Shottr – Any way to select a custom color without having to copy it from the screenshot?

Hey everyone,

I absolutely love Shottr. Even bought a license for it, but there’s one thing that really bugs me. When I want to draw a box or highlight something, I can’t seem to find an option to just choose my preferred color.

Right now, it looks like the only way is to use the color picker to copy a color from the screenshot itself, which is kind of annoying.

Is there a way to select or save custom colors directly, without having to grab them from the image each time?

Thanks!

Big update for Clip Log: Apple Intelligence, new desktop view, and Founders Mode for early users

I’m an independent developer passionate about building small, focused tools that make everyday work on macOS smoother. Over the two years, I’ve been developing Clip Log, a privacy focused clipboard manager designed to feel fast and minimal. It helps you keep track of everything you copy, text, links, images, audio, midi and even snippets from Universal Clipboard.

This new update is the biggest one yet and takes Clip Log in a smarter direction. With Apple Intelligence support, Clip Log can now generate quick summaries of copied text or documents directly on your Mac. Everything runs entirely on-device using Apple’s local models, no servers, no accounts, no network requests. Hover over any item and you’ll see an instant AI summary, helping you recall context at a glance.

I like to make music, so as part of this update I added support for audio and midi files. You can preview and audition them both in their custom designed inline players. For midi, you can choose from a huge selection of instruments.

ClipLog now supports copying of any file type or folder/directory.

I also redesigned the Desktop View so you can view multiple groups side by side, making it easier to organize notes, media, and references while multitasking. Search and scrolling performance are much faster too, especially for users who keep thousands of clips.

This version also introduces Founders Mode, a one time unlock for early supporters that permanently includes all Pro features. It’s my way of thanking the people who believed in the app early. If you already own Clip Log, you’re automatically a Founder.

If you rely on your clipboard all day or just want a secure, local way to organize what you copy, I’d love for you to try this version and let me know what you think. I’m always improving it based on real feedback from the community.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clip-log/id6737611052
Free, Offers In-App Purchases

Appcleaner smart delete: sufficient for apps with uninstaller?

I've been using appcleaner's smart delete for a while now, and it seems good to me. There are some apps that have a built-in or separate uninstaller, but I tend forget and just drag the app to the trash like usual when I want to uninstall. Is that usually sufficient in cleaning out the app, or should I always use the uninstaller?

Little Snitch vs Radio Silence vs Lulu, which one do you all prefer and why?

As the noscript says, I'm looking into getting some "protection" for my mac and monitoring which apps make internet connections without my knowledge. I've looked around and found these 3 as the top contenders.

From my initial review Little Snitch seems to be way overpriced compared to the rest coming in at 59$ ( Radio silence is 7$ once, Lulu is actually free and open source).

To those that use Little Snitch, how does it compare to the rest, and are the features it offers really worth the massive price jump?

Should I make my Mac app free with an in-app purchase?

I’ve got a small macOS utility app on the App Store called Name Changer. It batch-renames files using various rules. It currently costs $6 and makes about $200/month.

I was thinking if switching to a free app with a $6 in-app purchase after (say) 20 rename actions is a good idea, hoping it’ll get way more downloads and some will convert.

Has anyone tried this model on macOS?
Do free + IAP apps perform better than paid-up-front ones?
Do people like this better than paying up front?
Any tips or horror stories before I make the jump? 😅

Start.app vs QALpro. app users

I thought I might get away without Launchpad but I was wrong. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two. I like being able to tag apps and put apps within folders for easy locating. Also, I do want to be able to tie a mouse button (via Bettermouse) to activate it.

Has anyone tried either and have opinions? They cost practically the same. Thanks in advance.

Looking for an alternative to Multi Monitor Wallpaper

I’m looking for a replacement app for Multi Monitor Wallpaper that can take a single image and span it across multiple displays. I have three monitors.



Ideally, it should also rotate through a folder of wallpapers I have and show the same image stretched across all three screens at once.



After about two years of using Multi Monitor Wallpaper on my Mac Studio, it has started causing serious system issues. Every few weeks, the app creates a runaway cache that fills my entire drive. If I leave the computer running for over ten hours, I come back to find it unresponsive and have to restart.

Since the most recent update about two weeks ago, I’ve also started getting memory leaks on macOS Tahoe 20.0.1 Now, almost every time I come back to my computer, I need to force quit or reboot.

I’ve reached out to the developer a few times over the last two years, but they said they do not have time to fix the cache problem. That feels odd for a subnoscription app.



To be fair, I also run it on my MacBook Pro and only see the cache issue every few months instead of every two weeks, and I have not seen the memory leak problem there yet.

Configuring a Mac app for direct download outside the Mac App Store

I have a couple of Mac Apps on the Mac App Store, "KeyPad - Bluetooth Keyboard" and "Screen Mirror and Control" I have been getting requests from users asking if there is a Non-app store version that they can download and install on their Work Mac.

Their Organization Policy does not allow them to log into the Mac App Store. They are able to install apps that ship a DMG on the Internet. My apps are Freemium - free for 3 days and requires an in-app purchase to continue to use them.

I'm looking for inputs on how I can help these users without too much effort.

I have looked at Sparkle (for app Updates) and Paddle (for Key based licensing).

BUT;

My apps do not have network access (they can only access bluetooth and USB) and I hate the idea of adding network access when the core features of the app do not need it.

Apple Business Manager allows organizations to purchase apps, individually and in bulk, just does not support In-app purchases. So they cant go to their company admin and ask them to push it to their Mac.

Are others here running into this? Any recommendations?

I need an app for Remote Desktop access to my MacBooks from each other and my iPhone and NOT Jump Desktop please


M3 Max Macbook Pro with macOS 26.0.1
iPhone 17 with iOS 26.0.1

For me, Jump Desktop is terrible, in my experience it has been unreliable and caused problems such as MacBook speaker volume spontaneously muting uncontrollably.

So what should I use instead?

Thank you!
