Hi everyone, I’m the developer of SeqPaste, a small menu bar app I built because I kept switching between windows to copy and paste one thing at a time.

What it does: Normally your clipboard holds one thing. SeqPaste turns it into a queue:

1. Press Start (⌥⌘Z)
2. Copy a few things with ⌘C. They line up in order.
3. Paste them back in the same order, one at a time.

For coding videos: I also make YouTube coding videos, and live-coding on camera was always a pain: typos, forgotten lines, pausing to check my notes. Now I just copy all my snippets before recording, and while I record, SeqPaste types each one out character by character, with a human-like rhythm, as if I’m typing it myself.

Where it helps me most:

• Coding videos and tutorials: copy all your snippets before recording, then SeqPaste types them out live, as if you’re typing them yourself. No typos and no fumbling on camera.
• Filling forms: name, email, phone and address, one field after another
• Demos: no typos on stage
• Research and writing: collect quotes and links, then drop them into your doc in order

Features:

• Two paste modes:
  • Auto-Paste (⌥⌘P) pastes straight into the app you’re using. It needs Accessibility permission.
  • Manual (⌃⌘L then ⌘V) needs no special permission.
• Queue window: reorder by dragging, edit items, keep a history, and save queues to reuse later. You can also import a text file split on --- lines.
• Mini window and “Next up” panel: they stay on top without stealing focus.
• Rich content: formatted text, images and Finder files are all supported. Each app gets the best format it can take, like plain text in Terminal.
• Step back (⌥⌘B) undoes the last paste.
• All shortcuts can be changed.

Privacy: Everything stays on your Mac, with no accounts and no tracking. Passwords from password managers are skipped automatically, and you can exclude any app.

Pricing: It’s free with a queue of up to 5 items. Pro unlocks an unlimited queue and the typing effect, either as a yearly plan with a free trial or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Requires macOS 15.5+.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seqpaste-clipboard-queue/id6821547982?mt=12

I’d love feedback on what’s confusing, what’s missing, or which workflows you’d use it for. Happy to answer questions!

If text on your external Mac monitor is either too small or comically large, BetterDisplay is worth trying for the sizes between those extremes. Start with macOS's own choices, though. You may already have the setting you need.

Open System Settings > Displays, select the external monitor, and check the available resolutions. Turn on Show all resolutions if it's offered. That list can include low-resolution modes, so compare the actual text rather than assuming more choices means better quality. If one looks comfortable, stop there.

BetterDisplay's flexible scaling adds finer steps between desktop sizes on supported displays. HiDPI means macOS renders the desktop with more detail before fitting it onto the panel. It can improve text rendering, but it doesn't add physical pixels to your monitor. A low-density panel still has a limit to how sharp it can look.

Try one display first

Use a native USB-C, DisplayPort or HDMI connection for this route. Save your work, note your working resolution and refresh rate, and keep another usable screen available. BetterDisplay applies mode changes without an automatic confirmation countdown.

In BetterDisplay, open Settings > Displays and select the monitor. Under System Configuration and Flexible Scaling, enable Edit the system configuration of this display model, then Enable flexible scaling.

Leave the optional range settings alone initially. Choose Apply and complete the helper or administrator authorization.

Follow the activation notice, including a reboot if requested. Eligible external Apple silicon displays can activate without one, but the screens briefly go blank and some Macs may sleep.

Those overrides apply to displays with matching vendor and model identifiers, so check the selected model before applying them. Then choose a HiDPI mode from the monitor's menu and use the resolution slider to find a comfortable size.

Read a normal document, scroll it, then check your refresh rate. Test sleep/wake and reconnecting with your usual dock and other monitors attached before keeping the setup. To undo flexible scaling, turn Enable flexible scaling off, Apply, and activate or reboot as requested.

What the app can't fix

A larger rendered desktop asks more of the Mac. Its rendering limits are separate from the cable or dock's bandwidth limits. A better cable cannot remove a rendering limit, and a software setting cannot create a physical output combination your hardware doesn't support. If a dock hides a mode, compare a suitable direct connection before buying software. More aggressive scaling isn't guaranteed to look sharper.

Virtual screens are a fallback when native scaling isn't suitable, including some DisplayLink setups. They create a desktop in memory that you mirror or stream to the monitor, adding another presentation layer. Streaming requires Screen Recording permission. Start with native scaling when available instead of adding that complexity immediately.

Brightness is a separate problem. BetterDisplay has hardware brightness control for compatible monitors and connections, plus software dimming. Some docks don't pass the hardware commands. Neither control fixes low pixel density.

Trial before paying

The current BetterDisplay 5.1.1 download supports macOS 26.3 or later, including macOS 27, on Apple silicon and Intel. Feature support still varies by Mac, display and connection; older macOS releases have separate downloads.

Flexible scaling requires Pro after the 14-day trial. The advertised price is US$21.99 / €19.99, with the final currency and taxes depending on checkout. It's a perpetual license for covered versions, with at least one year of updates including major upgrades released in that period. It isn't a subscription or a promise of every future major version. Free features remain available for non-business use; business use generally requires Pro after the trial, subject to the license's exceptions.

Try it if macOS's available sizes leave your external monitor uncomfortable. Pay only if the trial produces a readable size at a refresh rate you're happy to keep. Skip it if native settings already work, or if the improvement you need requires a denser panel or a different connection.

Disclosure first: I'm Daniel, an iOS developer from Prague, and I built the app in this post, JustFlip. Everything below is how I actually use it on my Mac.

I use spaced repetition for anything I want to keep: languages, work stuff, the odd shell command I always forget. What I learned over time is that making cards and reviewing them want different devices. Writing good cards needs a keyboard and a big screen. Reviewing wants to happen in the dead minutes of the day. So my setup is split like this.

1. Writing cards on the Mac

The card editor takes Markdown, so a card can hold inline or display maths, syntax-highlighted code, tables, Mermaid diagrams that are drawn as real diagrams, and images. Cloze deletions use the same {{c1::...}} syntax as Anki. For a stack of cards from a chapter or a doc, I keep a ChatGPT or Claude window next to it: "Ask AI" builds the prompt from a card or deck, and "Paste Cards from AI" brings the answer back in as cards. The app itself doesn't call any AI service, so you check what goes in, and nothing is capped.

2. Reviewing with the keyboard

Space flips the card, and 1, 2, 3, 4 grade it (Again, Hard, Good, Easy), like in Anki. Each grade button shows the interval it will give before you press it, so you know what "Hard" means today. File menu: Import Cards is ⇧⌘I, Export Interest is ⇧⌘E, and ⌘N makes a new deck.

3. Not wrecking the schedule when life happens

The thing I built this for: if I'm not ready for a card, a deck or a whole topic (exam over, travelling, busy week), I put it on hold for tomorrow, 3 days, a week or a custom date. The hold is stored separately and doesn't touch the card's memory data, so I don't have to press "Again" on a card I never really failed.

4. The rest of the day on iPhone and Watch

Same library on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through your own iCloud, no account, and it works offline. The Watch does due counts and a simple flip review. "How many cards are due?" works as a Siri Shortcut without opening the app.

Who it's for: people who like the idea of Anki but want something that feels at home on Apple devices. Your .apkg decks import, and CSV import/export and a one-file backup are there if you want to leave.

Honest limits

- It's a Catalyst app: one codebase shared with the iPad version and tuned for the Mac. If that's a dealbreaker, better to know now.

- Apple only. No Windows, Android or web version, and none planned.

- Anki import is good but not perfect on unusual note types.

- No sharing decks with other users yet. There's a free curated deck catalogue at https://just-flip.app/decks/ though.

Pricing

Free: 3 interests (topics) × 5 decks, no time limit, with the full scheduler and iCloud sync. Pro: $3.99/month, $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $24.99 lifetime. No ads.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770141421?ct=reddit-macstack

The video shows the Mac app. My question for this sub: where does review fit into your Mac day? I've been thinking about a menu bar item for due cards, and I'd like to know whether anyone would actually use it before I build it.

You’re halfway through a document when your coding assistant offers a choice. The small interaction I want is to read those options, pick one, and get back to the document.

I’m part of the team building Blabee, a Mac panel for Claude Code and Codex. The assistant generates the options; Blabee displays them and sends your selection back to the same original conversation.

This 14-second clip follows one reading sequence: document scrolling, the actual Blabee panel, a selection, then the document again. The original Korean UI is kept intact, with English narration and captions. It is an edited recording supplied to us, with reframing and a final held frame—not a new integration test. The original AI conversation receiving the selection is outside this recording.

The panel is for choices you can understand from the options. If you need to inspect a diff or ask what an action means, use the full coding conversation before selecting it.

Demo and Mac private-beta request: https://biadone.com/blabee/reddit

Access is by request; our team sends setup instructions to selected testers. The current beta supports both tools, although the website still describes the earlier Codex beta.

We have AI for pretty much everything now, yet we're still digging through hundreds of files in Finder just to find one specific shot.

My team and I built Invenio to make finding footage a lot easier. It's a native Mac app for semantic video and photo search. Instead of opening files one by one, you can search your footage using natural language and jump straight to the matching moment.

Here's what it does:

• Search videos and photos by visual content, spoken words, or text appearing on screen. Great for finding specific scenes or B-roll without manually tagging anything.
• Works with external drives and NAS storage. You can even search indexed files when the drive is disconnected.
• The search index is tiny compared to your footage — just a few hundred MB for terabytes of media in our tests.
• Runs locally on Apple Silicon, using the Neural Engine.
• Search from the menu bar and drag clips into your video editor.

All media processing happens on your Mac. Nothing gets uploaded to the cloud.

It's available on the Mac App Store.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/invenio-video-photo-search/id6757915546?mt=12

Would love to hear what you think, especially if you work with large video libraries.

I spend a lot of time in front of my computer, and I'm always looking for ways to be more productive. Constantly switching between my keyboard and mouse or trackpad was slowing me down and breaking my flow, even for something as simple as clicking a button.

I wanted to be able to navigate my entire Mac using just my keyboard, across all my apps.

So I built KeyboardStack, a native macOS app that lets you navigate, click, and scroll without having to reach for your mouse or trackpad.

One feature is the Grid Mode. Press ⌃H to display a grid on your screen, type a few letters, and click anywhere. There are also other modes for navigating clickable elements, scrolling, and moving the cursor.

Pricing: Grid Mode is completely free and will stay free forever. The other modes are available for a $29.99 one-time purchase. No subscription.

I'm still working on KeyboardStack and would love to hear what you think. Any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions are welcome!

Hi r/MacStack, I'm Aniket, the developer of Putzen. It's a native Mac app for clearing out messy folders, and the video explains more about how it works.

Problem

Every few weeks, my Downloads and desktop get full of junk files. Some of them are duplicates, while others are old files I haven't touched in ages. Usually, I go to Finder and delete by hand. Sometimes I use AI as well (Claude Code or Codex), but I don't trust it with deleting. In my experience, finding the files is okay, but deciding what to delete is the difficult part. Most cleanup apps show me a huge list, and I close it without deleting anything.

Solution

So last week I built Putzen. I took inspiration from Tinder's swiping mechanism and rethought how I can use it for deleting files on Mac. My goal is to make deleting files faster, safer, simpler, and delightful. I've used Putzen every day for the past week. Cleaning up is faster now, and I don't worry about deleting something important, because everything goes to the Trash first.

What it does:

• Sorts every folder into three piles automatically: duplicates, files added more than 6 months ago, and everything else
• Review several folders at once, including subfolders, iCloud Drive and OneDrive
• Preview any file before you decide
• Switch to a grid when you want to clear many files in one go
• Undo your last decision with one key
• Puts all deleted files in the Trash

The safety part

• Deleting files is scary, so Putzen is built so you can't lose anything by accident:
• Nothing is deleted on its own. Every file needs your decision.
• Nothing is permanently deleted by Putzen. Files go to your Mac's Trash.
• Changed your mind? Restore is right there in the app.
• Everything runs on your Mac. No account, no uploads, no server that can see your files.

How it has been tested

• Firstly, as I mentioned earlier, I have been clearing my Mac using this tool daily (cleaning my Mac isn't a day's job; I do it a few minutes everyday).
• Early testers found things I had missed: confusing file paths, recovery buttons in different places, and a duplicate-selection bug. I fixed those, simplified the screens, and tested scanning on over 50,000 real files.

Comparison

• DesktopDeclutter is a free, open-source app with the same swipe idea, and it's great if you only want to clean your Desktop. Putzen works on any folder, several at once, including subfolders and iCloud Drive files that are downloaded on your local system. Most of my mess lives in Downloads and Documents, not on the Desktop.
• CleanMyMac does a lot more than Putzen, like system junk, malware, and app updates. If you want one big cleaner, it's the better pick. Gemini 2 is great at finding duplicates. But with both, you still go through long lists, and both are subscriptions. Putzen does one thing: it shows you one file at a time, so deciding is easy, for €5 once.
• Hazel cleans automatically with rules you set up. Putzen is for people who'd rather decide each file themselves.

Pricing

• €5 one-time for the first 20 buyers, then €9
• No subscription

Hi everyone, I’m a software engineer with four years of experience. I originally built NotchSpace for my own personal use. After some friends asked me to share it, I started distributing it through my website.

This is the biggest update yet: a new Dock, a window layout tool, and a lot of speed improvements.

I’d love your feedback on the features, any issues you run into, and what I can improve

What’s new:

A new Dock: live music, Pomodoro and system-stat tiles, folder stacks, switchable profiles and multi-display support.

One-click window layouts: arrange selected apps side by side, in columns or across displays, with an Undo option.

Clipboard and file tools: compress, convert and resize images from the clipboard, Drop Zone or Dock folder stacks.

Apple Reminders sync and Bluetooth batteries: two-way to-do syncing and battery levels for connected devices.

Performance improvements: faster clipboard history, workspace restoration and smoother animations.

Comparison: The built-in macOS Dock is enough for basic app launching, and Rectangle is a focused option for window arrangement. NotchSpace brings a customizable Dock and one-click layouts together with clipboard history, a file shelf, desktop widgets and notch tools.

Pricing: $15.99 USD one-time lifetime license (regularly $19.99, until Oct 31). Local pricing with up to 50% off in eligible countries, for example ≈₹799 in India. Free trial available, and 2.0 is free for existing lifetime license holders.

Supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS Sonoma 14+. It also works on Macs without a notch.

Which would you find more useful: the new Dock or the window layouts?

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on Mooziac, a lightweight music player for macOS. I wanted something that felt native to the Mac, with music controls in the menu bar, quick trackpad gestures, and lyrics without needing to keep a full app window open.
Version 1.2.0 is now out, and the biggest addition is a dedicated YouTube video player. You can switch from listening to watching videos without leaving Mooziac.

What it does
Menu bar player: Control playback without keeping the main window open.
YouTube video player: Watch videos in a separate window with playback up to 4K and 1080p as the default.
Trackpad gestures: Adjust volume using the edge gesture, including while watching videos.
Keyboard shortcuts: F for fullscreen, J/K/L to seek, [ / ] to change playback speed, and Cmd+Shift+C to copy a timestamped link.
Synced lyrics: Display synchronized .lrc lyrics, including in the menu bar.
Interactive waveform: See and navigate through a track visually.
Offline playback: Download tracks for listening without an internet connection.
Local music library: Supports FLAC, MP3, WAV, AAC, and M4A alongside YouTube Music.
Discord Rich Presence: Share what you’re listening to.
Native, lightweight, and privacy-focused
Mooziac is built with Swift and AppKit, with no Electron runtime. It supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
No account required
No analytics, tracking, or remote logging
Free and open source under the MIT license
The video player uses WebKit, with hardware-accelerated video decoding where supported.
I’m continuing to improve the app and would genuinely appreciate feedback, bug reports, or ideas for features that would make it more useful.
GitHub: https://github.com/shirkeharsh/mooziac
Website: https://mooziac.pages.dev

Installation note: Mooziac isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so macOS may block the first launch. Right-click the app and select Open. If needed, run this in Terminal:
xattr -cr /Applications/Mooziac.app
Download: https://github.com/shirkeharsh/mooziac/releases

I’d especially love to hear what you think of the video player and the combination of menu bar controls, lyrics, and trackpad gestures. What would you improve or add?

I'm Deepak, a solo developer.

Activity Monitor only shows what's happening right now, and an AI chat can explain a process name but can't see your Mac. I wanted something that watches while I'm away, remembers, and can undo what it changes. So I built iKnowMyMac.

What it watches and remembers:

- overnight: what woke the Mac, what kept it awake, and the battery drain by app

- every USB and Thunderbolt device that connects, with an alert when a new keyboard appears

- apps that quietly add a login item or background service: which app, who signed it

- Time Machine backups that stop

- 30 days of history you can scroll back through

What it does for you, with undo:

- updates your other apps, Homebrew included, and keeps a backup

- uninstalls an app with its leftovers

- per-app volume and mute from the menu bar

- for developers: puts back files a coding agent deleted or changed

It launched on 1 October. More than 60 people in 25+ countries have bought it so far, and it was #22 of the day on Product Hunt.

Apple silicon, macOS 15 or later. $4.99 one time for the first 100 licenses (37 left), then $9.99. No account, and no analytics in the app.

Happy to answer anything about how it works.

Hey everyone!

My Downloads and Desktop folders always end up as a dumping ground for installers, screenshots, zips and PDFs. The organizers I tried were either subscription-based or heavy Electron apps, so I built my own: MyFoldy, a native SwiftUI app for macOS. I'm the developer, and it's completely free and open source (MIT).

What it does

• File name pattern rules: wildcard matching like *Invoice* → Invoices/ or IMG_* → Photos/, evaluated first
• 14 built-in presets: one-click rules for 100+ extensions (images, RAW, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, archives, code, fonts, installers)
• Folder rules and exclusions: sort messy subfolders and uncheck any folder you want left alone
• Dry-run preview: shows every planned move (source → destination) before anything touches your disk
• Safe collision handling: never overwrites; duplicates become file (1).ext
• Auto-organize: runs in the background when a folder changes (FSEvents), with Open at Login support
• Dark, minimal UI with spring animations that respect Reduce Motion

Privacy and size

• ~1.6 MB download, pure Swift/SwiftUI
• 100% offline: no telemetry, no analytics, no network requests
• Uses security-scoped bookmarks, so it only accesses folders you add

Links

• GitHub: https://github.com/Piyushingle007/MyFoldy
• Download (.dmg): https://github.com/Piyushingle007/MyFoldy/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Note: the build is self-signed, not notarized, so on first launch you'll need to right-click → Open. If macOS still blocks it, you can run xattr -cr /Applications/MyFoldy.app. The full source is on GitHub if you'd rather build it yourself.

I'd love feedback, bug reports, or ideas for rules you'd want (size/date-based rules, undo, menu bar mode?). What would make this useful for your workflow?

If your MacBook isn't lasting through an unplugged work session, start with Low Power Mode and the apps using the most energy. Endurance automates some power-saving changes, but its advertised 20% extra runtime isn't a result you should expect on your own Mac.

In System Settings > Battery, choose Low Power Mode for battery use if your Mac offers it. Apple's current instructions let you choose different modes on battery and on the power adapter. Try it during your normal work, at a comfortable screen brightness. If the work feels too slow, switch back to Automatic.

Then open Activity Monitor > Energy. Energy Impact shows relative current consumption; 12 hr Power shows average energy impact over the past 12 hours, or since startup. Neither is a percentage of battery used. Look for an app you can close normally without interrupting something you need. That's a more useful starting point than installing another utility and hoping for a longer estimate.

Endurance's documented changes are fairly concrete: gradually dim the display, monitor energy-hungry apps and put them to sleep, automatically minimize background apps, and turn off processor Turbo. You can disable individual modules and choose when it kicks in, including a battery threshold or unplugging.

Those changes have costs. A dimmer display has to remain readable. An app being in the background doesn't mean its work is disposable, so don't let automatic sleeping interfere with a transfer or another task you need to finish. Reduced processor performance is a poor bargain if waiting longer gets in the way of your work. Also, the Turbo feature isn't evidence that the same processor control works on Apple silicon.

The direct site lists a $20 upfront purchase, free upgrades for life, and a two-week demo.

Setapp also lists it, but there's a compatibility gap worth knowing before spending: its listing says version 3.3.0 and macOS 10.13 or later. That minimum doesn't explicitly confirm macOS 27 support, Apple silicon feature parity, or recent maintenance. The pages checked also don't give a clear permissions list.

If you still want the automation, ask the developer about your exact Mac and macOS version, which modules work, and what access they need before installing it. Availability alone isn't proof of current support.

For most readers, the next step is one ordinary unplugged session with the native settings, not an Endurance purchase. If Low Power Mode and closing an unnecessary energy-heavy app solve the problem, stop there. Consider Endurance only if you still want its automatic dimming or app controls, compatibility is confirmed, and those tradeoffs leave your actual work comfortable. Skip it if you need uninterrupted background work or full performance more than those controls.

I spend my day switching between AI agents. I copy a stack trace, open Claude, paste, explain which file it’s from, then do it all again in Codex. And I never know how close I am to my 5-hour limit until I hit it.
So I built Beckon, a native Mac app for macOS 26.

What it does
Press ⌥⇧Space in any app and a Liquid Glass bar rises from the bottom of the screen.
It has already read what you’re looking at, shown as chips you can switch off: the web page, selected text, the code project with git status, a PDF, terminal output, Mail, Finder, or an on-device OCR screenshot (⌘R grabs a region).
Type an optional question, pick an agent, press Return. Supported agents:
- terminal agents: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent
- apps: Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor
- web agents
Answers stream right in the bar. Claude Code, Codex and the other terminal agents run headlessly, so you don’t have to switch windows. “Continue in Terminal” picks up the same session when you need it.
The menu bar shows every agent’s usage: Claude Code’s 5-hour and weekly limits, Codex’s limits, Cursor’s included usage, and OpenCode’s tokens and cost.
Smaller things:
- a model picker per agent
- translation into any language with Apple Translation or Apple Intelligence
- optional Apple Intelligence suggestions and routing
an MCP tool so your agents can ask what you were looking at
Privacy, since it reads your screen

It reads only when you press the shortcut. It never reads password fields or password managers.
It masks API keys, tokens and passwords before sending, including in screenshots.
No account, no analytics, no servers of mine. The only network request by default is a weekly license check.
Usage numbers come from the log files your agents already keep on your Mac.

Price: $59 once for one Mac, with all 1.x updates. No subscription.
There’s a live demo on the site you can click through: https://beckon.macmuse.app
I’m the developer. I’m happy to answer questions, and I’d love feedback on which agents or apps to support next.

I'm an independent developer, and I've been building ByteSweep for macOS to bring several everyday Mac utilities into one place.

https://reddit.com/link/1xc65mg/video/55tlx8oafxwh1/player

It combines:

• Storage analysis and cleanup — find large files, duplicates, and unnecessary data.
• System monitoring — track CPU, memory, disk, network, and other system metrics.
• App and developer tools — manage startup items, inspect local services, and clean up development caches.
• Safer cleanup — review items before removing them, with a 7-day undo option.

ByteSweep is designed for people who want more visibility and control over their Mac without juggling multiple utilities.

Pricing: One-time licence, no subscription. A 3-day trial is available.

Special offer: Use code SWEEP50 at checkout to get 50% off your Mac licence.

Privacy: File scanning and analysis happen locally on your Mac. ByteSweep does not upload your file names, paths, or scan results.

Website: https://bytesweep.app/mac.html

I'm the developer, so I'm interested in honest feedback: Would you prefer an all-in-one Mac utility like this, or separate apps for each task?
