Looking for a Countdown app with Mac menubar and iOS widgets
Hi. I am looking for a countdown app that syncs across Mac and ioS, uses the menubar on Mac and widgets on iOS. So, something like a fusion of Moment and Pretty progress . Any ideas?

Vois 2.0: local Voice AI studio for Mac with 100+ voices, Voice Design, no per character meter
https://i.redd.it/86f9gtt9vd7h1.gif
I am Praney, founder of Vois. I posted an earlier version here a few months ago, and this is a Vois 2.0 update for people who who need local TTS for their AudioBooks, Podcasts, Games, Voiceovers, Faceless Youtube videos, without counting tokens.
About me and Vois:

Problem:
Cloud TTS pricing punishes iteration.
If you are making an audiobook, podcast, YouTube voiceover, app narration, training script, or game dialogue, the workflow is not one clean generation. It is retakes, pacing fixes, pronunciation edits, alternate reads, chapter revisions, and lines that are technically correct but emotionally wrong.
Most cloud voice tools make every retry feel billable. They also require your scripts to leave your machine.
Vois is built around the opposite workflow: generate locally on your desktop, keep scripts on your machine, and redo lines without watching a per-character meter on paid plans.
What changed since my earlier r/MacApps post
Vois 2.0 is now much closer to the full local voice studio I originally wanted to build:
\- 100+ studio-quality voices across creator, narrator, app, assistant, and character categories.
\- Voice cloning from a consented sample on paid plans.
\- Voice Design in Pro, so you can describe a voice instead of only picking from presets.
\- Omni in Pro for 600+ languages.
\- Script, cast, generate, retake, master, and export in one app.
\- Local generation on Mac Apple Silicon and Windows.
\- No script upload for generation.
The thing I care about most is the iteration loop. You should be able to try the line again without doing character-budget math in your head.
Comparison:
ElevenLabs, Murf, and PlayHT are strong cloud voice tools, especially if you want a browser-first service or hosted API workflow.
Vois is different in a few ways:
\- It is an installable desktop studio, not just a web prompt box.
\- Generation runs locally instead of sending scripts to a cloud TTS service.
\- Paid plans are flat subscriptions rather than per-character usage pools.
\- The workflow includes editor, voice casting, retakes, mastering, and export.
Compared with wiring open-source voice models yourself, Vois is for people who want the studio around the model: voice library, project workflow, timeline, mastering, export, and a Mac-friendly product surface.
Pricing
Normal pricing:
\- Subscriber: USD 29/month.
\- Pro: USD 49/month.
Founders pricing is open this week for the first 100 founders and starts at USD 10/month:
\- Subscriber: use FOUNDERLOCAL.
\- Pro: use FOUNDERPRO.
Monthly only. Ends June 21. Founders keep the monthly rate while the subscription stays active.
Pricing page: https://vois.so/pricing
There is also a free trial so you can test the workflow before deciding.
What I would love feedback on. Happy to answer technical questions too.

Requesting Screenshot App for Mac - FOSS preferrred
Looking for a screenshot app on Mac
\- I am aware of Cmd Shift 5, but it is too much finger gymnastics since I take screenshots often.
\- I prefer to annotate (line, arrow, box, rectangle, add text, blur) and to repeat same area capture again.
\- I used to use Shottr which was great but it is not Open source, and it has nag/reminder screens which appear more than once lifetime. I prefer to avoid this, if there is a good alternative.
\- I have used Flameshot on Windows, and I tried it on Mac, but it did not feel reliable, nor did it feel native. Link to Flameshot.
Any recommendations for a good one on Mac? Free and popular open source preferred.
