I switched to Mac a little over a year ago, and it’s been great! However, I’m missing one thing from Windows: these text suggestions. Is there an app that provides a similar feature for Mac?

My alternative to MacUpdater

With MacUpdater seemingly on its last few months, I was looking for an alternative. I found a few via this subreddit, however fancied a challenge.

Move everything to Brew and have my own update notifications
So I created 3 noscripts which won't be for everyone, however sharing is caring and all that.


I'm aware there are lots of better apps out there, this is just my way of resolving my problem.


brew\_app\_installer.sh \- This scans all the installed applications on your Mac and checks if they are installed with brew already, if not can brew install it, and if a direct replacement can't be found, lists alternatives. Once you've run thorough this process it creates a noscript to replace all the non brew apps with brew installed apps.

brew_reinstall.yml - Scans your brew installed apps and creates an ansible playbook to reinstall them if you need to reinstall your mac.

brew\_updates.1h.sh \- Works with the Swiftbar app, to put an icon in the taskbar which notifies you if there are updates for any brew apps.

The repo is here:

What app for this use case? (desktop / notes / to-dos / links related)

Hey folks. I've had some long-standing habits related to my desktop and I'd like to get some app / service suggestions me think and organize a bit differently. Steer clear of subnoscriptions please.

* At some point long ago, I started keeping simple to-do type notes on my desktop by just naming empty folders. Easy to colour code, move around, and to delete. Not bad actually, but it can occasionally get out of hand.
* I also like to keep a few interesting links handy in the dock (topical stuff, some just for a few mins, some to read later, etc), but sometimes I find myself with too many links in the dock and just bury them in a folder for when I really do need them (or want to search across them).
* I also have a number of text files on my desktop that I access a lot, which I also keep on my desktop. Stuff that's better there than a web link that could vanish. Also stuff that a simple named folder is too small for. Still though, frequently access useful stuff.

I feel like there's probably a couple of apps out there that can smash all these things together... while keeping the quick access, regular usage, quick to delete, highly visible nature of these little habits I've developed.

Ready for some ideas and to open my mind on how I manage this stuff. Many thanks :)

Looking for a to-do app

Hi All,

I'm looking for a decent to-do app, but nothing seems quite what I'm looking for!

For work, I would like to be able to track both tasks and sub-tasks, and track when I completed both. I might have 3 or 4 main tasks on the go at a time, with perhaps 5-10 subtasks for each, plus a number of stand-alone tasks.

Apple Reminders is closest to what I'm looking for, but doesn't have the tracking ability. I \*can\* do a shortcut to pull a list of completion dates, but this only works for the main tasks.

I have tried putting the subtasks as tasks in a section instead of as sub-tasks, but this is no good, because the sections persist - I can't hide them once they're done. So I end up with a big list of sections with nothing in them. Deleting the section means I lose the grouping in any tracking.

I've tried:

* Things 3 - no completion tracking of subtasks (i.e. they don't appear in the log)
* Goodtask - it doesn't show the subtasks in reminders hierarchically.
* Todoist - the app is horrible, seems to be a web app - and I'm not really interested in subnoscriptions anyway!

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Drooid: News from all sides. Annual free for limited time

I am the developer behind Drooid, an AI-powered news app that helps you see all sides of the story, left, right, and center through concise summaries from diverse, credible sources.

We are building Drooid to fight fake news and bias in news reporting, and I want to offer maximum value to every user, even without a premium plan. But for power users who wish to gain deeper insights, Drooid’s AI offers in-depth analysis that breaks down why different outlets cover the same news differently. Additionally, we offer AI-voiceover services for premium users.

The premium plan is usually $49.99/year, but for a limited time, I’m offering a free 1-year subnoscription.

The code for the Annual Free trial is:
DROOIDGONEFREE (Hurry up, there are limited codes available)

To redeem the code, click on the In-depth button, which will show you an article with a detailed analysis of the news. The first article is free for everyone. Close the article and click on another in-depth button. You will see a paywall; you can redeem the code there.

If you enjoy the app, a 5-star rating on the App Store would mean the world 🙌
I am also open to suggestions, and want to know how you feel about this idea.

Cheers!!

🔥 50% OFF until Oct 31! WakeMinder, keeps your next move intentional!

Ever open your Mac and forget why? Same.

That’s why I built WakeMinder, and it’s 50% off until 31 October 2025 (then $19.99).





💡 Real-life examples where it shines:

🏃 Out jogging and remember a task? Send it from your Apple Watch — it’s waiting when your Mac wakes.

🚆 On the train and think of something to do later? Send it, and it pops up the second you’re back.

💼 Mid-work context switch? WakeMinder saves you from forgetting what you sat down to do.

🌐 Reading on your iPhone? Share it to WakeMinder — it opens automatically on your Mac when you wake it.





We’ve all been there:

\- You open your Mac

\- The screen wakes up

\- Your brain… blank

That’s where WakeMinder comes in.





What it does:

✅ Shows instant reminders the second your Mac wakes - no digging through notifications

✅ Opens your default browser automatically so you can pick up right where you left off

✅ Send reminders from iPhone or Apple Watch - they appear instantly on your Mac

✅ Share links, notes, or articles from iOS - they open automatically when your Mac wakes

✅ Works with Siri and CarPlay - tell Siri something while driving, and it’s there when you sit down

✅ Keeps your next move intentional, not reactive

🪶 New: Add floating reminders that stay visible above all windows \- perfect for pinning an important note or focus phrase while you work





Over 14,000 users are using it daily, and many with ADHD say it’s been a game changer for staying focused and intentional.





🔥 50% OFF — until 31 October 2025

👉 **WakeMinder: Instant Focus (App Store)**





TL;DR: WakeMinder shows reminders the instant your Mac wakes, syncing with iPhone, Apple Watch, and Siri to help you stay focused every time you open your Mac.
