Question about rules for posting and self promotion
I recently posted an open source [app](https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1t1i119) here. Some people asked about notarization/updates/features. If I post an update for a new version, that for example adds Apple notarization and Sparkle for updates, does it count as self promotion? Not sure how else to communicate other than here and GitHub.
>it is not permitted more than once per developer in 30 days. This is counted from the last app post, even if it was removed. **For established, App-Flaired devs, once per app per month.**
Another question regarding frequency, qualification, transparency: in my case, I have a few GitHub projects ranging from \~65 to \~550 stars, dev page with privacy policy and terms, and I'm currently notarizing my apps.
* Do I qualify as the "established dev", or do I need the flair specifically?
* Does the limit "1 per month" apply to fully free/open source apps as well?
* Do app updates, e.g. "I added sparkle, please reinstall" count as self promotion?
Thanks in advance. Would be great to have some clarity on this.

Cling is awesome
I am really busy with work, so no amerpie style review but for those new to this forum, cling is amazing for searching files.
https://lowtechguys.com/cling/
They did two major updates lately that made this my main go to:
1) Drag files now.
2) Searches 100,000 filee limit.
For deeper search if you cannot find it in cling, Find Any Files.
Finally, if want to search within docunents, I find Fox Trot the best but I am open to suggestions.
Have a good day.

Substage - A Natural Language Command Line Tool for Finder That Makes Life Easier
[Substage](https://preview.redd.it/s6ji1mki5dzg1.png?width=812&format=png&auto=webp&s=e36900cb031822b20e3e7f4bfd9bf3194aec0611)
[Substage](https://selkie.design/substage/) is a command bar that attaches underneath your Finder window. To use Substage, you select files, type what you want in plain English, and Substage generates a Terminal command, simulates its side effects, and runs it (with confirmation where needed). Think of it less as an AI assistant and more as a natural language interpreter between what you want and the Unix tools built into macOS.
The key insight--the one that separates this from a chatbot bolted onto a file manager--is that the AI's job ends when the command is generated. After that, it's real shell tools doing the work: `sips`, `ffmpeg`, `zip`, `qpdf`, `pandoc`, `git`. No hallucinated output, no AI "trying its best." The command either works or it doesn't, same as the Terminal always has.
* **Developer:** Selkie Design - Joe Humfrey (u/joethephish)
* **Platform:** macOS 15.0 or later
* **Pricing:** BYOK - $39.99. [Currently on sale for $5 at Bundlehunt](https://appaddict.app/post/i-got-a-sneak-peek-at-the-spring-sale-at-bundlehunt)

# Let's Get one Thing Straight
No matter how many years you've been typing commands into a terminal, you'll have to admit that it can sometimes be laborious.Using natural language AI tools to get things done in the terminal doesn't make one lazy nor ignorant. It's a productivity tool. Personally, I use Substage at times when I'd otherwise reach for a separate converter, a manual sips call, when preparing to work in a folder that's six levels deep. My motivation is reducing friction, not a resistance to learning shell commands.
# Features That Matter
**Substage Predicts**
The feature that makes Substage stand out to me is the prediction model. Before any command runs, substage simulates it using an interpreter written by the developer that understands pipes, redirections, and individual tool arguments for hundreds of commands. It lets you see which fonts will be created, renamed, moved, or deleted before anything happens. Substage has an auto-mind system that lets you determine your personal risk threshold. Based on your ability to interpret commands. Read only will auto-run, and anything that deletes files will always ask for confirmation. Substage respects this every time.
**Instant Actions**
For basic tasks, Substage knows when to stay out of its own way. Short commands like `jpg`, `zip`, or `mp4` are handled locally, so there's no model lookup, no network delay, and no waiting around for something macOS could do instantly anyway.
**Command History**
Substage uses the same command recycling model that the terminal does - up-arrow to cycle previous commands and reuse them on different files. Small feature, but it makes batch workflows a lot more practical.
**Model Flexibility**
I have not used the subscription model, but based on the documentation, it defaults to GPT 4.1 Mini (snappy, handles the majority of use cases well). I have the BYOK license, which lets you point it at your own API keys or local models via Ollama or LM Studio. OpenRouter and Perplexity Pro also work via custom config.
**Global Shortcut**
Ctrl-Space by default. Summons Substage docked beneath whatever Finder window is active.
# Real-World Use Cases
These save me so much time and keep me from having to find some GUI wrapper for FOSS tools like ffmpeg and pandoc.
* Video conversion with explicit control over resolution, fps, and bitrate
* Batch image resizing across an entire folder
* PDF manipulation (merge, split, rotate pages, password protection, extract text)
* Document conversion via Pandoc (DOCX to Markdown, Markdown to HTML, EPUB)
* File metadata inspection ("Where did I download this?", "Why is this file greyed out in Finder?")
* Git operations (commit, push, branch switching)
* System queries (basically

* System queries (basically
information you'd get from system report - without having to run system report)
* Calculations via macOS's built-in `bc`\--deterministic, no AI guessing
# Honest Limitations
I really admire the developer's transparency when it comes to describing Substage's limitations.
Complex multi-step prompts are not consistently reliable--"convert, rename, and zip these in sub-folders" may work, but the more steps you chain, the higher the risk of the AI getting one detail wrong. Recommendation from the dev himself: break it into separate commands, run them one at a time.
No Finder replacement support (Path Finder, Forklift). If you're not using stock Finder, Substage can't see your selection.
**Default Folder X users: there are known conflicts.** The FAQ calls this out explicitly. I've been using DFX for 20+ years (and you should be too), so I have to take this into account.
Substage does NOT offer multimodal context--no image content analysis, no Whisper transcription (noted as planned), no image generation. It's a file operations tool, not an AI research assistant.
# The Verdict
Substage is a well-considered tool solving a real problem: the gap between what macOS's built-in tools can do and what most users know how to ask them. The natural language layer handles the syntax; the bash simulator handles the safety; the local tool execution handles the reliability.
It won't replace a Hazel rule for automated recurring tasks, and it's not trying to. What it replaces is the moment when you reach for a dedicated converter app, dig through a menu, or attempt to remember a `sips` flag you used six months ago.
Caveats: It can lag when following Finder. The Default Folder X conflict is a dealbreaker for some. And anything beyond a single-step file operation should be treated as experimental.
If you are frequently in Finder and occasionally want to convert, inspect, compress, or manipulate files without reaching for five different apps--Substage quietly removes a whole category of annoyances.

Mojave Paint 1.0.0 is in the Mac App Store
https://preview.redd.it/7z8p2csfmdzg1.png?width=1032&format=png&auto=webp&s=7195faa23aa1768eea8c720070f1333004fa2edd
Problem/Comparison: It seems like all the image editors out their are either a) AI obsessed, b) too content-forward (see https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/03/06/window-chrome-of-our-discontent), c) expensive and/or subscription, d) not respecting the UI paradigms built into everyone's muscle memory from decades of using Photoshop.
So I started a new one.
I was going to price at $20 but based on prior feedback in this subreddit I'm thinking $10 is better. Maybe it can increase as it gains more features.
Pricing: $9.99, get at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mojave-paint/id6759276677?mt=12
Target audience: designers and frontend developers, people with fairly advanced Photoshop skills, people who use layers, channels, masks and blend modes. Heck even other macOS app developers could be customers, if they're building custom looking components instead of relying on native SwiftUI for everything. And in fact all the tool icons and custom tab graphics in Mojave Paint were made in Mojave Paint. As was the "About" screen graphic, and the screenshot images in the App Store.
Thanks for looking!

Built a dictation app for Citrix/VDI/RDP (it types keystrokes, not paste)
I know there are a million dictation apps out there. I'm not gonna pretend this is some breakthrough. But I couldn't find one that solved the exact problem I kept running into, so I built DictaFlow.
Problem
I spend a lot of time in Citrix and remote desktop sessions for work. Every dictation app I tried relied on pasting text, and every remote client I used blocked paste. I'd dictate something, try to insert it, and nothing would happen. Sometimes it landed in the wrong window. Sometimes it just failed silently and I lost what I said. It happened constantly, so eventually I gave up and started building my own.
Comparison
Apple Dictation is too basic, there's no mid-sentence correction, and it doesn't work in remote desktops. Wispr Flow is $18 a month but it still uses the clipboard, so it breaks in Citrix the same way everything else does. Dragon is expensive and Windows-only.
What makes DictaFlow different is that it doesn't paste at all. It simulates keystrokes, so to the remote desktop it literally looks like someone typing. No paste blocking, no audio redirection, no asking IT to change anything. It just works.
A few things I built in because I wanted them: Hold-to-Talk, because I hate always-on listening and that weird feeling of wondering if something's recording. Actually Override, which lets you fix a misspoken word mid-sentence by voice without touching the keyboard. I use that one constantly. And it works anywhere you can type, emails, Slack, VS Code, Epic, terminal, whatever.
Pricing
Local models are free. Cloud models are $7 a month. Wispr Flow is $18 for comparison.
Full disclosure, I'm Ryan, this is my app. I made it because I needed it. If you're stuck in the same locked-down remote desktop situation where dictation always breaks, maybe it helps you too.

Would this useful to anyone else in this sub? If so, I'd really appreciate to hear your thoughts. Thank you

Native English speakers: how does the app name “Titta” sound to you?
https://preview.redd.it/o63olhlk9hzg1.png?width=2078&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c400d089a3569caadda087f9da0165e6d009aa3
Hi r/macapps
I’m finishing a lightweight image viewer for macOS and I’m still unsure about the name Titta (Swedish for “look”). While early testing, I’ve received feedback that the word gives off an odd vibe in English, so I’d love a quick sanity check.
What I’d love from you
1. First thought: When you read or hear “Titta,” what do you feel or picture?
2. Name ideas: If you think Titta won’t land well, suggest a short, clear alternative that still says “image viewer” or “quick look.” Up-vote names you like.
Reward
I’ll DM a free App Store promo code to the top-voted alternate name (or to the commenter who convinces me to keep “Titta”) once the app goes live.
Problem
MacOS Quick Look might not be the best tool for handling big folders, and it doesn’t let you easily mark important files or compare images.
Power-user viewers exist, but many feel bloated or haven’t been updated in years.
Comparison
vs Xee³ – Xee³ is quick but lacks a pick/filter workflow and synced-zoom, higher RAM use, and its last major update was years ago.
vs ApolloOne – ApolloOne is feature-rich but heavier. Titta keeps navigation snappy and UI interactions lag-free even in huge folders.
vs Pixea – Pixea down-samples during browsing. Titta always shows each image at its true resolution while staying responsive.
vs Apple Quick Look – Titta keeps speed in large directories, remembers your picks, and shows thumbnails all the time.
Pricing
Final price not decided yet.
If you’d rather try it first, the TestFlight is here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/MgQB29yU (feedback welcome but not required for the name poll).
Thanks for helping choose a name that feels right! 🙏
