I built the signature app Apple Mail never had: one-click install, it survives macOS updates, and it's a one-time price

https://reddit.com/link/1wz5thw/video/hf8jhzbsavth1/player

Hi r/macapps. I'm Christian, the developer of Autograph, so this is my own app.

Problem

Apple Mail signatures are painful. You paste HTML into a settings pane, your logo arrives as a broken attachment or a blue question mark for the person you email, nothing reaches your iPhone, and after a macOS update or an iCloud sync the signature can simply vanish.

What Autograph does

Pick a template (they're arranged by profession) and change anything: every part has its own colours, fonts, sizes and spacing. A Phone view shows how it looks on an iPhone.
One click installs it into Apple Mail and assigns it to the right accounts. No copying HTML, no dragging files around.
If macOS or iCloud wipes it, Autograph puts it back.
Photos, logos and banners are hosted, so they render in Gmail and Outlook instead of arriving as attachments.
Dark mode: it makes dark-mode versions of your logo, banners and icons, and mail apps that honour dark mode, like Apple Mail, show them.
iPhone and iPad: scan a QR code, paste, done.
Swift app (the editor uses WebKit, since a signature is HTML), notarized, universal, macOS 14 or later.

Comparison

WiseStamp and the other web generators are subscriptions, and they end with you pasting HTML into Mail's settings yourself.
Email Signature Generator (App Store) has a one-time Pro, but it also ends in copy and paste, your logo and photo have to be online somewhere already, and every signature carries a "Powered by" line.
Mail Signature for Mail App (App Store) does write into Apple Mail and lets you assign accounts yourself, but its images go in as attachments, which is what shows up as attachments or question marks for the people you email.

What I couldn't find anywhere was all of it together: install and assign inside Mail, keep it there after updates, images that render for the recipient, and one price, once. If a tool already does all of that, tell me and I'll link it.

Pricing

Free: install into Mail, account assignment, the automatic repair after a wipe, iPhone setup, text templates. No time limit, no card.
Pro: $59 once for 2 Macs, $39 until November 1. Photos, logos, banners, every template and full styling. 14-day money-back.
No account, no subscription, free updates.

Limits, honestly

Apple Mail first. Pro can copy the HTML for Gmail or Outlook, but it only installs into Apple Mail.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.
It's a one-person app. Bugs reported here get fixed, and there's Help > Send Feedback in the app.

Ahem! Unmissible Full-screen Meeting Reminders

Hey everyone! I'm the solo dev of **Ahem!** It launched today, so I'm excited to finally share it.

Problem:

Meeting reminders can be very easy to miss or ignore for some of us.

Ahem! started as a tool for my wife to help not miss meeting reminders due to her ADD. I found it super useful for myself too, I'm a remote game designer and would regularly be late for meetings after missing notifications while in deep focus on an editor or spreadsheet task, usually with music blasting through my headphones.

After a lot of positive reception and encouragement from friends and colleagues, I decided to actually try ship it. So after venturing slightly out of my game dev comfort zone, here I am!

What it does:

Meeting reminders trigger a full screen overlay, with join buttons for over 20 video call services
Includes a full day timeline, and can be opened via a hotkey
Only reads your calendar data and never edits it
Handy widgets for your desktop.

There's no Ahem account to create and no tracking or telementry. Your calendar data is your business, not mine.

I've been using it for months now and its become part of my working day. Just being able to hit the Return key when a meeting reminder opens to join a call is satisfying.

Comparison:

In Your Face is probably the closest comparison, with full-screen meeting alerts and join buttons. It currently supports more video conferencing services.

Ahem combines full-screen reminders with a full-day timeline you can bring up with a hotkey. The other big difference is price: the regular US Mac price is $6.99 as a one-time purchase, compared with In Your Face’s $69 one-time desktop licence.

I wanted an affordable tool that handles the meeting reminders my wife and I kept missing, without tracking or a recurring bill.

Pricing:

The regular US Mac price is $6.99, paid once, with no subscription. There's 20% off through the website for launch, bringing the US price to $5.59. Regional pricing is available.

One-time purchase. US price is $6.99

Details and download options on https://www.ahemapp.com

Bonus:

An iOS companion launched alongside it for when you're on the go, with meeting join buttons in Lock Screen Live Activities, Dynamic Island peaking, and widgets for your Home Screen and StandBy.

This solved another problem for me, I do the school pickup on foot and sometimes have calls to join on my phone. Having the reminder and join button right there on the Lock Screen has proven SUPER useful!

Happy to answer questions. I'd also like to hear from anyone who has the same problem and what has worked for you.

OS Open Contexts: a free Mac window switcher with a sidebar and saved window groups

Hi r/macapps! I’m Sihua Zheng (zshnb), the developer of Open Contexts.

Problem

When you have several Chrome, Finder, or editor windows open, macOS Cmd+Tab gets you to the app, but you still have to find the window you want.

Open Contexts lets you switch between individual windows and organize them by task:

Cmd+Tab lists windows in most-recently-used order.
Cmd+backtick lists windows of the current app. Both shortcuts are customizable.
A sidebar on the left, right, or bottom keeps windows within reach.
Create named groups, drag windows from different apps into them, and pin their order. Groups are saved across restarts.

Groups organize the window list; they don’t reopen apps or restore desktop layouts.

Comparison

Compared with Contexts, Open Contexts adds saved custom task groups with pinned windows. Contexts offers search and trackpad switching gestures, which Open Contexts doesn’t support yet.

Compared with AltTab, the focus here is a compact title list paired with a persistent sidebar and saved task groups. If visual previews are essential to your workflow, AltTab offers those.

Pricing and permissions

$0, with all features included. Open source under Apache 2.0. No account or subscription. Requires macOS 13+.

The app requires Accessibility permission to identify and activate windows. Window and group data stays on your Mac, and the app has no built-in usage analytics. The privacy policy covers update requests and website analytics separately.

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on window grouping: what would make it useful in your everyday workflow?

Did anyone upgrade to em Client 11?

I got em Client 10 2 years ago and have been pretty happy with it. I saw today that 11 came out. The upgrade is going to cost me $45. The website just talks on and on about the "AI" features of the new software. But the AI assistant requires a separate subscription.

So what new features do I get for my $45 that doesn't involved AI? If you installed 11, what's better?

And, yes I emailed the company. But I probably won't get a response for a day or two, so I figured I would crowdsource an answer.
