Balena Etcher doesn’t work for creating ChromeOS Flex or Windows ISOs anymore. It appears to still work with mac ISOs. Is it time to move to something else and what do you suggest?

[Paid] Wring: 12 offline developer tools in the macOS menu bar
Hi r/MacApps, I’m Ashwani, the maker of Wring.Problem:
I kept opening browser tools for small developer tasks like decoding JWTs, formatting JSON, testing regex, generating hashes, converting timestamps, comparing text, and managing .env values.That felt annoying for two reasons:It broke my flow while working in my editor or terminal.Some of that data can be sensitive, and I did not want to paste tokens, JSON, secrets, or .env values into random web tools.So I built Wring, a native macOS menu bar app with 12 offline developer tools.It includes:
JWT Inspector, JSON Formatter, Regex Tester, Hash Generator, Encoder / Decoder, Text Diff, Timestamp Converter, Cron Parser, Color Converter, UUID Generator, .env Manager, and Load Monitor.Comparison:
The closest alternatives are apps like DevUtils and DevToys.Wring is different because it is focused on being a small menu bar utility drawer rather than a larger toolbox window. It is built around quick access, local processing, and privacy.There is no account, no app analytics, no telemetry, no cloud sync, and no app network access. .env values are stored in the macOS Keychain.Pricing:
Wring is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.Price: $4.99 USD, with local App Store pricing depending on country.App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wring-developer-tools/id6767224580Website:
https://getwring.appI’d love feedback from Mac developers here, especially around what tools or workflows would make this more useful day to day.

Marked 3 Is the Markdown Companion a Lot of Mac Writers Have Been Waiting For
https://preview.redd.it/g63tc2lfci2h1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccc9f9dc0a0911530f1a1a66f5dce4f34cac4d49Brett Terpstra has released Marked 3, and this is not just a routine update. It’s one of those releases that makes you stop and think about where a tool actually fits in your workflow. If you write in Markdown on a Mac, there’s a very good chance Marked has been the missing piece all along.For years, I lived in Microsoft Word for anything that wasn’t email. That was the EdTech world: Word was the standard, `.doc` and `.docx` were the expected formats, and no one wanted to hear about alternatives. Never mind the huge app footprint, the licensing mess, the cost, or the absurdity of the entire Office suite when all you really needed was a word processor.And whenever someone in tech tried to suggest something leaner — OpenOffice, Google Docs, anything that didn’t come with Microsoft baggage — the pushback was immediate and emotional. In 2015, we were literally one day away from canceling our Microsoft contract when the superintendent made a late-afternoon phone call to my boss with a $100K purchase order to renew. That was the kind of environment it was.So yes, I value the freedom to choose my own tools now.Plain text has become the backbone of the way I work. Obsidian handles notes and longer writing. Drafts is where quick capture happens. Blogging tools and publishing platforms fill in the rest. Markdown wasn’t hard to learn, and once it clicks, it’s hard to go back. But Markdown has one weakness: the writing experience is only as good as the tools around it.That’s where Marked comes in.Marked DefinedMarked is not an editor. That’s the first thing to understand. It works alongside your editor, taking Markdown and rendering it live so you can actually see what your writing looks like without breaking your flow.It also works with HTML and OPML files, which makes it more flexible than a lot of people realize. And beyond rendering, Marked can convert documents to PDF, HTML, DOCX, and RTF. It also brings prose analysis, syntax checking, and integration with all sorts of writing and outlining apps.Who It’s ForThe short answer: anybody who writes.If you’re a coder or a technical writer, you get a lot of useful extras:Syntax highlighting for code blocksMathJax and KaTeX supportMermaid diagramsMultiMarkdown, YAML, and Pandoc metadata supportCriticMarkupThat’s useful, sure, but it’s not really why I care about it.For the kind of writing I do, the most valuable features are the ones that help me clean up my prose before I hit publish:Spelling and grammar checkingSentence simplification tipsWord count, sentence count, and sentence complexityReading timeGrade-level scoringThat’s the real value. Write where you’re comfortable, then let Marked tell you what the page actually looks like.The Little Things That Make It BetterMarked has a bunch of features that sound minor until you actually start using them regularly. Flexible search. Automatic table of contents generation. Bookmarking. A visual document overview. Collapsible sections. Keyboard access almost everywhere.It’s also a very nice Markdown reader, even when you’re not editing. Auto-scroll is there. So is distraction-free mode. And if you want to read faster, there’s even an RSVP-style overlay with adjustable WPM.If you work with outlines or mind maps, Marked supports embeds from popular apps and can even turn an outline into a mind map directly. That’s a niche feature, but a genuinely useful one if your brain works that way.There are also browser extensions for sending page URLs or selected content straight into Marked 3, which is a nice touch if you spend any time collecting notes from the web.Integrations MatterMarked works the way good Mac software should: it gets out of the way and plays well with the tools you already use.That means it fits alongside Scrivener, Word, MarsEdit, Bear, Ulysses, Obsidian, and other writing apps. In v3, Scrivener…

Searching for an App which was posted here (App to mute audio when tilting the screen)
So just wanted to ask for an App I thought I saw here.It was one you can use to mute music, etc when you close the lid of a macbook slightly. Thought I saw it here but did not find the post about it. Was it removed or am I misremembering the subreddit? Don't find it in the thread of the banned/warned users/apps. I think it had something like tild or tilt in the name but the search doesn't help me.And if it was removed then I atleast know that I don't need to search for it or install it.

ShakeToFocus - when you need to dim the background apps and you like the traditional settings window, not a sidebar
I've been learning Korean for a while now. Daily Anki sessions, trying to stay consistent.The problem: I'd open Anki, see a browser tab in the background, and that was it. Not even a notification: just the visual presence of something else being there. Five minutes of Korean turned into thirty minutes of whatever that tab was.I like Anki small and tight in the corner. Full screen is not an option.I built ShakeToFocus. Shake your mouse → dark overlay covers everything except the window you're in. Switch apps → it follows. Shake again to turn it off.Sohttps://reddit.com/link/1tje8c6/video/6fgstp76bg2h1/playerNow I open Anki, shake, and there's literally nothing else on screen to look at.Comparison with other apps:
- Monocle: plain dim overlay, no blur rendering, so near-zero CPU, zero GPU overhead at idle. Price the same.
- HazeOver: HazeOver hasn't shipped since 2019, plus shake trigger and multi-monitor support.
- blurred (free OSS): effectively abandoned. No Screen Recording, no Accessibility permissions — nothing. Built in Swift.Who am I:
I'm a solo dev, trying my best to finally pass Korean exam and playing with stuff around. Wanted to try to write something on MacOS for a long time already, so here it is.

Anyone else seen this iMessage-AI tool? Pretty cool reverse-engineering of chat.db
I’ve been looking for a way to use AI for texting that isn't just a generic chatbot, and I stumbled across this on GitHub.It’s a Python script that reads your local iMessage database and uses OpenAI to draft replies that actually mimic your own tone. What’s impressive is that it’s not just a wrapper—the dev actually reverse-engineered the way macOS stores message blobs and contacts, so it’s pretty context-aware.It comes with a basic GUI to preview and edit the message before it sends, so you aren't just firing off AI gibberish to people. You have to give it Full Disk Access since it reads the local database, but it’s a pretty clever piece of local automation if you're into that kind of thing.Has anyone played around with something like this before? Curious if it’s possible to swap out OpenAI for a local model to keep the whole thing offline.https://github.com/aditya-r123/iMessage-Bot

Saving the work environment
Dear r/macapps,
I'm looking for a tool for Mac that lets me restore or manage my workspace. For example, I’d like to have XCode on the screen at a specific window position I’ve set, and in the same size as when I last exited XCode. At the same time, I want to place Upnote at a specific screen position and maybe have Textastic somewhere on the screen as well. Is there a tool like that?

What is the best window switcher?
I've been using Alfred for a long time to launch apps. I recently got a new computer and since switching to it, I've been averaging 95 launches per day. Anyway, I'm trying to use my mouse less, so I've been experimenting with Homerow, made by the same developers as Superwhisper, which I love, so I figured I'd give it a shot.I've now run into the challenge of switching between per-app windows. I'm not entirely sure what workflow I want, but I'm wondering whether I should download a dedicated app, use Alfred, or try something else entirely. Open to any suggestions!Thanks in advance!
