This sub is slowly becoming a dumping ground for AI-generated apps and I think we should talk about it
idk if you guys notice this but the feed has been feeling weird lately. Every few days here a new "I built X for macOS check it out" post and when you actually look at the app you can tell its a weekend cursor projecthere are actual examples from the last few weeks:- Cacheless app. 0 upvotes. top comment was "why has everything been vibe coded? even the text is chatgpt lol".- PasteClip yet another clipboard manager. Top comment: "You call a vibe coded app an alternative? lol. This stuff should be banned here." another one: "Another one. Raycast free is just fine. Sorry bro but it's wasted energy."- AiTranscribe, a "fully offline speech-to-text app". 0 upvotes. top comment: "You were too lazy to remove AI-generated markdown from this text?" another: "AI slop everywhere"- CanYouHearMe an app to "check if your microphone is working". top comment with 12 upvotes: "System Settings → Audio, you don't need a shady third party app for this". macOS has had this built in foreverI get that people want to build apps, thats fine. But the problem isn't that they're building - its that they post it here like it's a finished product ready for real usersThe most annoying thing is almost none of them have a privacy policy. There was literally a post yesterday with 141 upvotes reminding people to check privacy policies before installing anything. and these vibe-coded apps with no website, no legal notice, nothing - theres more of them every week. You are installing something an AI wrote over the weekend with zero accountabilityWhy do people even post this stuff? honestly its usually one of three things:free marketing. a reddit post costs nothing and drives traffic"I shipped a macOS app" looks good on a resume even if cursor wrote 90% of ittesting an idea. no upvotes = abandon, new idea next weekendnone of that is evil but its also not what this sub is forThe posts that actually do well are obvious - theres a specific problem being solved, its clear what makes it different from whats already out there, and theres usually a real website or github.
The Wispr Flow-style dictation post today had a video, explained the technical approach, author was answering questions in the comments. thats what a good post looks likeNot trying to call out specific devs, the pattern is the problem not the people. But at minimum a privacy policy and a real website before posting here doesnt seem like too much to askAnyone else noticing this or is it just me?

[OS] FluxMarkdown - a modern Markdown QuickLook previewer (Mermaid, KaTeX, TOC)
Problem: macOS QuickLook shows raw Markdown source code — painful for technical docs with diagrams, math equations, and long structure. This is especially common with AI-generated notes (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) which heavily use Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX math.Compare: FluxMarkdown is a native macOS QuickLook extension that renders GitHub-flavored Markdown with:📊 Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequence, architecture)🧮 KaTeX math (inline + block equations)📑 Interactive Table of Contents🎨 Syntax highlighting for 40+ languages📊 Charts (Vega, Vega-Lite, Graphviz)🌓 Light/Dark/System themesAll rendering is offline — no network calls, all assets bundled.Pricing + Link: Open-source (GPL-3.0). Free forever.Install via Homebrew: brew install --cask xykong/tap/flux-markdownGitHub: https://github.com/xykong/flux-markdownChangelog: https://github.com/xykong/flux-markdown/releasesAI Disclosure: [Human Validated]

[OS] RustCast - Speed up your workflow
Personally, the available macOS launchers feel cluttered, push “extra suggestions,” or require accounts/subscriptions when you just want a fast launcher you control, while also being private.Compared to Raycast/Monad, Rustcast is designed to be simpler and more privacy-respecting: no accounts/sign-ups and a fully free/open-source model (no subscriptions or complex licensing). It also aims to reduce “extra suggestions” and give you more control over what the launcher does.Pricing + link: Free (open source) — https://rustcast.umangsurana.com & https://github.com/unsecretised/rustcast(NO AI Usage)Current features:- App launching- emoji search- open websites + web searches- aliases- calculator- unit conversion- infinite clipboard history- and a customizable UI (- All Feature requests are welcome!I've spent about the past 2-3 months developing this, all while still being in High School so please do try it out and let me know if you guys like it!Quick install link:

free is great, paid is ok as long as it's not stupidly priced.

Single-app purchases and standalone subscriptions are officially coming to Setapp!
For nine years, Setapp has been known as a subscription service where you get hundreds of apps for one simple price. Ever since we launched Setapp over 9 years ago, we offered one membership that covers all apps - pay 9.99 per month and get access to (now) 260+ apps.While some people love exactly that, we also received the feedback from users and developers that while they like the concept, it doesn’t fit their specific needs. Some people preferred to keep buying apps one by one. The idea of 260+ curated apps for one price can feel overwhelming for those who rely on just one or a few essential tools.➡️ Starting today, March 3rd, we are introducing single-app purchase and subscription options. You can now access a variety of popular tools on Setapp such as Bartender, Downie, AlDente Pro and more as standalone subscriptions.Here is what you need to know:Over 60 applications are participating in these new plans at launch.You can get an app with options including monthly or yearly subscriptions or a one-time purchase when available.These purchases will be accessible through a user’s Setapp account without requiring a subscription to the all-apps membership plan.Users don’t need to wonder where they bought an app since all their apps will be in one account.If paying for a few apps starts to add up, users can always come back to the well-known Setapp membership. Let us know what you think below, and check out the new options on our website! 👀
