Sharing some Apps I use because I think they might be undervalued

A few (4) years ago, I was on this sub a lot trying to figure out some workflows in pursuit of a bigger creative (personal) project of mine. Involves writing, digital drawing, making a website, photography, stuff like that. Some music too.

In the last few years, there's been an explosion of posts like this"I had this problem, so I built an app" and it just got tiresome, so I muted this sub haha. Here's a few apps I have liked and have used for a few years.

\- Notenik for writing and markdown. Most people use obsidian and IA writer I think. I like Obsidian, Octarine is awesome too, and I think that dev has four hands and 20 fingers. I just keep coming back to Notenik. Very cool dev there too! There's also FS Notes and that's good! Another App I used for a long time is Notebooks App by Alfons Schmid - there's so many similarly named apps.

\- Zoomnotes (desktop and iPad). For sketching or handwritten notes. I think most people would use Goodnotes, Notability. You can also use Apple's own freeform which is great. I have Noteshelf 2 and Noteful 2 but Zoomnotes just feels like a really powerful 2000-2010ss program and I think that's why I also like Notenik.

\- Linea Sketch. Most people would buy Procreate, I imagine. With Linea, you can send your images to Mac. I like Amadine too and have had that since 2022. It's vector, but you can draw freely. Mac and iPad. There's a million drawing apps.

\- Affinity Suite V2. I use Designer for like, logo and icon stuff, and made my business Logo with it. But I sketched it out in Linea first! I use Affinity Photo for astro stacking. I haven't tried photoshop yet but I know it can do it. I use Lightroom Classic exclusively but have other apps for backup or one-offs editing.

\- VS Code. I tried Nova, Atom in 2022 but it got discontinued, Zed, Coteditor, BBEditor, and a few IDEs but for a beginner like me, VS Code is well supported, and there's just a ton of videos and that ubiquity helps with learning at my stage. Coteditor is awesome and simple. I've made a few simple websites here - and it helped me understand how they're built but I'm not a coder or anything.

\- For productivity, I use Omni but tried Things. I use Simplemind for mindmapping. I wanted to love Marknode - it seems perfect for combining a lot of my work and visuals, but it didn't click for me. I also use Keyboard Maestro and Steermouse and they help me make music and edit photos more easily.

Anyways, I'm a millennial, drank the apple kool aid in the 2000s when they said you can create anything, and now I have the time and means to do so. The biggest realization I had, not that I'm any expert, is that basic programs work. So I could use iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Freeform, etc. and I think I'd be just as creative and feel just as accomplished. I thought I needed Logic Pro to make something awesome. I just needed to improve haha. The other realization I had was 'have a clear idea' and that's actually pretty difficult when you're making a story from scratch. But in second place, it's 'have a clear process' so that you can revisit ideas easily, and insert them when they fit.

Anyways, if anyone reads this I'd ask - if you're using an app that finally 'clicked' for you and helped you do your thing, I'd love to hear about it!

I'm looking for a Finder plugin that can also create files. The standard Finder can only create folders.

RiftMate - auto-record and review League games on Mac

Hi r/macapps,

I'm the developer of RiftMate, a native macOS app for League of Legends players who want an easier way to record and review games after they finish.

Problem

Recording a match is easy enough. Reviewing it is the annoying part. On Mac, most options still leave you with a long video file and a lot of manual scrubbing just to find one death, one dragon fight, or one bad objective setup.

I wanted something that could just sit in the menu bar, record automatically, and make post-game review fast instead of tedious.

Compare

QuickTime Player and OBS can both record your screen, but neither is really built for reviewing Leaue games afterwards. RiftMate is focused on that part.

It auto-detects when a match starts, records in the background, and then gives you a synced timeline for kills, deaths, dragons, barons, heralds, turrets, inhibitors, and bookmarks so you can jump straight to the moment you want.

Compared with generic recorders, the main difference is that RiftMate is built around review, not just capture.

Features

Menu bar app that stays out of the way and auto-records when a League match starts
Synced event timeline for kills, deaths, objectives, and bookmarks
Click any event to jump straight to that moment in the replay
Toggable privacy filter to only record League video/audio.
Hotkey bookmarks during the game
Death-only review mode
Game library with champion, KDA, result, duration, search, and filters
Local stats and team comps for each game
Recording settings for resolution, bitrate, queue selection, game audio, and mic
Everything stays local on your Mac. No account, no uploads, no cloud

Pricing

Any software to make the keyboard shortcuts the same as Windows?

I have to use a Windows machine for my work, jumping between both is more painful than it needs to be. That and I've used Windows machines for almost 30 years, the keyboard shortcuts are burned into my brain.

Is there any software which is a one click everything is the same as Windows. As in it's ctrl + c to copy, the home/end keys move the cursor to the end of the line etc. The " and @ keys are reversed.

Can someone make a better settings app.

RT. Tired of the settings app being slow, buggy, and what not. Mainly looking for managing privacy&security permissions for apps, don't care about iCloud and stuff like that.

Best or good? Mac Slicer for 3D printing?

I'm getting into 3d printing. I've done some test models using the models that came with the printer, but now i need a Slicer.

There's a few that came with the printer like "Cura", which seems to be the main one out there.

Are there any built for mac, nice easy, it just works, type programs out there?
