Quicklook viewers for GIS and data files

Hello, I started recently developing mac apps, I have shared here before about FinderPeek, a quicklook viewer for code and config files.

Now, I added 2 new viewers/apps for viewing GIS files, and data files like parquet, and sqlite.

Each one of them handles its files and make sure to give a good enough peek for a quick preview without having to fire up heavy software to just read a file or peek into the contents.

GIS Quick Viewer

Handles giving a quick look into the gis info/routes, and loads a tile from openstreetmap for visualization, along side the metadata on the sidebar.

App store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gis-quick-viewer/id6762661962?mt=12

Price: $5.99

Supported types: geojson, kml, kmz, gpx, gpkg, shp (Limited support)

App size: 4mb

Quick DataInsights

Handles a quick peek into the tabular data, renders jupyter notebooks, and gives a summary of the schema and diagram for sqlite files, with an option to copy create commands.

App store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quick-data-insights/id6764301485?mt=12

Price: $4.99

Supported types: parquet, db, sqlite, ipynb

App size: 10mb

For both I am constantly adding new types to support.
I have also created a bundle with all 3 apps for $12.99.

Thanks for feedback and suggestions!

Best tools for designing screenshots?

What tools do you guys use for designing appstore screenshots? Specially for Mac appstore? I’ve been designing primarily in Figma and I was wondering if there are any better tools that help, maybe with some templates to start with. Any tips would be appreciated

Almost every 3rd party mac app is a ram hog now, devs please

I know this isn’t new but it still pisses me off every time i open activity monitor when the app starts slowing down

why is Notion using a ridiculous amount of ram just to manage notes and docs
why is ChatGPT sitting there taking up more memory than apps doing actual heavy work
and somehow almost every third party app on mac is the same now

I know these are all electron apps but It feels like nobody cares about optimization anymore. My 16 GB RAM feels like the bare minimum now, which is insane considering what most of these apps actually do.

I think I'll have to upgrade now.

DiskCatalogMaker alternative? Free or cheaper?

This app is $39 from the web site, $79 for some reason from the app store. Anyone know of other mac apps for cataloging offline disks? To search them without mounting...

5 months after launch, I added a lot to OnText, a keyboard-first PopClip alternative for macOS

https://reddit.com/link/1tlcsnr/video/0f9i8r4d6v2h1/player

Hi r/macapps,

I posted OnText here once in December. Since then, I added some of the features I originally wanted the app to have, plus a lot of small improvements from actually using it every day.

Disclosure: I am the developer.

Problem:

I use selected text constantly, but copying it, switching to another app, pasting it into a chat window, then copying the result back breaks my flow. OnText is my attempt at a keyboard-first selected-text workflow: select text, press your hotkey, then run an action without leaving the app you are in.

The biggest change since my first post is Inline AI.

You can now:

\- select text in a Mac app

\- press the OnText hotkey

\- open Inline AI

\- rewrite, summarize, or ask a custom prompt

\- copy the result or replace the original selection in place

What I added around that workflow:

\- ChatGPT OAuth sign-in

\- provider support for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Ollama

\- attachment support for images, PDFs, and text documents, depending on the provider

\- prompt presets and conversation history

\- better selected-text sync

\- improved Markdown rendering for AI responses

Comparison:

PopClip is still the obvious comparison, and it is great if you want a mouse-first panel that appears automatically. OnText is aimed more at people who prefer a deliberate hotkey-first workflow: select text, press a hotkey, then choose the next action. It also supports custom actions through URLs, shell scripts, AppleScript, macOS Shortcuts, placeholders, regex/context rules, and Inline AI.

Pricing:

Free tier available. The app includes a 7-day Pro trial. Pro is $6.99 lifetime through Gumroad.

Current version: v1.5.46

Download/Website/docs/support: https://gityeop.github.io/OnText/

I am attaching a short demo video showing:

select text, press hotkey, open Inline AI, replace result.

I would especially like feedback on:

\- whether the hotkey-first workflow makes sense for your daily Mac use

\- whether Inline AI replacement feels useful or too much for a text action tool

\- which provider/attachment workflows you would expect to work

\- any apps where selected-text detection still feels unreliable
