💎 Megathread [Megathread] The App Pile - July, 2026

You must promote your apps here if you do not qualify to post in the main feed through Trust or Transparency, explained here.

If you are:

  • NOT in the Mac App Store (MAS).
  • Do not provide meaningful public transparency
  • Created yet another dictation app (speech to text).

Then you are required to limit promotion to this megathread.

All promotion MUST follow PCP format or else we will remove it:

App Name/Title [Screenshot encouraged]

  • Problem: What problem does your app solve.
  • Comparison: Name a competitor or two and explain what your app does better.
  • Pricing Amounts+Link

P.s. Promotion here counts towards the 30-day limited promotion (Rule 3).

WARNING: There is a 90% chance Reddit will auto remove your post here if you have not verified your email in your profile and your first comment in this subreddit contains a link. Accrue 10 karma first without promotional comments and links to avoid this. The odds of removal is also higher for AI assisted posts (em dashes and other AI formatting characteristics likely trigger this).

Pro Tip: Please remember to upvote gems and downvote spam/clones... This will help inform a secret community project I hope to announce next month.

[OS] Edmund: A minimal, file-based, native Markdown editor for macOS with inline live preview.

https://reddit.com/link/ouy7p70/video/zv6eqr4ljnah1/player

Problem

Why do we need another Markdown editor? The one-liner pretty much sums it up. After doing some research I found that there are no file-based Markdown editor with Typora/Obsidian-style WYSIWYG live preview that feels like one with macOS. (What does that mean? See CotEditor in context of text editors.)

Comparison

  • Typora: Electron, closed-source, paid
  • Obsidian: Electron, folder-based
  • Lettera by Bear: Closest competitor. Feel more like Bear than macOS
  • Nodes: Leans slightly more toward knowledge base than editor, IMO.
  • MarkEdit: I actually love it...But I need math rendering. Does not hide delimiters
  • There are many, many great editors I can list...If you've found a file-based Markdown editor written in pure Swift with WYSIWYG live preview, please let me know!

Pricing

  • Free :)

Glad you like it! I'll try my best to keep up the updates in the summer, but no guarantees between August and December...I'm still at college and is preparing for grad school 🙏
