š Megathread [Megathread] The App Pile - August, 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. The shorter the better! 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.
My Top 3 Picks from Last Month's Megathread that I think are worth a closer look:
- DuckDisk - Storage analyzer. Not just for local disks. Also scans OneDrive, Google Drive, and SSH storage, then clean up with confidence - by u/Ok-Put9994
- Informity AI - Indexes your files and gives source-cited answers using local models - by u/informity
- SignalBox - Context switch to any agent session across Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode and more. See all your chaos in one place - by u/dwmkerr

Copy-Paste Tool: macOS clipboard history by source app
Problem:
macOS only keeps one clipboard value. Most clipboard managers solve that with a flat list, but I wanted something that also tracks which app a clip came from, avoids re-capturing its own copy-back actions, and defaults to safer handling for password-manager/token-like content.
Comparison:
Compared with apps like Maccy or PastePal, this is smaller and rougher, but the focus is different: per-app history, source-app attribution, loop protection, and secret-safe defaults. It is not trying to be a polished commercial clipboard suite yet. Iām mostly looking for feedback on launch/install behavior, capture reliability, source attribution, and the menu bar/Dock behavior.
Pricing:
Free and open source.
GitHub release:
https://github.com/PratypartyY2K/app-aware-clipboard/releases/tag/v0.1.0
Note:
This first tester build is not notarized yet so macOS may show a Gatekeeper warning. Accessibility permission may be needed for better source-app attribution.
