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.

Open Source Yoink

https://i.redd.it/xjb3zl8px5xf1.gif

I liked Yoink, I also use Android and wanted a way to transfer files very easily between them, so I thought to strike two birds with one stone and built Dropp, a Mac dropzone tool for temporary file storage and transfer with android (fully open source).

I'm sure everyone knows Yoink, it's basically a shelf for your Mac to temporarily hold a file (I mostly use it between alt-tabs from browser->finder->browser). You can drag/drop files like you would with Yoink, but I've also developed an alternative option to sign up with google and have a small (100MB) dropzone to share your files across devices, where you also need the android app. Not sure how many people would want the second part but I use it which was the entire purpose of this project anyways (also probably gonna be the part that breaks the most).

Here's the link if you wanna give it a try: https://dropp.yangm.tech/ (The download button will direct you to releases in github)

Yes its vibe coded (prob at least 300 prompts). it was surprisingly difficult to figure out drag and drop in macos.

Looking for app-based permission manager

Handling app permissions is a pain in the butt and I'm hoping there is an app out there that lets me control all the permission for each app, sorted by app instead of permission. Does this exist?

https://redd.it/1of8hhq
@macappsbackup

What should it be?

I’m ready.

I’m gonna vibe the next big app.

Just give me an idea for something simple that I can make because “I needed it.”

Make sure it already exists in 100 different forms - except for my version.

I’m either gonna vybe or vibe. That’s really all I need to consider.

How much should I charge for the monthly subnoscription?

Typinator- how do you encode your rules?

Does anyone have any insight concerning how Typinator encodes its rules? It has an okay AppleScript library but I’m trying to deal with a large rule set programmatically and would REALLY love to be able to do so using more robust language.
