PilotCut: I got mass-frustrated with CapCut, and FinalCut Pro. Built my own Mac video editor that lets any AI agent do the cutting. Basically a tool for ChatGPT Codex / Claude Code for your video editing

RAD Weather is a real Mac app (free) that treats forecast disagreements as the feature, not a bug + a lifetime option for extras, rare in weather apps

Is there a way to customize the Shortcuts app's Notifications?

I am using the Show Notification action within a Shortcut, the Shortcut/Notification works fine, it shows up on the screen and Notification Center, but I can't customize it in the System Settings --> Notifications --> Application Notifications section, because the Shortcuts app in not in the list of Applications, all the other apps that use Notifications are there, but Shortcuts is not, is there a way to reset Notifications so Shortcuts can show up and I can customize its Notifications? Thanks

Note: I have this issue on two MacBooks M1 and M2, running Sequoia 15.7.8 and Golden Gate Public Beta 2 respectively.

DedupX 1.6.0 - find exact and similar duplicates on Mac (incl. Photos Library)

I’m the developer of DedupX. Posting because 1.6.0 is out, and a lot of it came from the blunt feedback on my last thread. Grateful to all those who reached out with their experiences and feedback, and I hope you like the improvements.

**Problem:** Duplicate photos and files pile up across Downloads, external drives, and the Photos Library. Finder can’t sort that out. You need something that finds exact copies and near-duplicates, lets you review them quickly, and deletes safely (Trash / Recently Deleted), without a bloated workflow.

**Compare**

* Similar to **Gemini 2 by MacPaw** and **CCleaner**, DedupX uses perceptual hashing to find visually similar images across formats and resolutions, not just byte-identical files. DedupX also scans the System Photos Library (full access), matches exact and similar images against your folders, and the current version 1.6.0 adds a sentence-builder for bulk selection (AND/OR conditions) plus a redesigned two-pane results view with a thumbnail strip.
* **PhotoSweeper X**: PhotoSweeper is excellent for visual comparison. DedupX focuses on a simpler review loop, smarter keep suggestions (prefer originals over `copy` / numbered names), persisted scan settings, and lower pricing for people who want exact + similarity without paying PhotoSweeper money.

Not claiming to beat either at everything. If you already love one of those, keep it. DedupX is for people who want a lighter, modern Mac-native tool that covers folders and Photos together.

**Major Features in 1.6.0**

* **System Photos Library support**: full Photos access required; exact + similarity matching; deletions go to Recently Deleted
* **Redesigned results view**: two-pane layout with horizontal thumbnail strip
* **Sentence-builder selection** with composable AND/OR conditions
* Major scan performance work, including **Quick Scan**
* Visual polish and clearer deletion warnings
* Scan individual files and package libraries (e.g. Photo Booth) when detected

**Pricing**

* Free trial: 10 scans or 7 days (whichever first)
* Annual: $5.99/year
* Lifetime: $16.99 once
* A 30% discount coupon is available, valid on both subscription (1st year only, $5.99/yr. after that) and lifetime tiers: **DEDUPX30OFF**
