Hiring someone to set up my system
Is it possible?Law and policy research, medical records, essays, bookmarks, and I'm hoping to scan documents that I don't have in pdf form.What most appeals is automated sorting/tagging and more convenient naming, searching.I would like to integrate Obsidian too for writing and thinking.I don't have the mind to create my own scaffold, can I find help? Where? What will it cost?Thank you!

Foyer: ambient sound you place around yourself, from the menu bar
Problem. I work better with background sound, but every mixer I tried is a stack of sliders: rain at 40, fire at 60, all of it landing in the middle of my head. After an hour that flat wall is its own kind of tiring and I'd end up turning it off.Foyer puts each sound on a canvas as an orb you drag around yourself. Distance sets the volume, left and right sets the pan, so you build a room by placing things in it instead of balancing faders. It's real binaural spatial audio. It lives in the menu bar, so switching rooms or setting a sleep timer never opens a window.Comparison.A Soft Murmur is the classic free mixer: ten sliders, no account, and an App Store privacy label that reads Data Not Collected, same as mine. If sliders do the job for you it's genuinely fine, and it's free. The difference here is placement rather than level, plus a native menu-bar presence and rooms that carry over to the iPhone.Endel is the other direction: a subscription, an account required, and an App Store privacy label listing identifiers used to track you, with advertising among the stated purposes. Foyer has no account, no analytics in the app, and one payment.Pricing. The free tier does not expire: the whole 12-sound library, three sounds per room, five saved rooms, menu-bar control and sleep timer, AirPods head tracking, and shareable rooms.$9.99 once unlocks unlimited sounds and rooms, scheduling, Shortcuts and Focus filters, and iCloud sync. One purchase covers Mac and iPhone. No subscription, no account.Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779207564?mt=12Screenshots: https://usefoyer.appDisclosure: I'm the developer.

Which Popclip extensions do you use most?
With the new release of popclip, i decided to look into new settings and extensions.I mostly use cut/copy/paste, open link, and open easydic (which i use mostly for AI translations), I have a few others, but never really use them. Not because they are aren't useful, but because I need them so seldomly that I forget they are in the popclip popup. Any extensions you use for a relative generic workflow that you recommend? by generic I mean, i am not a dev, so rarely will I need to convert text to snake_case and things like that.thanks

Is there a way to customize the Shortcuts app's Notifications?
I am using the Show Notification action within a Shortcut, the Shortcut/Notification works fine, it shows up on the screen and Notification Center, but I can't customize it in the System Settings --> Notifications --> Application Notifications section, because the Shortcuts app in not in the list of Applications, all the other apps that use Notifications are there, but Shortcuts is not, is there a way to reset Notifications so Shortcuts can show up and I can customize its Notifications? ThanksNote: I have this issue on two MacBooks M1 and M2, running Sequoia 15.7.8 and Golden Gate Public Beta 2 respectively.

DedupX 1.6.0 - find exact and similar duplicates on Mac (incl. Photos Library)
I’m the developer of DedupX. Posting because 1.6.0 is out, and a lot of it came from the blunt feedback on my last thread. Grateful to all those who reached out with their experiences and feedback, and I hope you like the improvements.Problem: Duplicate photos and files pile up across Downloads, external drives, and the Photos Library. Finder can’t sort that out. You need something that finds exact copies and near-duplicates, lets you review them quickly, and deletes safely (Trash / Recently Deleted), without a bloated workflow.CompareSimilar to Gemini 2 by MacPaw and CCleaner, DedupX uses perceptual hashing to find visually similar images across formats and resolutions, not just byte-identical files. DedupX also scans the System Photos Library (full access), matches exact and similar images against your folders, and the current version 1.6.0 adds a sentence-builder for bulk selection (AND/OR conditions) plus a redesigned two-pane results view with a thumbnail strip.PhotoSweeper X: PhotoSweeper is excellent for visual comparison. DedupX focuses on a simpler review loop, smarter keep suggestions (prefer originals over copy / numbered names), persisted scan settings, and lower pricing for people who want exact + similarity without paying PhotoSweeper money.Not claiming to beat either at everything. If you already love one of those, keep it. DedupX is for people who want a lighter, modern Mac-native tool that covers folders and Photos together.Major Features in 1.6.0System Photos Library support: full Photos access required; exact + similarity matching; deletions go to Recently DeletedRedesigned results view: two-pane layout with horizontal thumbnail stripSentence-builder selection with composable AND/OR conditionsMajor scan performance work, including Quick ScanVisual polish and clearer deletion warningsScan individual files and package libraries (e.g. Photo Booth) when detectedPricingFree trial: 10 scans or 7 days (whichever first)Annual: $5.99/yearLifetime: $16.99 onceA 30% discount coupon is available, valid on both subscription (1st year only, $5.99/yr. after that) and lifetime tiers: DEDUPX30OFFProduct + purchase: https://maheepk.net/projects/dedupx/Privacy Policy: https://maheepk.net/projects/dedupx/privacy/Terms of Service / EULA: https://maheepk.net/projects/dedupx/terms/The app is notarized for peace of mind.Who I amMy name is Maheep Kumar.

Native Live-Preview Markdown Editor, not just another vibe-coded Markdown app
Hey guys (& and gals),I've been building a Markdown editor app for the past few months. Let me tell you why. So a few months ago, I realized I kept opening Obsidian to edit all my Markdown files. I'd copy the Markdown from Coteditor, my text editor of choice (I highly recommend it), and paste it into a designated note called Scrap[.]md in my Obsidian vault to edit and then paste it back after I was done. Now this generally worked for my workflow, and I still do this often, but the problem arises when Obsidian isn't already open. Because Obsidian is an Electron app, it takes forever to open!Problem & ComparisonI figured there must be an easier way to open Markdown files and optimize my workflow. I did come across and try a few editors like Marktext, MarkJason, and the $15 USD Typora. However, I felt like these editors were either a bit clunky, or missing some features.Over the course of a few months of developing Marklet, I hope I've developed something unique.Marklet is not only native Appkit, but it's based on Textkit, meaning it starts up reallllly really fast, and is intuitive, because you've already used to Textedit and other Apple apps.Mine is a fully featured app, with Keyboard Shortcuts, tables where you can easily add new lines or rows, and even a command bar ⌘+⇧+p to help you find what you're looking for (and more)!The first thing I noticed in Typora was its code blocks are missing a copy button that also show you what language you're working with.Marktext is missing a few nice to have features such as a reading mode, tables that fit your screen with text-wrapping, and image resizing the way Obsidian does itMarkjason is permanently stuck on dark mode, and doesn't have live-preview.Marklet's features are all configurable, so you can customize the app based on your personal preferences.Marklet will be FREE on the Mac App Store for the first two weeks until August 16th, as a promotion, then it will be $2.99 thereafter.https://getmarklet.comhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/marklet-markdown-editor/id6791297358?mt=12I hope you enjoy my app, and I fully welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have. If you do stumble upon any bugs, let me know, and I'll address it.

What’s missing that would make YouTube meaningfully better for you? Please share what would make your YouTube experience meaningfully better.PS: We would try to handle the ad blocking by default if feasible/stable/reliable.

Simple Video Editor for Mac?
Is there a video editing app out there that will allow me to cut out middle parts of a video, add clips together and with minimalistic sound / visual adjustments (exposure, pitch, cropping).Don't get me wrong, im an avid Davinci Resolve user and I love its complexity. Im just on the lookout for a simpler editing solution that is quick and won't break the bank (no subscriptions, one time purchase)Thanks
