Free app for viewing and merging duplicate contacts?
Hello everyone,I'm trying to merge duplicate contacts on my Mac. However, the Look for Duplicates feature in the Contacts app doesn't list the duplicates it detects. I found a third party app called Contactsmate, which shows me the duplicate contacts it finds and lets me view them before merging. But it's a paid app. I'm looking for a free alternative. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks.

Forgot password to a note on apple notes.
Hi, as the Title says, I have forgotten a password I had set to one of my note a couple of years back. That note basically consisted a few passwords to services that I used rarely. Is there any way I can reset it's password or view the note? I do have my apple ID and Password if that can help.

App that can share a external screen of my iPad?
I was wondering if there’s a way to do something like this on my monitor. I’d like to share my iPad screen on the same display that my Mac is connected to, so I don’t have to keep switching between screens. That way, I can have everything on one screen, which would make it easier to, for example, take a screenshot of a question from my iPad notes or multitask more efficiently? Thanks a lot (I don't mind if it's a paid app)https://preview.redd.it/9410j3eu9fyf1.png?width=1745&format=png&auto=webp&s=77b2ccdcdbebe2c38420ada019aea6a7e6fa7395

My updated list of MacOS apps, because people love these lists. Super extended director's cut editon v3
Heya, since people enjoyed my "old" lists of Mac apps that I actually use, I wanted to update you on the stuff I've changed, added, removed, or used for a short time, and the noteworthy updates to app. My old list is here on reddit and also here for my first update. My (almost) always up to date list on Github.AddedGeneralAlDente (Paid): I used AlBattery (Free, open source) before, but I had problems with it completely blocking any charging on my mac (dunno if that was a general problem or i fixed, has been like 4 months since then). So I bought the lifetime AlDente thing for like 24€. Maybe it helps with the battery life, maybe it wont. So far it did not drop further, but its a M1 Mac with 88% capacity and I read a study that capping charging at 80 does not do anything. Meh, already spent the money, so who cares.Instapaper (Free or subscription): I love GoodLinks (Paid) but I am more and more working outside the apple ecosystem. Instapaper works for me. I used raindrop.io before, if i find something bothering me in Instapaper I might switch to that again, but for now I use mostly Instapaper.Productivity & UtilitiesSpokenly (Free): Voice-to-text. My replacement for VoiceInk. VoiceInk is great, but Spokenly somehow works better for me. It is not open source... however, you can use local models, so I am fine with this. Also, it’s free and on the App Store, which is great. If you’re looking for something open source, give VoiceInk a try. Love Spokenly tho, and I guess almost everyone here knows it.Thoht (Free or subscription): Formerly known as MiniWhisper. Another voice-to-text app. Really like it, still trying it out. But I think i prefer Spokenly. Updatest (Paid): Was posted here a few days ago. I really like it so far, but I am not sure if I am gonna buy it. I still have Latest (Free, open source), Applite (Free, open source) and MacUpdater (Paid) installed, so I am not sure. I like that Updatest allowed me to adopt all my apps (that support it) to homebrew. Let's see what will happen to MacUpdater and if Updatest maybe will catch up to that. Will keep you posted about my choice.BrowsersHelium (Free, open source): At first, I thought there weren’t any features that would make me use this over Ungoogled Chromium (which Helium is based on), but it has split view, the password integration works (the system-wide one), more customization options, and bangs. It’s very nice. The only thing I am really, really missing is vertical tabs. Oh, and of course the pinned tabs, which only get unloaded instead of being completely closed. Also, it doesn’t drain my Macbook like crazy. Without this, I would have gone back to Chrome or Ungoogled Chromium (Free, open source). BUT... I have been working on a chromium fork myself for a few months. So far I integrated a lot of useful features from Arc and Dia while removing google stuff. It looks as minimal as Dia while being cross platform... but ye, still in development, so only I use it.Dia and Arc (Free or subscription): Only have them installed again to copy features. I check what I am interested in, but do not use them otherwise anymore.GamingVirtualHere (Freemium): Allows you to forward one device to another pc for free, otherwise you will have to pay. So what I do with it is forward my mouse to my gaming rig, since I find more and more problems that have problems with the emulated mouse from Moonlight. E.g. in Oblivion/Skyrim windows I cannot scroll, in Dune I cannot use quick menus, side mouse buttons dont work in general, etc. VirtualHere makes it so I connect my mouse to the other PC without having to physically connect it. While that is the case I can of course only move the mouse in Moonlight, not outside of it. I set up 2 hotkeys to quickly connect/disconnect, so that is no problem for me.Development & CodingCursor (Subscription): Even tough I am not like 100% vibe coding stuff, cursor made it possible to start changing chromium…

Looking for a macOS tool to auto-tag people in photos (with XMP support)
Hi everyone,I’m looking for a macOS application that would let me drag and drop a folder containing 100, 200, or even 300 photos, and automatically tag the people present in them. Ideally, these tags would be written either directly into the original files or into XMP sidecar files, so that when I import the images into Capture One, the tags are recognized.The goal is to be able to search for a specific person, not just within already edited photos, but across my entire RAW image library—using a tag-based search tool.So, do you have any suggestions? Something that works well for you?

Airy is bad.
https://preview.redd.it/g61bizjm1iyf1.png?width=492&format=png&auto=webp&s=881b5f7f6c0c5ff501ae2cd3bc6703c33c3c1e50I learned of Airy… I decided to try it.  
It failed twice to download free videos….and used up the “free videos” to test it on, despite it failing, so I couldn’t even see if it can do what it’s supposed to do. This is a bad user experience. (yes, this a petty response to a poor program...it hit me at the wrong time to be bad at it's one job)
