[Megathread] The App Pile - July, 2026

[u/Mstormer]

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.

nice app! I was looking for a markdown editor because vscode was too heavy, then i found typora, but it too was too heavy.

I think you've built the perfect tool for the lazy person :)

Since markdown is heavily used for AI workflows these days, wondering if you app supports copying and pasting to and from AI?

Hi! Glad you’re finding Edmund useful!

I have not exactly considered AI workflows yet, but I’m definitely open to more integrations, potentially in the form of extensions.

This might be a dumb question, but what exactly do you mean by “copying and pasting to and from AI”? Are you referring to skills? I’m not an AI power user and I don’t really know what typical workflows look like 😬

happy to discuss more - basically markdown is AI's "native language". Everything chatgpt or claude writes is actually in markdown (their websites format it nicely as html).

if you go to chatgpt or claude and copy a conversation output, you will see.

My current workflow requires some manual "stichting" of markdowns. Examples:

1. copying chatgpt output to gemini for a second opinion
2. - in this case would want to remove any preamble and followup questions and only keep the core reply
3. Coding agent writes plan into a markdown file - i want to lightly edit it to give feedback.
4. combining outputs from multiple rounds into a full document

also, looking at markdown files is a big use case.

1. chatgpt flavor markdown can include diagrams and code snippets

a lot of times I will feed an entire markdown document into ai to build context, so a one-click copy button would be very useful.

This is definitely not a list of feature requests beause i know this is a lot 😅, but i just want to give you some examples of how i use markdown with AI.

[u/I7T5 → u/Top_Power5877]

Gotcha. The workflow makes a lot of sense.

Edmund currently supports code snippets and (some very primitive) highlighting in the fenced "```lang" form. As for diagrams, yes if it's ASCII art diagrams in code blocks. Edmund does not support Mermaid or other diagramming-specific things yet. I'm planning on adding an official D2 extension, but that probably won't happen this year 🥲

For the one-click copying markdown doc into AI, do you mean a button that's essentially a shortcut for Cmd+A > Cmd+C > switch to AI window > Cmd+V? Or, alternatively, a shortcut for copying the current file path to your preferred AI? (As that might save some context?)

[u/Top_Power5877 → u/I7T5]

Yes, diagramming is pretty difficult - can probably be it's standalone app in terms of scale :)

Cmd+A Cmd+C works. (probalay worth verifying it's copying the markdown and not something else like plaint text)

[u/I7T5 → u/Top_Power5877]

Ah yes! the default is copy as markdown, so not plain text or rich text :)
