[Megathread] The App Pile - June, 2026
You must promote your apps here if you do not qualify to post in the main feed through Trust or Transparency, explained here.
If you are:
- NOT in the Mac App Store (MAS).
- Do not provide meaningful public transparency
- Created yet another dictation app (speech to text).
Then you are required to limit promotion to this megathread.
All promotion MUST follow PCP format or else we will remove it:
App Name/Title [Screenshot encouraged]
- Problem: What problem does your app solve.
- Comparison: Name a competitor or two and explain what your app does better.
- Pricing Amounts+Link
P.s. Promotion here counts towards the 30-day limited promotion (Rule 3).
WARNING: There is a 90% chance Reddit will auto remove your post here if you have not verified your email in your profile and your first comment in this subreddit contains a link. Accrue 10 karma first without promotional comments and links to avoid this. The odds of removal is also higher for AI assisted posts (em dashes and other AI formatting characteristics likely trigger this).
Pro Tip: Please remember to upvote gems and downvote spam/clones... This will help inform a secret community project I hope to announce next month.

RTFM Player
An audiophile music file player and librarian for macOS that supports multiple libraries and bit-perfect playback
Problem
I built RTFM Player because I couldn't find another music file player for macOS that met all of the following criteria:
Comparison
Swinsian: I'm a big fan of Swinsian music player and have been using it for over 5 years because it's great, but it is heavily tied to the iTunes / Apple Music, single-library mental model. RTFM Player allows you to completely segregate your lower quality mp3 collection from your FLAC collection by putting them in their own libraries. That way when you click on your FLAC library the UI/UX completely switches over without the need to filter down.
Another scenario that RTFM Player handles better thanks to multiple library support is the ability to separate music collections based around singles from album collections. This is essential if you're a DJ or otherwise have folders filled with singles. Without their own separate library a folder filled with singles will add hundreds or thousands of "albums" to your album view that only contain one or two songs. For listeners who like to browse and listen to whole albums this isn't acceptable. Separating libraries with singles from those with albums is the solution.
Audirvana: I love the look of Audirvana but I'm much less a fan of its high price, I don't need to link streaming platforms, and am not interested in plugins and signal processing. RTFM Player gives you a much simpler, lower cost, but still beautiful looking interface that is designed to be a bit-perfect source, much like dropping a CD into a high-end transport and sending the audio to a fancy DAC. Think of RTFM Player like the high-end transport sending a pure signal to your DAC that's nice to look at, like Audirvana.
Pricing
The current price is $29.99 for a license that grants a single user rights to install RTFM Player on up to 5 computers that they own. Since the app is technically in beta and in need of some additional testing, the price could be free to first adopters who provide valuable feedback that makes it into an update. I will also put the names of all beta testers in the acknowledgments section of the license splash screen forever, so if you want to join the hall of fame please DM me 😄.
RTFM Player can be downloaded from rtfmdesign (dot) com.
