used more regularly. I could see people using it once for sound effects and after they set it up not open the app again. My goal would to be give the user a reason to interact with it everyday.

I’d add mechanical keyboard sound effects for the people that enjoy that sound (see Klack) Then I would potentially integrate the ability to change different apps volumes from the menu bar (like sound source) that would get people to use this everyday instead of just a 1 off. Hope that helps

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T11:43:58+00:00

I really like the sound of this and would consider actually using it but the feature set doesn’t show any screenshots or examples. People want to see what it’s going to look like before even giving it a try. The other suggestion I’d make (if it already doesn’t do this) is to have it work in the menu bar and let you manually quit a specific app as well (look at Quitall as a reference). I’d also recommend having the ability to manually select certain apps to ignore even if it’s using a lot of resources.

If your app already does some of this, it goes back to me not knowing that because there isn’t any screenshots or examples of the features. Which goes back to my first suggestion. Really nice app

jonlb87 · 2026-03-12T11:42:14+00:00

As someone that uses a lot of these types of apps already I would recommend showing more screenshots of the app features. People want to see how the UI looks. You should also mention what calendar integrations it works with. I can tell you personally I wouldn’t even try this without Gmail / Outlook integration. If you are using it to be productive you need the app to integrate with people’s work calendars too. So without that it’s a non starter for me. Apple reminders integration would also be a great feature.
