Looking for iMax OS app that...

Hi,

Awhile back I installed an app that will change the color of the screen after you reboot. It's before the wallpaper pic. It is just a solid color. I have looked and looked and can not figure out what app does this. Does anyone have an inkling as to what app will do this?

Thanks!

OS Doppel — a focused, safe duplicate finder for macOS (not a system cleaner)

To be clear upfront: this isn't a system optimizer or junk cleaner — it doesn't touch caches, logs, or anything system-related, and it never scans anywhere you'd need to poke around in /System or /Library to actually clean. It's for one narrow thing: the duplicate files you create yourself just by using your computer — a document saved in two folders, a photo copied to a backup and never removed, a download you grabbed twice. That's it.
Scans a folder (or a whole disk) and groups duplicates by content — size + a sampled SHA-256 hash, not filenames, so renamed copies still get caught
One click to keep the oldest or newest copy of each group and mark the rest
Filter by file type (images, docs, installers, etc.), Quick Look preview before you delete anything
Deletes to Trash, never permanently, with a confirmation showing exactly how much space you'll free
System paths and Xcode Simulator data are hard-excluded, so a scan never turns up something you shouldn't touch
Native SwiftUI, no dependencies, free, MIT-licensed, EN/PL UI
It's not notarized (no Apple Developer account), so building it yourself from source takes 30 seconds and sidesteps Gatekeeper entirely — instructions in the README. Built with Claude as a pair-programming assistant, happy to answer questions about how it works.

Active phishing/social engineering campaign targeting indie developers on Reddit

I want to warn other indie developers about a scam that recently targeted me.

Someone contacted me after finding my project on Reddit. They appeared friendly, referenced my product, and claimed they had discovered a security vulnerability.

Instead of disclosing the issue responsibly, they refused to provide any details and tried to convince me to pay for the vulnerability report.

While investigating, I found the website they were using to conduct this campaign:

`https://reddit-tool-kappa.vercel.app/`

The site's source code contains an email-sending interface with a pre-written outreach message targeting Reddit founders:

>

In other words, this isn't someone who happened to find my project. They have tooling specifically designed to identify founders on Reddit and send targeted emails at scale.

This is a social engineering attack. The goal is to establish credibility, create urgency around a supposed security issue, and pressure you into sending money or otherwise engaging on their terms.

If someone contacts you claiming they've found a vulnerability in your product:

Ask for enough information to verify the claim before discussing any payment.
Legitimate security researchers generally follow responsible disclosure practices.
Don't let urgency or fear pressure you into paying for vague or unverified claims.
Research the sender and any websites they direct you to.

I'm sharing this because I don't want other indie developers to fall for the same scam. If you've received a similar email or Reddit DM, please comment below. It would be useful to know how widespread this campaign is.

How is Cotabby coming along?

It’s been a little while since Cotypist-geddon. Just curious if Cotabby has kept, gained, or lost momentum in its effort to catch up to Cotypist?

Does it look like it will achieve parity any time soon, or is it years behind?

Shiori - A fast bookmark manager that keeps every Mac in sync. Fully keyboard driven.

Hey everybody!

We recently released our bookmark manager called Shiori.

Shiori lives in your menu bar, fully keyboard driven, called with a hot key and saves URLs in seconds, keeping them fully synced across your devices within seconds, using our cloud sync.

the video you can see me launching URLs, and they are directed to the specific browser profile I routed them to (with tag-based routing), using Link Groups to open multiple URLs at once and navigating the UI

# Platforms currently under development

Windows, Linux, Mobile, Google Chrome browser Extension.

# Core Features

\- Bookmarks are fully synced between devices, one license covers unlimited devices.

\- Tag-based browser routing - open tagged bookmarks on specific Google Chrome profiles (Beta is only for Google Chrome but will be extended to support more browsers based on requests).

\- Link Groups - Launch a group of URLs at once, with a single click.

\- Keyboard-driven access through the menu bar. Quick search bookmarks by URL, title, description or tag.

# Comparison

In comparison to bookmark managers such as Raindrop.io which is very feature rich, Shiori takes the leaner quick access approach.

* I am aware that there are a couple of other bookmark managers with the name Shiori (which means bookmarks in Japanese btw), they are not related to this app. Guess who's doing a better job at naming their apps next time :-)

# Pricing

Shiori is a one-time payment of €24.99 using code RMACAPPS for 50% off.

Ghost Downloader / Neat Downloader

I have, for the longest time, used Neat Downloader, and I have not found anything that matches its speed, but then again, when it comes to tagging every downloadable object on your screen, nothing beats it either.

Lately the rave seems to be the Ghost Downloader, and since I cannot pass up a good app, I had to download it. It looks great, but I can not convince it to show me an English screen, and even though others complain about the same problem, it doesn’t seem like anyone has an explanation for how to get the software to render in English.

A screen capture of the software does however, show that most people have a english version.

Has anybody in the group experienced the same problem or know how to force it to correct its error? I am not recommending the app just yet, so if a virus or a crashed app sends you running, rather do not install this app.
