Is backdrop worth 12.49 euros?

I recently got a 50% discount code that brought the lifetime plan down to €12.49. Wanted to ask if anyone here thinks it's worth it at that price. Is it worth it or is there a better alternative for the money?

Greeting Card Software for M3 Macbook Air with Cannon Inkjet Printer Recommendations Please

Back when we used a Windows laptop we used Hallmark Studio, but according to the reviews for the Mac version on Amazon, it's not great on Macs.

So what is a good choice? I would prefer to NOT pay for a subscription, if possible. From what AI has told me, that probably rules out Canva.

Thank you!

I built Aira, a free teleprompter for Mac that stays hidden on calls

https://reddit.com/link/1tar1aw/video/fsvnodblxm0h1/player

Hey r/MacApps,

I’m a second-year computer engineering student, and I recently built my first Mac app: Aira.

**Problem:**

I made Aira because I kept having HireVues, and last-minute presentations where I didn’t always have time to memorize/ learn everything. I wanted a simple teleprompter that stays close to the camera, scrolls as I speak, and doesn’t show up in screen sharing or recordings.

Aira sits just below the camera on your Mac and supports three scroll modes, word highlighting, a built-in script editor, keyboard shortcuts, external monitor support, optional Pill Windows, and a Progress Bar to help you keep track of where you are in your script.

It uses WhisperKit for on-device speech recognition, so your voice stays on your Mac. Built in Swift. No account needed.

**Comparison:**

The main alternatives I found were apps like Moody, Textream, and Notch Prompter.

Moody looks polished, but it costs $29.

Notch Prompter is cheaper at $4.99, but I wanted to build something free.

Textream is free and open source, but it is not notarized, so installing it may require extra steps like removing quarantine attributes manually. I think that can make some users hesitant.

Aira is trying to be the simple free option for Mac users who want something built around calls, interviews, and presentations. The main differences are:

* free
* Mac App Store distribution
* speech-based scrolling using WhisperKit
* accurate word-match scrolling
* hidden from screen sharing and recordings
* no account required
* on-device speech recognition



**Pricing:**

Aira is free.

Website: [https://useaira.co/](https://useaira.co/)

I decided to make it free because I’ve relied on a lot of free software as a student, so it felt right to do the same here.

Would love for you to try it and let me know what you think.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a new project called Scorpi — a Docker-like VM development platform for macOS focused on lightweight virtualization and fast developer workflows.

The goal is to make local VM-based development simpler and faster on macOS without the usual overhead.

I’d really appreciate feedback, ideas, bug reports, or contributions.

Please help me choose a plain text editor

Hello!

I always write my drafts in Drafts and my longer texts in iA Writer.

Every now and then, I need to open the .txt files I create in the project folders in Finder (supporting materials and task descriptions).

I’d like something more visually appealing than the native TextEdit.

I found an app by Sindre Sorhus, whose SuperCharge helps me create text files in Finder, called Plain Text Editor.



Description from the website:

How is the macOS version better than TextEdit?

\- Editor padding

\- Optimal line spacing and length

\- Word count

\- Hide the title bar

\- Translucent background

\- Window can stay on top

\- Force dark/light mode

\- Brain dump mode



Will this app settle the matter of a plain text editor?

I really like the programs from the esteemed Sindre and really want to support him with a purchase. At any other time, I would buy it without hesitation, but things are a bit tight right now, so I’ve decided to play it safe.



P.S. If the esteemed Amerpie has tested this app and could provide a brief comparison with TextEdit and, for example, Drafts—which I’m already quite familiar with—I’d be doubly grateful.

Please help me decide.

Thank you!

Zip & Rar files handling

Coming from Windows, Winrar and 7z are the best in the platform but when i got a Macbook, i still suffer from extraction or compressing files. I tried keka and peazip but still not get that snappy and easy way of doing this simple task.

Can you recommend me any other app beside these or tell me how to get the best of them in case i am using them wrong ? thank you
