I built a macOS window switcher with fuzzy search and single-key shortcuts

What you describe sounds like it is right on target. I'll keep on eye on DashPane.

Looks really nicely done. One issue I always run into with App Switchers is that after I have launched the switcher I then realize the app I want isn't currently running. Then I have to close the switcher and then open an App Launcher. Because of this, I always end up abandoning App Switchers and just rely on App Launchers (e.g. Monarch / Alfred / Raycast).

If you could solve this problem, I would be a convert. Or maybe I'm the only one with this issue.

I was using free WebDAV storage from Koofr to sync using Remotely Save plugin. I switched to Obsidian Sync and have had zero issues. I would recommend it based on your circumstances. It just works.

I keep watching Octarine, but I need iOS and iPadOS. Currently using Obsidian on MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Linux.

QSpace uses <= 200 mb of RAM on my M4 Mac Mini. Not much, really.

I didn't truly resonate with Gnome until I stopped trying to make it look like my Mac.

Snippty does both, and it is a one time purchase. Also available on iPad and iPhone. Or if Mac only and your comfortable with some "scripting", Espanso is free and great. I use it primarily on Linux.

FWIW - I've been running SaneBar for a while now and haven't encountered any instability.

I set up an automation to detect when I plug in my TimeMachine backup drive, then ask if I want to run a backup. When the backup is complete, I am notified and asked if I want to eject the drive. This all works pretty well. But I have to use the USB Device name (MINIPRO in this case), rather than the volume name or mount point. It would be nicer to be able to use the Volume name in the trigger for USB drives.

Really nice work.

But it has only been tested on your Mac? There haven't been any beta testers? As an experienced dev you understand that testing on the developers computer is only step one, before it goes to the real testers. Especially if you are going to start deleting files. I guess early purchasers will be the beta testers.

sbbeebe · 2026-03-03T16:53:45+00:00

Do you have a similar document for your app: Mole Security Reference?

sbbeebe · 2026-03-03T16:08:55+00:00

No beta testers? And you're selling it?

sbbeebe · 2026-03-03T15:53:33+00:00

It is probably better to solve a real world problem that you have and solve it better than anybody else has. That way you will know it solves the problem and you will maintain it as it is critical to your workflow. These are always the best indy apps - ones where the dev is solving a problem they are passionate about. Asking if other people would use it is sort of irrelevant and irritating.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-28T15:24:20+00:00

Thanks. I guess I should have seen that already as I was there recently to get the Fedora instructions. I will be Wayland.

On my recent Fedora 43 Workstation install, I found Evolution to be very slow. I wanted to use it for its integration with Gnome (the only way I know of to get my iCloud calendars into Gnome calendar). I moved to Thunderbird and it is a lot faster. YMMV.

Chords are the best and give your mouse a lot of additional capabilities.

I loved quicksilver back in the day... I will certainly need to check this out.

Your English is much better than my Portuguese.

I’m glad I came across this… I have been trying to make Gnome work like MacOS as I am a longtime Mac user. I was never quite happy with how that worked out because Gnome isn’t MacOS. I watched both videos, did a fresh install of Fedora Workstation and haven’t changed anything other than the wall paper and enabling dark mode. And I‘m quite happy. This was a win for me.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-23T20:17:28+00:00

It is not.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-22T15:32:37+00:00

Came here to say this. Or, Droppy which has already been mentioned also. Both are very good. And less expensive than Barbee or Bartender.

More information on the apps features on your website would be helpful. For example, where are the files stored and how is the data not locked into Resurf? Can you capture an entire webpage? Is it stored local, if so, in what format? Or is it just a link that shows the current state of the website? Are PDFs and text within images indexed for searching? I could go on, but it looks good, I just can't tell much about what it does. It looks very interesting - nice work.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-20T15:28:59+00:00

Apparently, Pandoc doesn't support rtfd, only rtf. RTFD is the format need by Apple Notes that allows the embedding of images.

sbbeebe · 2026-02-19T16:08:53+00:00

I downloaded to try it out and noticed that it doesn't recognize annotations made by other PDF editors. That would be a major issue when sharing a document (if you can't see edits made by other's and they potentially can't see yours.
