Version history in Notes (shared)
New to using Notes on Mac and was told by several friends (and most of Google search) that there is no version history. Afaict this is true for non-shared notes, but for shared notes, there is 'Activity' which is full version history. Toggle on/off with \^⌘K. Screenshots below.

Made a free EQ app for macOS, would love some feedback
I built a simple 10-band equalizer that sits in the menu bar.

Nothing fancy, just wanted something free that remembers my EQ settings when I switch between headphones and speakers.
It also has a volume slider for HDMI outputs (since macOS doesn't give you one) and some built-in AutoEQ profiles if you want to correct your headphones.
Requires BlackHole for audio routing. Still in beta so probably has bugs.

Happy to hear what you think or if something breaks.

Feedback wanted: local-first macOS trannoscription app (offline + live dictation)
I’ve been working on a macOS trannoscription app called **Murmur**, mainly as a side project to explore local-first trannoscription and live dictation on the Mac.
My goal was to build something that:
* Works offline
* Handles both live microphone input and audio files
* Makes the trade-offs between latency, accuracy, and model size explicit instead of hidden
Right now it supports:
* Live microphone trannoscription
* Trannoscription of audio files
* Multiple trannoscription engines:
* Local Whisper-based models (offline)
* A couple of alternative local engines for experimentation
* Apple Speech as a lightweight option if you don’t want to manage models
* Optional post-processing (punctuation, casing, basic cleanup)
* Speaker diarization where supported, with basic segment editing
* A global hotkey for dictation across apps
* Export to TXT, SRT, and VTT
Most of the work so far has gone into making streaming trannoscription feel reliable on macOS like handling partial results, keeping latency low enough for dictation, and not over-engineering the UI.
It’s still very much an MVP, and I’m mainly trying to sanity-check the direction before going further. I’d love feedback from people here on:
* What matters most in a Mac trannoscription app: accuracy, latency, or simplicity
* Which export formats or metadata you actually use
* Things other macOS trannoscription apps get wrong or feel brittle
* Features you’d avoid or don’t want at all
Not trying to sell anything here but mostly looking to learn from folks who care about well-designed Mac apps. Happy to answer questions or go deeper on implementation if helpful.
Thanks!

Mac requires something called Rosetta
Hi everyone, I recently bought my first MacBook, and wanted to install Steam on it. When I wanted to open it in the Finder, a pop-up came up saying that in order to download steam I have to download something called ROSETTA. Is it safe to download? I am new to MacOS so I have no idea. Will it slow my Mac down or something? Can someone explain this to me? Thank you very much!

Launch Yes, another WisprFlow alternative called Pipit (but completely free)
I started this project about a year ago and have been using it myself for the past few months. Built to be fast, invisible, and actually free.
What's different?
It's a joy to use. Strong focus on UX. A lot of attention went into the hotkey behavior and workflow. Each action should save you a couple fractions of a second, which adds up.
You have access to your clipboard and voice trannoscriptions right from the menu bar. Most people don't use a clipboard manager, combining the two made sense to me.
There's also an adaptive self-learning dictionary, quick actions, and a bunch of small UX details that you probably won't notice but make the whole thing feel invisible. Formatting per app all happens seamlessly in the background and costs just \~25 cents per month with your own api key.
Free forever, no signups, no nonsense. I'll be continually updating it as better models release. Open source planned, but it is notarized and signed by Apple for now and works completely offline. Give it a shot!
