Thanks r/macapps - your feedback made the Gubb app way better
Hey r/macapps! 👋
Just wanted to drop by with a quick appreciation post.
A little while ago I shared my note-taking app Gubb here and gave out some promo codes. The response was honestly way more than I expected - and the feedback was even better. A bunch of you pointed out quirks, tiny bugs, UI oddities, and features that were missing but would make the app feel more “Mac-native.”
So I took all of that, went heads-down for a week, and pushed an update based directly on what this sub suggested. 🙏
# What’s new (thanks to your comments):
🧠 Offline AI Trannoscription
One of the biggest asks here was: “Can we get voice-to-text without an API key?”
So now Gubb supports local AI models for trannoscription — everything happens on-device, no cloud, no data leaving the Mac.
🔤 Better Fonts & Readability
Multiple users mentioned readability issues. Added new font options and improved text rendering across notes & to-dos.
🖥️ System Tray Access
A small but heavily requested improvement - now you can keep it running quietly and open it instantly.
🪲 Bug Fixes
Clipboard quirks, timer visuals, numbered list formatting, some rendering issues - cleaned up.
⚡ Performance Boosts
Local audio processing is now smoother and the whole app feels snappier.
Not trying to promote anything aggressively here - mostly just wanted to circle back and genuinely thank this community. The quality of feedback from mac users is always on another level. 🙌
For anyone who wants to see the updated version, here’s the Mac App Store link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gubb-notes-timers-tasks/id6746085262?mt=12
And if you want to support the launch, we also just went live on Product Hunt:
https://www.producthunt.com/products/gubb
(No pressure at all - just sharing for anyone interested.)
# Before I jump back into building:
What note-taking or productivity apps on macOS do you swear by?
And for those who tried Gubb already - what would you love to see next?
Always open to feedback - you all clearly know what makes a good Mac app. 🙌
