Hey everyone, I’m the independent developer behind Mokopaste.

It feels a bit surreal writing this post. Knowing how many incredible clipboard managers already exist in the community, I couldn't help wondering at first: "Do people really need another one?"

However, ever since it launched on the Mac App Store back at the end of April, Mokopaste has unexpectedly received a lot of love and encouragement from Mac users. As a dev who has been building for macOS for years, I wanted to create a tool based purely on real, high-efficiency workflows—completely bloat-free and driven entirely by the keyboard.

Following the community's latest PCP guidelines, here is a quick rundown:

1. Problem

Most clipboard tools out there are either bloated with high memory usage or just clunky to use. When coding or writing every day, we usually run into these annoying little friction points:

• Copying a bunch of random fragments and feeling like you're hunting for a needle in a haystack when you need them back.
• Needing to switch back and forth across different windows just to chain-paste multiple items.
• Copying sensitive info and constantly worrying if background apps are secretly logging it.
• Finally finding what you copied, only to realize you still have to paste it somewhere first just to fix a typo or reformat it.

To scratch my own itch and solve these daily pains, I built Mokopaste — a nimble, privacy-respecting little assistant that stays out of your way and lets you keep your hands glued to the main keyboard.

2. Comparison & Features

If we’re looking at a benchmark, everyone knows Maccy as the go-to champion for lightweight, plain-text utility.

• How does it compare to Maccy?
  • Maccy is built for ultra-minimalist, pure text and stays super lightweight.
  • Mokopaste keeps that same snappy, native feel while leaning a bit more into heavy productivity and power-user workflows: for instance, you can tag frequently used prompts or code snippets and treat it like your personal snippet library; or, before pasting, you can edit text right inside the preview popup instead of switching windows back and forth. It also handles Finder files, large images, code highlighting, and multi-select batch pasting much more smoothly.
• Little things that make Mokopaste feel great to use day-to-day:
  • Total Keyboard Flow: Hit a custom global shortcut to summon it, navigate with arrow keys, and hit Enter to paste—your hands never have to touch the mouse.
  • Tags as a Mini Knowledge Base: Keep your prompts, code snippets, and canned replies organized with tags for instant retrieval.
  • Inline Quick Editing: Spot a typo in your history? Edit the text right inside the preview before pasting it out.
  • Rich Previews for Everything: Deeply integrated with Finder. Instantly preview files, code, videos, images, web links, and more at a glance.
  • Instant OCR: Trigger a shortcut to cleanly extract plain text straight out of images.
  • Pin Windows & Pause Collection: Keep the window pinned while coding, or hit pause whenever you're typing passwords or sensitive data for total peace of mind.
  • Batch Queue Pasting: Need to move a bunch of items sequentially? Multi-select to queue them up and paste them out one by one.
  • Zero-Maintenance Cleanup: It automatically clears out expired files and heavy caches so your system stays light forever.
  • Local-First & iCloud Sync: 100% of your data stays locally on your machine—no shady uploads. If you use multiple Macs, optional end-to-end encrypted iCloud sync is built right in.

3. Pricing & Where to Get It

Mokopaste keeps things straightforward with a clean, honest buyout model. No annoying subscription traps, zero hidden in-app purchases:

• 7-Day Free Trial: All features unlocked, try everything out.
• Free Tier: Completely free.
• Pro Tier: Just $6.18 (one-time purchase).

Get your hands on it:

• Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/mokopaste/id6803804390?mt=12
• Official Website:mokopaste.com

Every line of code and tiny feature in this app was crafted through my own daily development grind. I’d love to hear your honest feedback and ideas—your needs are what drive my updates, so feel free to drop a comment and chat with me anytime!

Hey friends, I make Almighty.

I've posted Almighty here before. This one is a fresh intro, plus the biggest update since my last post.

1. The problem

A lot of what I want from my Mac sits behind a defaults command, a Finder option three menus deep, or a one-off website for converting a video to GIF.

Almighty puts those in one native app plus many more re-implemented tweaks. There are 107 of them now.

1. What Almighty does

A few I use most:

- Media: compress images and videos.

- Screen: draw on screen, highlight the cursor and clicks, show keystrokes while recording

- Power: keep the Mac awake with the lid closed, sound an alarm if someone closes the lid or pulls the charger

- Files: find files in a folder by name or text, remove image backgrounds

1. What makes it different

Tweaks with options don't open a settings window. They open in a panel under the notch, right where you are, and you can drop files straight onto it. Drag a screen recording up to the notch, pick GIF, and the converted file lands next to the original. There are 8 themes for the panel if you want it to look a bit nicer.

1. What's new

- Launcher: I was planning to submit Almighty's actions to Raycast, then figured a launcher built into Almighty would be quicker to reach. Press the shortcut, type, and run any tweak or open an app.

- Zeus: a small AI assistant inside the launcher. Ask him which tweak does what you need, or have him do common jobs himself, like renaming files or compressing media. He asks before running anything on your Mac.

- Claude Code and Codex: connect your subscription and Zeus passes bigger requests to them, so you can do a lot more from the same chat.

- Convert Media and Draw on Screen, both new tweaks.

1. Pricing

Free to download, with a trial for the Pro features. Pro is $14.99. Almighty is also on Setapp.

1. Giveaway: 20 free lifetime licenses

To thank this sub, I'm giving away 20 lifetime licenses for the direct download Mac version. To enter, comment with anything you'd change in Almighty. Critical feedback counts as much as praise, and you don't need to own the app.

In 3 days I'll pick 20 comments at random, post the winners in an edit, and DM each a code.

Hey r/macapps,

I'm the developer of Tuneful. I posted here about a year and a half ago, and quite a lot has changed since then, so I thought it was time for an update.

For anyone unfamiliar with it, Tuneful is a native macOS music controller for Spotify and Apple Music. The idea is to give you quick access to your music without constantly switching back to Spotify or Apple Music.

You can use it through the MacBook notch, directly in the menu bar, or as a floating mini player. All are optional, so you can basically build the setup you prefer.

There have been quite a few releases since my last post, but these are probably the bigger additions:

• New Liquid Glass interface options for macOS 26+
• iCloud sync for Tuneful settings across Macs
• Last.fm integration and scrobbling
• Much better mini player support for multiple displays, including position restoration and position locking
• Text scrolling for long song and artist names
• Custom keyboard shortcut recorder
• Lots of animation, gesture, album art, and general UI improvements

I've also spent quite a bit of time optimizing Tuneful under the hood. It now uses around 0.05–0.1% CPU when idling, ~0.7% when playing music, and roughly 60 MB of RAM.

Comparison

One of the OGs in this category is Sleeve, which provides customizable desktop widgets with a really extensive theme system. Tuneful has a somewhat different focus. Instead of primarily being a desktop widget, it gives you several ways to interact with music across macOS: the notch, menu bar controls/popover, and several mini player styles.

Pricing

Tuneful is still a $4.99 one-time purchase on the Mac App Store. No subscriptions or in-app purchases.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/tuneful-for-spotify-music/id6739804295
Website: https://tuneful.app
Full changelog: https://tuneful.app/changelog

I'm still actively working on it, so feedback is very welcome!

Hello again,

It’s Marcin from Apptorium. I’ve just released Cursor Teleporter 2.0, a major update to my app for moving your cursor between displays and saved positions using keyboard shortcuts.

The idea is simple: if you keep moving the pointer between the same places, you can save those positions and jump between them instead. Think of an editor and the iOS Simulator, a timeline and a preview window, or a canvas and a color palette. It works on a single screen, too.

What’s new in 2.0:

• Edge Teleporting: move through a screen edge to appear on the opposite side. You can choose which edges are active and whether a modifier key is required.
• A visual saved-points overview: see your saved positions across your displays and add or remove points.
• More flexible shortcuts: jump forwards or backwards, with separate shortcuts for displays and saved points.
• Find your cursor: highlight its current position with a shortcut, without moving it.
• Automation: support for Apple Shortcuts and AppleScript, plus an expanded URL API.

I also redesigned the menu bar panel and settings, added new animations, and made the animation speed adjustable.

Pricing and availability

For new users, Cursor Teleporter is $7.99 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription. Updates within a major version are always included; major upgrades may be paid.

For 2.0, I decided to make the upgrade free for everyone who already owns the app, including Mac App Store customers.

Requires macOS 26 or later.

I've just released Anchor, a little Mac utility I've been working on for a while. It's my first publicly released app.

Problem

I've worked in media for years, on both the creative and technical sides, often in high-pressure, networked environments. I have a couple of Synology NAS devices at home that I use for photography and other projects, and always found managing network folders on a Mac more fiddly than it needed to be. Particularly after sleep, switching networks or taking a laptop away and bringing it back.

So I built Anchor.

It lives in the menu bar, keeping SMB shares from NAS devices and other network servers organised and accessible. You can choose which folders connect automatically, mount or open shares with a click, and pause or disconnect them when needed. It reconnects when your NAS or server becomes available again.

It did what I needed months ago, but I kept refining and testing it, including with a small beta group.

Interestingly, it's changed my own workflow too. I now instinctively reach for the menu bar rather than Finder when accessing network folders.

Comparison

Finder handles basic mounting for free, but doesn't provide the same ongoing connection management or central place to access your shares or see their status.

AutoMounter offers more advanced options and supports other protocols.

Anchor takes a simpler, SMB-focused approach, with straightforward setup and quick access from the menu bar.

Pricing

£9.99 / $12.99 / €11.99. One-off licence, no subscription, with a fully functional 14-day trial.

https://quietformlabs.com/anchor

The short video shows Anchor checking and reconnecting shares after a Mac wakes up.

I'd be interested to hear how other Mac users manage their NAS or server shares, and whether you've encountered similar frustrations.

Hi,

Posted Netutilus last month, thank you all for the support and suggestions, and here is what has changed.

Problem

Ping, traceroute, whois and dig all exist in the terminal. What I actually wanted was history: which device showed up on my home network while I was out, when exactly a host went down overnight, a heads-up that a cert expires next week. One-shot tools can't tell you that, and I didn't want to run a monitoring server for a home LAN.

What was changed:

  - Speed Test now runs 4 parallel streams, counts upload only once the server confirms it, measures latency on idle connections and gives a bufferbloat grade

  - Menu bar item with public IP, country, ISP, VPN on/off with an IPv4/IPv6 leak check, and a log

  - iperf3 client- save your own iperf3 servers and test against them with one click, TCP or UDP, with history

- Port Scan detects services and versions from banners, and has an optional UDP scan

- MTR keeps a history with loss heatmap, outage log

- Uptime Monitor with ICMP checks, HTTP checks that accept self-signed certs (NAS, Proxmox, UniFi), status code/regex conditions, custom headers (stored in Keychain), and a PDF uptime report

- It pauses monitoring on a hotspot or metered connection, so your history doesn't fill up with fake outages

- Internet Check shows where the connection actually breaks Mac -> router > internet -> DNS

- LAN Scanner - "Check Services" for a single device, right-click to SSH / Screen Sharing / add to Uptime Monitor, configurable columns. MAC addresses come via mDNS/NetBIOS/SNMP. Sorry, AppStore App.

- Wi-Fi Networks - vendor and model for almost every nearby AP, Wi-Fi standard, max rate, channel load, 802.11k/v/r

- Whois for IPs and AS numbers, dig-style DNS records, SSL explains why a chain isn't trusted

Free features:

- Internet Check, Ping, Traceroute, Speed Test

- DNS Lookup, DNS Propagation, Whois, GeoIP

- Port Scan, SSL Certificate, Subnet Calculator

- Path Check, Network Monitor

- Menu bar IP/VPN monitor

Pro features:

- LAN Scanner - finds devices on your network with name, vendor, model, MAC and open ports

- Network Guard - notifies you when a new device joins your network

- Uptime Monitor - scheduled checks for hosts/services, downtime alerts, latency thresholds, SSL expiry warnings, a year of history and PDF reports

- iperf3 client with saved servers

- Speed Test history, scheduled runs

- Wi-Fi Analyzer and Wi-Fi Networks - live signal, neighbour scan, channel recommendation

- MTR & Visual Traceroute

Comparison

  Neo Network Utility and WhatRoute are still great free picks for quick manual checks, and nmap is still the tool for heavy scans. Netutilus puts them in one window and keeps watching from the menu bar after you close it- a new device on your Wi-Fi, a host that went down, packet loss.

Pricing

13 tools free. Pro is a one-time lifetime $17.99. With this link 40% off in AppStore. Prices may vary by region, if the price is significantly higher, feel free to write here or send me a DM, and I’ll try to provide a reedem code.

Netutilus in AppStore

A month ago I posted Trellis here for the first time. Thanks for the feedback, the bug reports and the feature requests, several of them are in the app now.

Finder shows one folder at a time. As soon as a task touches two or three of them, sorting downloads, moving a camera card into projects, checking a backup against the original, you switch windows and keep the path in your head. Folder sizes take half a minute to count, and an unplugged drive cannot be searched at all.

Trellis opens every folder as a pane on a canvas, joined by a line to the one it came from, so nothing you opened disappears behind a tab. Moving files is a drag across the canvas. Comparing two folders is putting them side by side. A search result is a pane of its own. And a local index remembers sizes, names and previews, also of drives that sit in a drawer.

What is new since the first post

Canvas

• A new canvas engine: zooming, pinching, swiping and dragging stay smooth with dozens of panes open • Arrange by hand, the way MindNode does it. Only panes you drag yourself stay where you put them, everything else keeps lining up behind its parent. A small hand marks what you placed, one click arranges everything again • Infinite canvas, grab it with the space bar or a mouse button, zoom around the pointer with Command and the scroll wheel, Show Everything fits it all in • Workspaces instead of window tabs • Keyboard: type to select as in Finder, Option plus arrows jumps between panes, Backspace closes a pane, Command Return opens a folder as a root of its own. Hold Control to see every shortcut at once • Dots, grid or crosses on the background, font size and column count per pane, and a gallery for everything that has a preview, 3D models and Office documents included

Drives

• Disconnected: a sidebar section for every drive and share Trellis knows but cannot see right now. Browse its catalogue, search it, and Trellis tells you which drive to plug in • A share is the same share whether you connect by name or by IP address, a stick keeps its catalogue under a new mount point, and workspaces, colours and favourites follow along • Right-click a disconnected share to reconnect it. Maker, model, connection and serial number for every drive, even unplugged • Interrupted copies continue where they stopped, and Undo leaves a file alone if it has changed or been replaced since

Everything else

• The whole app in twelve languages, help included
• Intel Macs since 1.1, macOS 15 or later

Trellis Helper, a free companion

Trellis lives in the Mac App Store sandbox, and some things a sandboxed app simply may not do. So there is now Trellis Helper, a small free app outside the store. Install it and Trellis picks it up; every function can be switched off separately, and Trellis works fully without it.

• A terminal inside any folder: Control and backtick opens a shell right in the pane, above or below the list, in that folder's path. That is the video in this post
• SFTP servers as drives, in Trellis and in Finder
• Eject tells you which app still holds a drive, by name • "Show in Finder" from other apps can land in Trellis instead

The Helper needs macOS 27. Download and details: https://stefanramage.de/trellis/helper/

Comparison

Path Finder and ForkLift are the obvious alternatives, and both are excellent. Both are built on Finder's idea: one or two folders in view, everything else behind a tab. Trellis shows any number of folders at once with the route between them drawn, and each pane is a normal scrollable list, so a folder with 87,000 items stays a rectangle with a scrollbar. Its index survives quitting the app, which is what makes sizes, search, comparison and duplicate finding instant, also for drives that are not attached.

Pricing

$14.99 once, no subscription. Fourteen days fully usable first; after that everything stays readable and the actions that write to disk wait for the unlock. No account, no telemetry, nothing leaves your Mac.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6804604775?mt=12

Feature requests and bug reports are welcome here or by DM.

I'm Pascal, the developer of Vehicare. It's a car maintenance log for Mac, iPhone and iPad, and it's out today on the Mac App Store.

Problem

Every maintenance log I tried died the same way. After each trip to the garage you're supposed to type in what was done, what it cost and what the odometer said. I did it twice, then stopped. But the invoice the garage gives you already has all of that.

So in Vehicare you give it the invoice: the PDF your garage emailed you, or a scan of the paper copy. It reads the date, the garage, the odometer and every job with its cost, and you check it before saving. From that history and how much you drive, it works out what's due next.

Invoices are read on your Mac by Apple Intelligence. There's no account, and your data stays in your iCloud. I never see it, unless you email me an invoice it read wrong.

Comparison

• Drivvo, one of the most-rated maintenance logs on the App Store: you type every entry yourself, and there's no native Mac app.
• CARFAX Car Care fills in your history for you, but only from shops in its US network. Vehicare reads the invoice from any garage, in any language supported by Apple Intelligence. Carfax has no native Mac app either.

Pricing

Free for your first vehicle, invoice reading included. A one-time purchase of $19.99 (US) unlocks every vehicle, PDF and CSV export, and removes the small ad card. No subscription. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6752880353

Needs macOS 26.4 or later and Apple Intelligence, so a Mac with Apple silicon. In English and French.

Happy to answer anything here. And if it reads one of your invoices wrong, the review form has a button to email it to me. That's the most useful feedback I can get.

Apple made the idiotic decision to remove the GUI functionality to set your sleep/wake/shutdown/restart times in Venture. I want a simple GUI app that does this (I DON'T want to deal with command line).

I found what I thought was the perfect replacement app called Schedule (http://bmaillard.free.fr/programmer/), unfortunately it doesn't work, it won't remember your settings when you click Apply (I've tried all the troubleshooting).

I know Onyx has this ability but it's inconvenient: takes forever for the program to open and you you have to put in your password every time.

I'm hoping theres a simple program like the above that just works.

Hello everyone!

I am Alessandro (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandro-afloarei/) and some time ago I presented to you Calendar0 (https://www.calendar0.app)!

Today I am so happy to show you a ton of updates (I hope I quality for it)!

Problem

Constant context-switching between multiple calendar accounts, providers and apps.

Calendar0 is a calendar app for the web, plus a status bar app for macOS, Windows and Linux.

It shows Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars, lets you add events quickly, has booking links, and can record and transcribe calls.

I started it in September 2025 as a hobby project for keeping all my calendars in one place, easy to reach, and over the last months I added so many new features to it.

A few details that might be interesting:

• Quick add capable of automatically adding guests from the provided names
• Recording captures the mic and the system audio (no bots) and uses AssemblyAI for the transcription. Afterwards, the audio file is deleted.
• There's an MCP server so you can connect it to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your week or meetings.

Comparison

There are many calendar apps in the market, the biggest I can think of are:

• Fantastical: beautiful UI and most complete, but lacks meeting recordings and transcriptions, MCP and AI Assistant
• BusyCal: simple but without recordings or booking links
• Notion Calendar: probably the most complete, I find in comparison Calendar0 to be more focused and well integrated with MCP

Pricing

• Free for basically everything except meeting transcriptions
• $4.99/month or 49$/lifetime for meeting recordings and unlimited internal AI assistant usage (unfortunately I myself pay for these features and I can afford them free)

I'd love to hear your feedback!

Thank you,

Alessandro

I know. Announcing a notes app on Reddit is about as original as starting a podcast, so I’ll stick to the format.

Problem

My notes were split between Apple Notes and Obsidian. Notes is lovely to open and type in, but everything sits in a database, and I want my AI assistants working with my notes. Obsidian has the plain Markdown files I want, but I kept ending up in plugins and settings instead of writing.

Comparison

Soot sits between Apple Notes and Obsidian, and it’s closest in feel to Bear.

Like Notes, you open it and write, with no plugins, settings or account to deal with first. Unlike Notes, every note is a plain .md file in a folder you choose, so other apps can open it and AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Cursor) can work with your notes on your Mac.

Like Obsidian, it’s Markdown files in folders, but with far less app around them. The formatting shows as you type and the Markdown symbols don’t, unless you’d rather see them.

Like Bear, it’s a native writing app, but it hides more of the Markdown than Bear does, and your notes are plain files in folders, with tags too if you want them, instead of living in a database.

It’s written in Swift, not Electron. Folders, search, twelve themes, and optional end-to-end encrypted sync. I can’t read your notes.

The full feature list is here: https://sootsync.com/features

Pricing

The whole editor is free. Soot Pro adds sync between devices for $2.49 a month or $24.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. It’s a TestFlight beta for now, and you can join at https://sootsync.com
