Snippets Stop Working: Have To Disable & Re-Enable All The Time
I'm running the most recent version of Alfred and I've noticed for the longest time now that my snippets will often stop working even though they are currently enabled in Alfred's preferences/settings. The way I get them to work again is to disable "Automatically expand snippets by keyword" and then immediately re-enabling it. Anyone know of a permanent solution to this issue?

Photos App (MacOS) - Move photos library from Intel iMac (Sequoia) to MBP M5 (Tahoe) on external drive
I have Photos App (running internally on a 4TB) on a 2020 iMac running Sequoia 15.7.8.I want to move my photos library over to a 2026 MBP M5 Pro running Tahoe but the photos library will be on an external drive not the MBP internal drive.What is the best way to do this? Doesn't the photos library on Sequoia do some sort of conversation when it is placed on Photos App running Tahoe?Any help is appreciated!

my own markdown editor - native, WYSIWYG, free
Hi everyone,I made my own markdown editor. It's called wander, native on Mac, also works on iPhone and iPad.App Store link. Website is here.Problem:Markdown editors make you choose: either a nice editing experience with your notes locked in a database (Apple Notes), or plain files on disk but raw markup and preview panes (Obsidian, iA Writer). I wanted Apple Notes editing feel on top of plain markdown files I fully control. So:- WYSIWYG editing: tables, images, checklists are real editable blocks, not preview- your notes stay plain markdown files in folders you control, no account, no cloud required- mostly compatible with Obsidian vaults (wikilinks, callouts, tags, frontmatter, theme support coming soon)- byte-faithful saves: if you keep notes in git, opening and saving a file with no edits produces zero diff. Nobody else does this- version history built in: every save is kept locally, timeline per note or whole vault, see what changed, restore or name any version. No git knowledge needed, no server. If your vault is already a git repo, your real commits show in the timeline too- also: ⌘K search, backlinks, comments on selected text, Finder tags, a wander terminal command, one-click default app for .mdComparison:- vs Obsidian: native instead of Electron, true WYSIWYG instead of live-preview (no markup flickering as the cursor moves). Opens your existing vault as-is- vs Apple Notes: same editing feel, but real files on disk instead of a database, no lock-in- vs iA Writer / Typora: tables and images are editable blocks, plus version history and an iPhone appPricing:Completely free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no account. If paid stuff ever comes it will be optional cloud services, the editor stays free.Still early. Next up: computational notes (variables, sheets, charts) and optional built-in cloud sync.

I build a Notch App for Github and its made me more productive
https://prnotch.pages.dev/ I built this notch app because I kept having to open github and check on PRs across different projects. For context I put up atleast 5-10 PRs a day across different repos and having to constantly check on comments, failures and CI's passing started becoming time consuming so I built this Mac app called PR Notch.https://preview.redd.it/cabvdtvam6gh1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=16b626fbe355acf11132fb1e325a1b408de623a3

SuperCmd v2 — MacOS launcher, Raycast v2 alternative, rebuilt in Swift
Hi Everyone, Introducing SuperCmd V2!macOS Launcher, an alternative to Raycast v2 - Completely rebuilt in Swift for native performance. All the features from SuperCmd v1 plus tons of new features.Problem: SuperCmd was built in Electron, which was the reason for many people to shy away from using the product. Raycast v2 uses about 600MB of RAM. We pay for multiple tools such as dictation apps, CleanShot, etc.Hence, I rebuilt SuperCmd completely in swiftIt has everything v1 has: raycast extension support, clipboard, snippets, quick links, window management commands, system commands, cloud sync, raycast extensions. Check the website for an exhaustive list.But here's what's new in v2Screenshot + annotation tool (cleanshot alternative)Widgets in launcher (cpu, memory, apps by usage, disk, calendar, time...)AI Agents with harness, GPT realtime (just like clicky)Windows styled alt + tab window switcherExecute terminal commands from the launcherQuick fix (AI command)Double tap hotkey supportCopy text from Image in Clipboard (OCR)Browser search with profilesDictation via on device Speech Analyzer (Apple AI)Dedicated AI chat windowAI chat with Apple on device LLMTranslate commandNext / Prev Space hotkey (no animation)3x less memory usage compared to RaycastComparison:Raycast charges $8/mo for pro features, SuperCmd charges one time fee $20 (early bird) for all the features including cloud syncRaycast sits at ~600 mb memory usage, SuperCmd sits at ~200mbPricing: $19.99 (early bird offer). try it out for free for 7 daysYou can checkout & download it here - https://supercmd.sh/newIf you are working at any organization, I am offering codebase access and unlimited licenses for all your employees at one flat fee.

[OS] Performance Monitor (Free forever!): an open-source macOS menu bar system monitor without telemetry!
Performance MonitorProblem:I wanted to see what my Mac is actually doing without paying a subscription or handing over telemetry to find out. Most of the good menu bar monitors are paid, and a few of the free ones are abandoned or phone home. I also didn't want the monitor to become a meaningful part of what it was measuring, which is a real issue with some of them.It shows CPU, memory, network, disk, GPU, per-sensor temperatures and fan speeds, SSD wear, system power draw in watts, and battery health. Each metric has a detail window, there's a history view going back 30 days, threshold alerts, and it's translated into 7 languages.Comparison:Stats (free, open source) is the obvious one and it's genuinely good. I treat it as the benchmark. Things mine does that Stats doesn't: SSD wear level read from NVMe SMART with no root needed, a history window with 30 days of data on disk, updates that are Ed25519 signed and verified inside the app before installing, and an opt-in beta channel with a one click way back to stable. Stats is more mature and has more menu bar layout options than I do.iStat Menus is the paid one, roughly 12 euros. It does more than mine and it's more polished. Mine is free and open source and will stay that way.Where mine is weaker than both: Apple Silicon only (M1 or later, macOS 14+), and it isn't notarised, so the first launch needs right click then Open. An Apple Developer ID costs 99 euros a year and I can't justify that for a free app yet. Updates are signature checked either way. Don't take my word for the safety though, the entire repo is open source so feel free to check for yourself!Pricing: Free. MIT licensed. No paid tier, no features held back, no accounts.brew install --cask inequitas/tap/performance-monitorhttps://github.com/inequitas/performancemonitor or https://perfmon.knhome.nlFull disclosure: I built this with a lot of help from Claude (Anthropic's AI).The architecture and the product decisions are mine and I reviewed the code, but much of the implementation and all of the non-English translations came from that.Those translations could genuinely use corrections from native speakers though, so if you want to lend a hand you're more than welcome to!.
