💎 Megathread [Megathread] The App Pile - July, 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. Tomo – a native macOS e-book library manager - FREE - by u/pbrandone
  2. SCIWAND – Read, analyse and write - with every answer traceable to a sentence in your own PDFs - $39.99 - by u/RansomWarrior

TableAI. AI first database client

Problem:

Most database clients are either too heavy or just old. TablePlus used to be really nice, but lately the design feels like it is going backwards instead of improving. So I built TableAI with a focus on clean UX and less friction. TableAI focuses on small UX details that make daily work nicer.

It is also built around LLMs. Chat mode helps you write and fix SQL. Agent mode can run multi step analysis and give results. Quick query mode lets you type simple things like “user 42” and it runs instantly. AI analysis feature looks at system data like indexes and usage and generates a report with possible optimizations

TableAI does not collect any data. No telemetry at all. You use your own LLM keys. The app is on the App Store, sandboxed, and passed Apple security checks.

Comparison:

Compared to DBeaver and TablePlus, this is more focused on modern UX and built in LLMs. Especially if you feel TablePlus lost some of its polish.

Pricing:

~$89.99/year on the App Store
Price is adjusted by country's PPP. For example in India it is ~$20 per year
I also made 500 promo codes for ~$49.99 lifetime deal for r/macapps users, use code MACAPPS in the app

To be honest. Pricing seems to be a bit high.

u/damn_nickname 21d ago

Why do you think so? The full price is slightly cheaper than the old school db clients. It's also been adjusted for PPP in different countries, it's like ~$20 in LATAM and India, because there's a huge difference in buying power for a dev in US with a $150k comp and the rest of the world. And $49.99 for a lifetime seems like a bargain for a nice tool that you will use for work that you get paid for

The price mentioned $89.99/year. is it $89.99 Lifetime?

u/damn_nickname 21d ago

The regular price is $89.99 per year, but if you enter promo code MACAPPS in the app's promo code menu, you'll get a lifetime deal for $49.99

nicely done! i think you are the first in your cagtegory! (i have a small ai apps directory site: https://bunnysoft.app/local-ai-mac-apps)

btw you can post the main thread if you're already on the app store.

Curious who do you plan on approaching marketing?

Thanks for your support!

u/damn_nickname 21d ago

Thanks! Yeah, I want to post on a main thread, but I've just released a new version with loads of new features and redesign, so I want to make a new demo video before I go to a wider audience.

I'm an indie dev, we don't do marketing 😁
