Need a good app for reading and notes/highlights
I am looking for an app that has as much of my reading sources AND my reading history in one place as possible.
I tried Readwise and Reader. I didn't love the method of using Readwise in general, and I hated that Readwise and Reader are separate universes. Reader can keep track of new highlights I make but not import old ones. Lame.
I want to:
READ: articles, PDFs, maybe some ebooks (but most of that happens on my kindle), emails would be nice, and other documents.
REVIEW: Kindle highlights, web highlights, annotations, and other notes on books/articles/etc that I read
Are there any solutions here? I'd pay a reasonable monthly subnoscription for this, but I'm not going to pay a monthly sub for an app to read one thing, another app to read other things, an app to sync all those different data streams, and another app to then review my notes and highlights, etc. That's insanity.

DedupX - 50% off for hitting 110+ users
A few weeks ago, I launched DedupX here \- a duplicate file finder I built for quickly identifying identical and similar files on a Mac. The response was incredible, and I just hit 110+ paying users!
As a thank you to this community, I'm running a Black Friday sale: 50% off both tiers through December 5, 11:59 PM UTC.
Discount Codes:
`DEDUPXLIFETIME50` \- 50% off on Lifetime license (normally $16.99)
Quick refresher on what DedupX does:
Finds exact duplicates using incremental hashing - super fast
Perceptual image matching (finds similar photos even if resized/cropped)
Native Finder integration (right-click > "Scan for Duplicates")
Configurable similarity thresholds
What's new since launch:
App is now fully notarized (Apple finally approved my developer enrollment)
Various bug fixes and performance improvements
Free trial still available: 10 scans over 7 days, no payment info required.
Project page: https://maheepk.net/projects/dedupx/
Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks again to everyone who bought and used this app. This started as a weekend project and you all made it into something real. 🙏

RegEx in Hazel 6?
Between me, ChatGPT, shortcuts and apple noscript I’ve got a rule that renames an image file with the word printed on it. Because OCR isn’t perfect, it picks up some nonsense. I haven’t been able to get rid of all of it, but I thought I could at least have a regex get rid of random letters.
Chat GPT gave me this [A-Z\](?=\\.[A-Za-z0-9\]+$)
But it’s not matching e.g. “Attitude M” doesn’t change. This isn’t the first time I’ve had trouble with Regex in 6, so I was wondering if there’s something I’m missing, or if that regex just isn’t working.

It was a productive Black Friday! Share your mac apps loot!
Hey everybody,
Nothing beats the season of consumerism, here's what I got to boost my macOS experience:
1. BarMarks v2 \- Came across this app 9 days ago, a super simple menu bar bookmark manager. Such a wonderful boost to my productivity as I keep a lot of bookmarks, across different browser profiles too.
2. AlDente \- It was about time I show some love to my Macbook battery, I sit at the office constantly connected to my Type C, so here's to a better life battery!
3. Paste \- I copy and paste a lot, up until now Raycast Clipboard History as fine, but Paste has longer history (I think?) and it's really handy with the search option, simply Alt+Shift+V into search and double enter to paste. Just perfect.
4. Bloom \- Finder annoyed me for two years now after moving from Windows to Mac. Finally decided to put an end to it and downloaded Bloom - a Finder alternative. Enjoyed the 7-days free trial and bought a license. Ridiculously happy about finally being able to interact with Files on macOS.
What did you get?
