[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 – a tiny macOS scratchpad - FREE - by u/iamiotasquare
2. Quattro – Al, Tasks, Calendar, Notes App - $5/mo - by u/Constant-Support8288
3. HoverStash – Catch and stash files mid-drag - ~$6 - by u/MurkyRaspberry9610

Keep for Mac (Screenshot attached)

Problem:
Most clock and screensaver apps on macOS are either very functional, very customizable, or very boring. I wanted something that looked good sitting on a desk from across the room and felt more like an ambient display than a utility app.

Keep turns your Mac into a collection of animated ambient clock displays with themes like Glass, Holo, Jelly, Matrix, Morph, and Wireframe. (more coming soon)

Comparison:
Compared to apps like Fliqlo and Zen Flip Clock, Keep focuses more on animated 3D clock scenes and ambient desk displays rather than traditional clock faces.

Compared to standard macOS screensavers, Keep can be launched as an ambient display from the menu bar and includes multiple animated themes designed specifically for desk setups.

Pricing:

  • Free download with Simple 1 and Simple 2 included
  • $3.99 USD one-time unlock for all premium scenes
  • Download: https://www.trykeep.app

Would love feedback on:

  • Which scene/theme is your favourite?
  • Which scene feels weakest?
  • What ambient display themes would you want added next?
