Lulu+Spybuster.app

I use lulu because its free but I also miss the map feature of little snitch. I found that this is free and seems to do some neat mapping.

spybuster.app

Anyone use this before, and have you found it useful?

Is Topgrade safe to use?

I just learned about this app from a separate post thread here in r/macapps about app updaters. It looks like a nice tool.

Thank you!

Any reliable alternatives to MacUpdater, given its discontinuation?

Are there any reliable alternatives to MacUpdater as of October 2025, that would find all the available updates? Most apps don't have a Homebrew package...

Why is it so hard...

So I have a pictures folder. Then I created several smart folders:

1) Last Opened in 7 days
2) Last created in 7 dsys
3) Last modified in 7 days.
4) Date added 7 days (I.e., moved)

All of these can be super helpful. But the don't actually all work, for example, I tried opening a few items and nothing changed on the list of files... Am I missing somethimg?

Redpill me on brew

Hi all,

I've been contemplating moving to using brew for all app installations. Is there any obvious downsides to this? I'm kind of sick of installing from 200 different sources + trying to keep them all up to date.

I also found this applite as sort of a GUI for brew, has anyone tried it as well?

Cheers!

After trying endless local-only no-server subnoscription-based apps, I finally snapped and decided to vibe-code my own - Say hello to Greed 💰

**Features:**

* Boost your productivity by blocking every possible distraction , including your own ability to use the app. (Proven to increase productivity by **160%** \- according to my own personal study)
* Change your Mac wallpaper, which - and I’m not exaggerating - opens a portal to another world. This feature required **months** of vibe coding and therefore justifies a subnoscription model.
* Save your clipboard messages (*pasting them back requires an in-app purchase*).
* About Button - Displays the app name, version, and build number.

**Pricing:**

* $9.99/month
* $117.99/year - **1.6% off the monthly plan!**
* $250 lifetime - *The STFU Plan*, handcrafted for Reddit users ❤️

Thanks!

Mac email rules

I set up certain rules in my mac email app to do basic things like :

If subject contains 'statement of holdings' - move to 'holdings' mailbox.

It is such a simple rule to just do that - and yet - it does not work..

Can anyone help me with this??

I'm almost ready to move to outlook.. so frustrating..
