PDFs, and the free edition has a five-book limit. The full-featured edition offers extensive formatting of fonts, themes, and highlights. If you need or want language support, it has good tools for search, lookup, translation, highlighting, notes, and vocabulary lists. You can use text-to-speech to turn any book into a pseudo-audiobook. There are multiple ways to get content into your library, which will sync across platforms.

I am testing a relatively new, free, and open-source ebook app, [Readest](https://readest.com/), an offshoot of the Linux app, Foliate, with a richer set of features and support for more platforms. Readest can do a lot of what MapleRead does, in fact, more in some areas, not so much in others. It supports more formats: EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 (Kindle), FB2, CBZ/CBR (comics), TXT, and PDF. The PDF support is new and has some rough edges. At present, I would not use it as my primary PDF reader if you are dependent on those documents for important work. Readest will sync notes and highlights across devices, but it doesn't handle uploading, so you'll have to do that manually if you want that feature to work as intended. One nice feature is the ability to load two books simultaneously, handy if you are working on your language skills and want to see the same book in different languages at the same time.



# Community

Goodreads is the OG of Internet book communities and at its inception created a lot of innovative tools. Today it's owned by Amazon, rarely adds new features and is used for data harvesting and to to steer you towards the walled garden of its billionaire owner. There are plenty of other apps and websites out there for book lovers and I encourage you to find one where you fit in.

Backup of passwords?

Hi.

This is not ment to start a discussion of best password managers or so, this is about what to do if something crashes.

At the moment I use Apple Passwords and UpLock, to be able to share it with my wife and kids.

I also have an account for 1Password which I may drop when it is up for renewal. But which ever I choose to stay with in the future, I think it is important to do backups.

As for now I do backups of 1Password as zip files to Jottacloud. As Apple Passwords are in iCloud, anyone has any good ideas on how to backup that? Preferably to Jottacloud (or Filen, Proton and similar) ?If I export as civ file it does not export passkeys it seems.

Is this concerning?

I already deleted the app and moved to something else, but figured it was worth sharing on here.

Bought ANYBOX and am pretty disappointed. To say the least. I actually think it is trash.

I thought Anybox was a full-featured database (-like) app for URLs. But I'm pretty disappointed. Why?

Sorting

^(Main window,) ^(list view)

I can only sort by 'Name' and 'Date Added'. I cannot sort any other column I (made and) selected in list view. Especially the columns 'Folder' and 'Tag' would be very useful for sorting but they don't do anything when clicking on the header.

^(Sidebar)

Sorting Folders in the sidebar is not possible.
Sorting Tags in the sidebar is not possible.

Editing

Edit URL and Edit Metadata are separate right-click menus → Why not a single window where all info on a link is editable at once? Illogic, confusing and implemented in a messy way.
Cannot edit in the Inspector (which could be that 'single window')

Syncing

No idea how I can activate syncing. It doesn't start by itself anyway.

Settings are set right in the system settings: On both my Macs Anybox has full disk access and it's also switched on in iCloud (system settings). Both Macs are on the same Apple account. All other iCloud syncs work.

Folders

Cannot make main folders in the sidebar, only child folders.
Cannot make folders in the main window.

Search

Cannot search for folders.

Export

I can only export all bookmarks; not just one of the folders with bookmarks. Which can be done in any browser with a plugin however.

So, concluding: I spend €24 on something that does not ease using URLs. Anybox appears to be a half-baked, user unfriendly, frustrating and above all, time robbing app. The opposite of what it should be.

DockDoor question: Notification dot in Window Switcher?

Trying out DockDoor to replace Alt Tab after seeing it on here.

When I CMD TAB, I'd like to see notfication dots or indicators on the app icons for the windows.

Is there such a feature? I've replaced CMD TAB with DockDoor's WindowSwitcher.

New Program - Neat Little Find

I've been on this forum for a while and I am still blown away that once in a while, a program slips through the cracks. The program Application Wizard is quite neat actually.

I am just playing through it now, but take a look yourself.

looking for a task widget for the desktop

Is there a free or open-source app Does it offer a widget like this on desktop...

or a better one? I tried Apple’s Reminders widget, and I find it not smooth or practical.

I just upgraded to macOS 26.2 and Bartender seems broken for me (v6.3.0). It keeps rearranging my menu bar icons, but it refuses to hide the ones I want hidden. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

I built a keyboard-first HomeKit app because the macOS Home app feels like (is) an iPad port

I spend most of my day on macOS, and the Home app has always felt off.

It’s basically the iPad app dropped onto macOS:

* Not optimized for keyboard use
* Slow to navigate
* Requires constant mouse interaction

That becomes really noticeable when you’re in the middle of something, especially video calls. I’m often in meetings and want to quickly:

* Dim lights
* Close shades
* Toggle a single accessory

Opening a full app just to do that completely breaks focus. So I built [HomeSpot](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/homespot/id6757016819), a **keyboard-focused HomeKit app** where:

* Everything is searchable
* Controls are accessible from Spotlight
* Common actions take just a few keystrokes

Now, during a call, I can hit Spotlight, type a device name, toggle it, and keep talking without switching apps or windows.This feels much more in line with how macOS is meant to work.

Pricing-wise, HomeSpot is a one-time purchase. No subnoscriptions or ongoing fees. I wanted this to feel like a proper native utility, not another service you have to keep paying for.
