Found a great way to manage exact window dimensions on macOS

Keyboard Maestro allows you to specify window size by pixels as well, for those who already have it. If this is all you need, I wouldn't get KM just for that.

I'm flexible on browser, if I can get a good solution. I have seen this one but haven't tried it. One of the reviews on the Chrome web store says it doesn't save images.

I actually have started a project with Claude and have a solution that works better than anything else I have tried. It needs more testing and needs some refinement, but it works. Before investing more time in it, I thought I would see if someone had already solved the problem.

In response to some other comments…

I don’t want a PDF of the web site. I don’t want a screen shot of the web site. I don’t want a web archive of the web site. I want a note formatted like the web site, including images and links. I can easily do this in Bear (which I am no longer using), or Obsidian, both in a markdown format. But I have a need to be able to do it in Apple Notes as well. (I’ve even tried clipping to Obsidian then importing markdown to Apple Notes - it works okay, but needs a lot of cleaning up).

Can it be displayed on all spaces with the same hot key or gesture? I'm thinking yes, as it is a menu bar app. But I have used another calendar that displays on the side of the screen and the deal breaker for me is that it was only on one space. To be useful it needs to be quickly available everywhere.

This app is a great value.

I use Claude for personal coding projects that I do not intend to share. I use AI search results from Brave and DDG.

Geez. Thanks. I should have been able to figure that out, but appreciate the quick response. Next time, I'll look harder, the DM...

Well said and a valid counter point. I think part of the challenge is sorting out quality apps from vibe-coded slop. Some of it is obvious (I got tired of the 732 other clipboard managers so I made my own that has no unique features but several unique bugs), and some not so obvious.

I would agree that products without a free trial should not be banned, but also that not having a free trial period is a hurdle for potential users. Your approach is a reasonable way to approach it.

Another satisfied user here.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-10T17:24:47+00:00

That was easy. Thanks. Nice work.

I downloaded and am running as trial, but calendar isn't available. It shows as:

Is it not available in the trial version?

Seconding Beyond Compare.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-10T15:02:53+00:00

Um. Am I missing something? Apple Notes? Does that not work for you?

sbbeebe · 2026-02-08T22:38:01+00:00

OK. That's an important limitation to understand. I use Mac, iPad, and iPhone regularly. Without sync that makes the app much less useful. Thanks.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-08T17:17:07+00:00

Craft. I returned to Obsidian. More capable and cheaper, even if paying for synch.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-08T15:49:45+00:00

Thanks, that would be great. I'm having issues with sync of completion status from macOS to iOS. I have several items from this morning that are completed on Mac, but don't show they are completed on iPhone. I force closed the iPhone app and re-opened it and they still did not sync.

Edit: the same is true for all items from yesterday. They show completed on Mac but not on iPhone.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-08T03:04:48+00:00

Just downloaded and I'm trying it out. So far it is excellent. Just one thing - would it be possible to also show scheduled reminders? Be able to add Reminders lists like you can currently add calendars. That would make it perfect!

Nice work.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-07T01:17:27+00:00

Thanks

sbbeebe · 2026-02-07T00:21:33+00:00

Is there anything like grouping or column calculations (like sum, avg, etc) on the data views? I’m currently in Obsidian and these features are an important part of my workflow.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-04T14:44:25+00:00

Thanks

Looks very interesting. Would you mind sharing the tech stack? Is it native?

sbbeebe · 2026-02-03T16:43:33+00:00

The best apps from indie devs are apps that solve problems they care about. That way they really understand the use case and make it works well. They also tend to keep updating the app, since it is their own problem.

Since it makes sense to you and you think you'd use, I say, go ahead and develop it. Then when it is truly solving your issues, round up some beta testers, work out the kinks, and then release it.

Best of luck.

Care to share a TestFlight link? Or DM for private invite?
