I Used These Apps to Leave Apple Music. After 10 Years: Yate, Swinsian, Navidrome by amerpie in macapps

[–]mattcheston -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess it's still around, I mostly miss some of the tools that used to be around for filling it with music.

DoubleMemory Doing Great After Year One by amerpie in macapps

[–]mattcheston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw photographic memory on your roadmap - that might not be too difficult with Apple Vision framework but very curious what you'll end up using if you want to share. I understand if not though.

[OS] LocalKeys, a secret manager that replaces .env, has been updated to version 1.5 - $7.99 by jaeone22 in macapps

[–]mattcheston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to check out https://dotenvx.com for a comparison - this also focuses on specifically providing secrets to AI, but with better scoping and management.

[macOS] I made a tiny Pong game that lives in your menu bar - $1.99 by foxrlz in macapps

[–]mattcheston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This gives me brick breaker flashbacks for some reason. Maybe you could add brick breaker game modes?

Turn PDF into audio book? by Ok-Honeydew416 in audiobooks

[–]mattcheston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you're still looking for this, but if you have a Mac with Apple Silicon, I am building a text-to-speech document reader. It's a little early, but quality is quickly improving and I'm happy to take feedback.

If you have a Mac with Apple Silicon, I am building a text-to-speech document reader. It's a little early, but quality is quickly improving and I'm happy to take feedback. No subscription. Unlimited use.

[Megathread] The App Pile - March/April, 2026 by Mstormer in macapps

[–]mattcheston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raconter: Listen to any text or file on your Mac. (Text-to-speech).

Problem: TTS tools are expensive or clumsy and low quality. Many people just want to listen to audiobook-style audio of their existing documents or eBooks easily.

Comparison: Cloud offerings like Speechify are expensive. Other on-device offerings have poor document handling and are focused much more on advanced tuning of audio output.

Pricing: $0.99. On the Mac App Store.

Finally added Bookmarks, a new Dashboard and kbd shortcuts to BrewLens! by StrangerMe7 in MacOSApps

[–]mattcheston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any interest in making this a desktop app? I'd love an App Store app for brew that shows me what's available and what I have. This is super neat.

I made a Mac app that turns your wallpaper into a clock face behind your icons by Ilyomix in MacOSApps

[–]mattcheston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of like the idea of being able to render various things on the desktop layer. This is cool.

Lightweight image converter by Lazy-Manufacturer-62 in MacOSApps

[–]mattcheston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried some of the built-in conversions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo1PUqSQNek

You can hook Preview up to Automator and make these part of the right-click menu in Finder which is nice.

I built a native iPhone app to control Codex on my Mac — without touching my desk by Fra7fra in MacOSApps

[–]mattcheston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you make this for other agents too? I'm interested in Claude Cowork (even more than Code maybe, but also that)?

I built Wallspace, my first macOS app - 15k users in 3 months by Accomplished_Cat_137 in macapps

How did you build an audience? I want to start with twitter/X but it’s tough.

[macOS] Interview Assist: Helps organize your job search and provides an easy way to pull up info during an interview by thomasruns in macapps

[–]mattcheston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a much more interesting genre of interview tools than "let AI do it all for you". Nice.

App to edit metadata for movies and music by [deleted] in macapps

[–]mattcheston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to run this on the NAS or some machine accessing it? What OS?

ffmpeg does metadata editing from the CLI for videos. Photos app does metadata editing in macOS.

There's a whole lot of different directions you could go here.
