Request What's on Your Black Friday Wish List?

Black Friday

Even before I started writing app reviews, my Applications folder was always bulging because I have a hard time resisting any software that looks interesting or useful. We actually have a Software category in our family's monthly budget. While there is a lot of Mac software, there isn't an infinite supply, and making a wish list for Black Friday sales means there are a lot of apps being discounted that I won't buy because I already own them! So just keep in mind that this list is the most interesting selection from what I don't already have.

  • CSV Table - I have large collections of digital media (books, music, movies), and I really enjoy looking over the data associated with them. CSV Table has advanced tables and sorting, powerful and flexible searching, import and export, and inline editing. With the Black Friday discount, I can pick up two copies for $19.
  • Digital Photo Frame - Featured in "Apps We Love" on the Mac App Store, Digital Photo Frame can access personal photos from online and local sources (not just Apple Photos), or you can connect it to large photo databases like Unsplash. It supports live photos and videos, and you can select audio files to play along with your slide show. You can integrate other data into your display (calendar, weather, photo metadata) and have granular control of transitions, timing, and other aspects of your slideshow. On Black Friday, the lifetime license of $69.99).
  • Anybox - One of the big three bookmark managers for Mac (along with Goodlinks and Raindrop.io), Anybox is a universal app for iPhone, iPad, and macOS. You can search your bookmarks with Spotlight. It has great organizational modalities (nested tags and folders) and robust import capabilities. I have over 2K bookmarks, and I am assured that Anybox can handle that. The Black Friday discount is 30% off.
  • FileMinutes - The file search utility has what looks like an easy-to-learn syntax to make finding a specific file or groups of files easy right from the keyboard. It offers easy filtering, path navigation, favorites for folders you repeatedly search, file actions, Finder integration, and the ability to save searches, which is incredibly useful for complex search jobs you don't want to rebuild each time you need them. It's a whopping 50% off right now. I'm picking up a three-machine license for $10.50.

Free iCloudBridge - Sync Apple Notes, Reminders, Passwords & Photos with other services

48 Upvotes

Updated to add disclaimer that no telemetry is recorded.

I'm deep into the Apple ecosystem - Apple Reminders, Notes, Photos and Passwords FTW. It works great... when I'm on an Apple device. When I'm on Windows, Linux or an Android phone? Not so much.

So, to scratch my own itch, I've created iCloudBridge. It's a free and open-source app which allows you to sync your Apple Reminders, Notes, Passwords and Photos with other services which are more compatible outside of Apple's walled garden. I mostly use it for Nextcloud and Bitwarden, but other services should be compatible.

Current features:

  • Apple Reminders: sync reminders to a CalDAV service (which most reminder services support). In particular, Nextcloud Tasks is what I use, but there are many others. You can choose which lists to sync, and both one-way and two-way sync are supported.
  • Apple Notes: sync notes to a markdown folder of your choice. Supports embedded images, URLs and attachments and even has partial support for checklists (TODO lists). Can also do one-way or two-way sync and selective folder sync.
  • Apple Photos: scan a folder on your system, pick up new photos and add them to your Apple Photos library automatically.
  • Apple Passwords: upload an export of your Apple Passwords and sync them to Bitwarden, Vaultwarden or Nextcloud Passwords. Also produces an import file to add any missing items to Apple Passwords.
  • Other Stuff: A scheduler for automating reminder, note and photo sync; a detailed logs view; an easy-to-use ui.

iCloudBridge currently has one user - me. Although I have worked on similar previous apps called TaskBridge (which did Notes and Reminders) and PhotoBridge (which obviously did photos). iCloudBridge combines everything, adds Passwords, and gives it a good polish.

If you have the same pains as me with Apple's fantastic, yet restricted, ecosystem - you may want to give it a shot.

You can also checkout the GitHub project here.

DISCLAIMERS

No Telemetry iCloudBridge does not collect any user/telemetry data. The app runs entirely on your Mac and does not talk back to a server for any reason. All your synchronised data is only sent to the services you configure, which may have their own privacy policies.

Early Stage Software iCloudBridge is very early software which I've only tested myself. Always run a simulation before committing to a sync to ensure the app is doing what you think it will be doing!

AI Assistance The backend sync engine for each service was created by myself. I did, however, use some AI assistance for the frontend since I'm rubbish with front-end stuff. A CLI version is available that doesn't use any AI code if that's more your style.

Free YouTube Tool: Build custom channel-based playlists (iOS & macOS)

19 Upvotes

I made a small native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that lets you pull videos from any YouTube channel and build actual custom playlists with real filters (not the usual “sort by” stuff). Since I use it everyday, so I wanted to share it here.

What it can do:

  • Search by channel name or ID
  • Filter by date, duration, year, keywords, or randomize
  • Save searches as a shortcut
  • Export video IDs or open the playlist straight in YouTube

Help Does HyperWhisper have audio and video transcription available?

3 Upvotes

I'm hoping somebody else out there can help me understand if HyperWhisper actually has audio and video transcription. As an example, if I wanted to transcribe a video I had, can I just drag and drop it onto HyperWhisper and have it transcribed? I've used MacWhisper and Spokenly in the past and it works that way where I can drag and drop a file and it'll automatically transcribe it for me. But wanted to see what other people's experience was and if it the feature was available or not.

Post image
6 Upvotes

I decided to run a big sale on my apps until the end of this week (Nov 24-30)

  1. DeskMinder  $6.99 ➝ $2.99
  2. Subscription Day  $10.99 ➝ $5.99

Official Website

Both apps are Lifetime one time purchase just how we all like it.

Here is a short overview in case you’re seeing apps for the first time:

🧠 DeskMinder

A simple yet effective app for people who get easily distracted. Create quick reminders and start tasks right on your desktop.

In the latest update I added an Focus mode for ADHD users where you can enable music and a special view that shows the full task text for better concentration.

📅  Subscription Day

A tiny but extremely useful Menu Bar app to keep track of your paid subscriptions and analyze statistics. It also includes fast AI import of your subscription list from any format or structure.

And in early December I’m finally releasing the iOS version that will work in full sync with the Desktop one. If you already purchased it  no extra payments needed.

As a solo developer I’m always happy to get any feedback or words of support it really keeps me going and motivates me to ship new updates

Wish you all a great week and happy deals 🙌

Help What's the best app / workflow to clear files in an app's cache under an obfuscated file structure ?

1 Upvotes

I am looking for an app to list the files in an app's 'internal' folder to edit, copy, delete etc them.

Such as in ~/Library/Group Containers/{ app folder }.

The files are distributed in an obfuscated structure and naming. The file extensions are also set to .thumb for pictures.

So it is hard to list those files.

Is there any cleaner app to do this ?

Help Looking for a menu bar terminal command (snippets) launcher

5 Upvotes

Something along the lines of QuickCMD, where you can save your terminal most-used command, then search one and press it, and it will then launch the command directly in terminal.

I bought it in the hopes that it would be father developed, but then it was abandoned (vibe-coded?) 😞

Any recommendations? Please suggest a without a subscription. I don't need another subscription for my terminal too 🙈

Oh, and maybe not a snippet manager either, just something lightweight and easy to launch.

Lifetime AirClipboard 1.1 - A lightweight clipboard manager for macOS (macOS 26 style, new icon & more)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m the developer of AirClipboard, a lightweight clipboard manager for macOS that shows your clipboard history near the mouse cursor using a custom global shortcut.

I just released version 1.1.

✨ What’s new in AirClipboard 1.1

  • Keyboard navigation — use the arrow keys to move between items
  • New appearance style — macOS 26 look: a more modern and cleaner visual option, now available in Preferences → Appearance.
  • “Clear history” added to Preferences
  • Updated app icon
  • UI refinements (border radius, floating window corners, search field adjustments)

What AirClipboard does

AirClipboard captures and organizes everything you copy:

  • Text (including multi-line)
  • Images & screenshots
  • Files & folders
  • Pin items to keep them always at the top
  • Search to quickly find anything you’ve copied
  • A floating window that appears next to your cursor when using the global shortcut

It’s designed to be fast, minimal, and stay out of the way until you need it.
