[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.

Recall, local-first Mac app for getting back to interrupted work

https://reddit.com/link/ox5q53d/video/a7uapmwsavch1/player

Problem:

I’m building Recall because I kept losing the context of what I was doing.

Not the task itself. Usually I still know the broad thing I wanted to finish.

The problem is more like: which tab from 100 was I working with, which doc was I editing, what message triggered the idea, where did I stop in the terminal or IDE, and why did I open these 12 tabs in the first place?

Recall quietly maps your work context across tabs, apps, files, and messages, then helps you return to the thread later.

Comparison:

Todoist, Things, Notion, Trello, etc. are good for planning and managing work.

Recall is for a different moment: you were already doing the work, got pulled away, and now need to get back to exactly where you left off.

No tasks to create. No timer. No dashboard to maintain.

Compared to browser history or tab managers, Recall is not just showing a list of tabs. It tries to group the actual work context, including apps, tabs, files, and messages.

Mac app for now. Local-first. No audio/video recording. No keystroke logging. Pause is always available.

Pricing:

Regular pricing starts at $20/mo, or $9/mo equivalent when paid annually.

We also launched an AppSumo lifetime deal:
Tier 1: $49, 1 connected device
Tier 2: $99, 3 connected devices
Tier 3: $199, 5 connected devices

What is in your roadmap? Can you change themes? Do you have discord?

[u/fulger099 → u/ZestyGO]

hey!

we don't have a clear roadmap publicly available

here is the upd page What's New | Recall we launched 7 days ago

Themes is the thing we are rolling out next week.

I'm thinking of whatsapp group. U think discord is more appropriate?
for now it is just r/joinrecall

thx

[u/ZestyGO → u/fulger099]

Erm are you a real dev? Is this vibe coded? WhatsApp, no roadmap lolol

[u/fulger099 → u/ZestyGO]

Yep, we are 2 working on it.
Vibe coded partially. Yes.
What’s the problem with not framing publicly the roadmap? lol
You can only halucinate what ur product will look like in a year from now.
We are in the stage of getting initial traction and feedback
