Apps I Have Installed and Will Not Uninstall - Part 3.

Catching up on some long-overdue posts, I find that listing the apps I’ve installed and won’t be removing is always a good starting point. To everyone who has been asking about the sudden silence in the Dock Obsession series, I apologise, and I am pleased to confirm that it will be available very soon.

Without wasting time, here are some apps I’ve come across; some may be well known, while others might have far better alternatives already used by many. I am always eager to learn about any app I haven’t tried, so please do comment.

SENTINEL \- I might have been slow to learn about this app, and I think what I honestly didn’t understand was the denoscription of exactly what the app does. This is an app that disables “gatekeeper', or if you’re not comfortable disabling the setting, then you can drop the app dmg onto the file and get a fully signed .dmg to install. Not having to visit Settings, Security, and then look for the allow button makes installing apps painless. If what I said above makes no sense, just download the FREE app and everything will become clear. I was very happy to see that this is the developer of PEAR cleaner, another free app well worth installing.

UDOCK: - What do you mean you are happy Mac removed the Launchpad app? Don’t lie. The number of free launchpad apps shows that people aren’t happy, and I have stopped downloading these apps. Then I stumbled upon Udock. This is a launcher and so much more. There’s nothing this app won’t customise, or at least nothing I have discovered yet. If you miss the launcher app and are willing to spend a few dollars then this might be the place to invest.

SILENZ:- I have relied on Soundcontrol for playing voice messages from my Whatsapp while muting Radiola (radio player). I have only found Soundcontrol and Soundsource able to do this effectively, but when I came across SILENZ, I thought I might give it a try. Now when playing the whatsapp voice messages Radiola is not just stopped but lowered at a speed I want and then returning to normal as soon as I close the whatapp message. A lovely app, and although I am still adjusting the settings, it is a pleasant and very handy app indeed.

COHERENCE X: There are a few apps that do what Coherence does, and several are free. Some people would even argue that creating an app shortcut can be done inside the browser, and this is indeed true, but when I don’t want a shortcut, I want an app user experience. This is an app that does just that. The result is an app with no tab bars or favourites at the top- just that webpage rendered as an app. Coherence will require a payment, although a demo version is available, and it is a costly exercise but only a one-off payment. A very popular alternative is Webcatalog, which also offers a demo and has a monthly usage fee, which would have worked so much better if it was a once-off payment.

SOCIALWATCH 2: Here is a programme that has one specific function, which is to access social media sites side by side. Do we need to see Reddit, X, Facebook, and Instagram next to each other at the same time? I suppose that depends on who you ask. But now, without spending money on online platforms, I am able to post and see in real time what my posts look like on several sites. I can also tag and involve people all at once, and I am loving it and of course it is FREE

Post 4 of “apps I have installed” will be coming soon as there are some awesome apps available. For now, it’s back to the customisation post about the dock that has become a bit of a monster of my own making.

PS. This post was not AI written, researched, or altered other than for spell checking. Can the human AI detectors that seem to be so opinionated lately please ignore my posts?

I built my first Mac app — a simple alternative to Flow without subnoscriptions 🚀 (free promo codes inside)

https://preview.redd.it/ohvby8l661yf1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=9165ed3ae5a8b19a2d128f957d68f9ca3f976da1



Hey everyone! 👋

I’d like to share my very first Mac app: **Cyclework**.
It’s a clean and minimal Pomodoro-style focus timer I built because I used to love **Flow**, but I got tired of paying yet another **subnoscription** just to stay productive.

Honestly, the subnoscription trend on the App Store has gotten a bit out of hand, so I wanted to make something that feels premium, looks native on macOS, but stays affordable (and in this case, free for a few of you).

Cyclework lets you:

* Run **multi-phase Pomodoro cycles** (focus / short break / long break)
* Track your progress with **smart stats**
* Adjust sessions and timers easily from the **menu bar**
* Enjoy a **macOS-native design** that feels like it was built by Apple
* Integration with Apple Calendar
* Focus session customization
* Multilanguage

👉 [Cyclework on the Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cyclework/id6754218094?mt=12)

I’d really love your feedback

StenoAI: A free AI Meeting Notes Taker that runs using AI models on your Mac. Self hosted alternative to Fireflies, Granola, Otter & Jamie. Optimised for M series Macs.

A few months ago, I was about to spend $1,920 per year on Otter AI subnoscriptions, a cloud based AI meeting notes service. Before clicking purchase, I paused and thought: Could I build something using small language models that runs locally on my device, learn more about SLMs and save money?

Six weeks & 18 versions later, I’m happy to introduce StenoAI - A personal stenographer for every meeting.

🚀 StenoAI is an open-source Mac application (optimised for Apple Silicon Macs) that transcribes and summarizes your meetings entirely on your device. No cloud processing, no subnoscriptions, no bots joining your calls.

🆓 Completely free & open source. You can customise the summarisation prompts to suit your own industry (legal, finance or medical). Feel free to contribute improvements to the codebase as well.

One-click Setup - Unlike other open source solutions, StenoAI is packaged as a simple MacOS app with no complex setup or engineering knowledge required. Download, install, and start recording.

It’s a privacy-first AI meeting notes app that runs locally using small language models  specifically OpenAI Whisper for trannoscription and Llama 3.2 (3 billion parameters) for summarization.

Platform Independent - It works with all meeting platforms — Zoom, Google Meets & Teams.

👉 Key takeaway - There’s potential for small language models running locally, but we’re still in the early days. Imagine what we could achieve if we can run GPT-4 locally on a Macbook or Phone. Privacy, zero cost, no running out of tokens & no vendor lock-in

New macOS security app from the MacPaw team — Moonlock

Hey everyone,

Our team at MacPaw has just released a new macOS security app called Moonlock.

It’s focused on keeping Macs safe from modern threats — using native macOS technologies like Endpoint Security and Network Extensions. The goal was to make something lightweight, easy to understand, and helpful even for users who aren’t deep into cybersecurity.

If you’re already using CleanMyMac, Moonlock goes a bit deeper — it adds real-time threat blocking, quarantining, scheduled scans, and system visibility.

We’d love to hear what you think about this approach to Mac security and if there are any tools or features you’d expect from an app like this.

More details are on our site: https://moonlock.com

If you want to use different Dock presets and have the Alfred Powerpack, but don’t want to purchase another app, try this Alfred workflow.

I recently came across a couple of new Dock apps on this subreddit, and it suddenly reminded me of an Alfred workflow I had discovered a few weeks ago, “Dock Switcher.” https://alfred.app/workflows/chrisgrieser/dock-switcher/

This workflow allows you to save your current Dock settings and load your presets. The presets I currently use are “Normal Day,” “Study,” and “Family.”

You can even load your presets using hotkeys. Simply create a Hotkey trigger, set your hotkey, choose Argument as Text, and enter the name of your preset in the text field. Then link the Hotkey node to “load.” (You will know what it means when you open the workflow in Alfred Preferences.)

I hope this can be helpful to some of you.

Vallum is amazing !

I was torn between Little Snitch and Lulu. On one hand, a fully featured, complex and expensive software (Little Snitch) that ultimately pack way too many unnecessary features for my usage. On the other hand, Lulu, not really user friendly and quite tedious when you need a bit more than the basic functionality. But the absolute deal breaker is Netiquette, the network monitor of Lulu. You are basically blind compared to alternatives as it doesn't support and UI could be better but it's open source so I'm not gonna be too picky about it. But yeah, I was using Lulu out of desperation, and today I decided to look for an alternatives and discovered Few alternatives :

- TinyShield (Discounted from 40$ to 19.5$)
- Vallum (15$) unlimited free trial
- Scudo (10$)
- Radio Silence (7$)
- Trip Mode 3 (?)

and a few others but a bit out of scope. I'm not gonna make a full review of every software but decided to go for Vallum and this is EXACTLY what I needed. TinyShield is interesting but very new, less featured than Vallum and basically more expensive so it's a no brainer for me.

I make this posts because I don't feel like Vallum get the recognition it deserves and it's a shame because it's got to be the perfect replacement for Little Snitch !
