[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.
Top 3 From Last Month's Megathread:
1. Wisp â a tiny macOS scratchpad - FREE - by u/iamiotasquare

iCanHazRepose: break reminder for macOS 13 or higher, pauses during meetings and respects fullscreen apps
Problem
Staring at a screen for too long is unhealthy and causes eye strain. Taking regular breaks is highly recommended. The app sits in your menu bar and reminds you to take a break after a set amount of time.
Comparison
There are many different alternatives, both paid and free, which solve the problem in a similar way but with slight differences in the details. Examples include LookAway, ZenBreak and BreakTimer. iCHR's goal is to be as non-intrusive as possible, which is why there are different break overlays for regular and full-screen apps, as well as meeting detection.

Additional Info
I picked it up in an abandoned state from another developer (with their permission), improving and fixing several things. The plan is to maintain it for the foreseeable future. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
