Hey everyone!

I’m Shubi, a full-time software engineer from Canada and an indie developer in my spare time. Building Mac apps has become my hobby (and honestly, my way of unwinding after work).

Over the last few years I found myself installing more and more utilities.

• One app for launching apps.
• One for clipboard history.
• One for OCR.
• One for AI.
• One for temporary file shelves.
• One for keeping the Mac awake.
• One for hiding menu bar icons.
• One for window management.
• One for notes.
• One for reminders.
• One for canvas
• One for dictation
• One for TTS

They’re all fantastic apps individually, but together they duplicate shortcuts, consume memory, and make macOS feel surprisingly fragmented.

So instead of building yet another utility, I wanted to build something that could replace the collection.

That’s how Vehla started.

What is Vehla?

Vehla is a native macOS command center that combines many of the utilities I use every day into one application with a consistent interface.

Instead of switching between a dozen apps, everything is available from one global shortcut.

Some of the biggest features include:

Universal Command Palette

• Launch apps, files, folders and URLs
• Search clipboard history
• Search browser history, bookmarks, contacts and calendars
• Run Apple Shortcuts
• Execute terminal commands
• Window management
• Homebrew package management
• Native macOS actions
• Timers, calculator, conversions and much more

AI (Local or Cloud)

• Rewrite text
• Summarize
• Translate
• Explain
• Generate code
• Draft emails
• Generate shell commands
• Ask questions about screenshots, selected text, notes, webpages and files

You can run everything using local models on Apple Silicon or bring your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, DeepSeek or other providers.

QuickGlass

Select text anywhere and Vehla instantly appears.

Rewrite, summarize, translate, fix grammar, explain, copy, or perform custom AI actions without leaving the app you’re already using.

Flow

Private dictation that works anywhere.

Hold Fn, speak, release.

Supports Apple Speech, Apple Speech Analyzer, NVIDIA Parakeet, Whisper, Nemotron and more.

Clipboard Manager

The clipboard manager has grown into one of my favorite parts of Vehla.

It includes:

• searchable clipboard history
• OCR on copied images
• QR detection
• rich link previews
• pinned clips
• clip stacks
• folders
• tags
• per-app privacy rules

It also has deep integration with AwesomeCopy, so if you’re already using AwesomeCopy you can keep it as your clipboard watcher while Vehla automatically syncs your clipboard history in the background.

Vehla Island

A Dynamic Island / Notch-inspired utility that includes:

• music controls
• clipboard tools
• voice notes
• timers
• upcoming meetings
• system activity
• quick AI
• recent links

Notes & Canvas

• Native markdown notes
• AI-powered editing
• Fast search
• Infinite canvas for brainstorming, diagrams and planning

Plugin Store

One of the biggest additions in Vehla 8.

You can install extensions written in:

• TypeScript
• Native Swift

Extensions run in isolated processes with permissions, secure secrets, publisher verification and rich native UI.

The SDK is fully open source if anyone wants to build for it.

Deep Integrations

Vehla now integrates deeply with my other apps as well.

Lekh AI Pro integrates directly with Vehla, making it easy to access your local AI workflows without switching applications.

AwesomeCopy has deep integration with Vehla. If you’re already using AwesomeCopy as your clipboard manager, you don’t have to choose one or the other. AwesomeCopy can continue monitoring your clipboard while Vehla automatically syncs its history in the background, giving you access to AI actions, search, OCR, clip stacks, and everything else Vehla’s clipboard system offers.

Built for macOS

One thing that’s really important to me is making Vehla feel like a Mac app instead of a website wrapped in Electron.

It’s written natively for macOS and focuses heavily on:

• keyboard-first workflows
• Apple Silicon performance
• local-first AI where possible
• privacy
• no telemetry
• one-time purchase (no subscription)

Download

Download: https://vehla.app/download
Documentation: https://vehla.app/docs
Extension SDK: https://github.com/ibuhs/vehla-extensions

Vehla definitely isn’t “finished.” I ship updates almost every week, and a surprising number of features have come directly from Reddit feedback.

If you try it, I’d genuinely love to hear:

• what’s useful,
• what’s missing,
• and what would make you replace one more utility with it.

Thanks for reading!

Hey r/macapps!

I am a full-time software engineer who builds apps as a hobby and as a therapeutic activity.

Problem

Like a lot of people here, I ended up with an absurd number of utilities running on my Mac.

• One app for launching things.
• Another for moving windows.
• Another for clipboard history.
• Another for OCR.
• Another for keeping the display awake.
• Another for temporary file shelves.
• Another for reminders.
• Another for AI.

Individually they're all excellent, but together they consume resources, duplicate shortcuts, and make macOS feel fragmented.

I wanted one keyboard-first utility that could handle most of the things I repeatedly do throughout the day without constantly switching between apps.

That's why we built Vehla.

What Vehla Does

Vehla combines many everyday Mac utilities into a single native app.

In practice, it combines parts of:

• Alfred / Raycast: command palette, app launching, files, workflows, aliases, custom searches, shortcuts
• Magnet: window management
• Amphetamine: keep display awake
• Dropover: temporary file shelf / drag-and-drop buckets
• Text Sniper: screenshot OCR / text capture
• Hidden Bar: menu bar icon hiding
• Dynamic Island-style utilities: music controls, timers, clipboard, agenda, and quick AI
• Folder Dock: iOS style folders next to your dock
• Plus clipboard history, emoji/symbol search, Homebrew package search, native Mac commands, media downloads, notes, canvas, snippets, personas, and local/cloud AI actions

Productivity & Mac Utilities

• Launch apps, files, folders, URLs, and System Settings panes
• Search clipboard history, contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, and browser history
• Search contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, and browser history
• Create reminders and calendar events in plain English
• Run terminal commands, Apple Shortcuts, custom workflows, and URL templates
• Copy/move files, reveal Finder selections, copy paths, and find latest screenshots
• Lock Mac, sleep display, restart, eject drives, empty Trash, quit apps
• Search/install/update/uninstall Homebrew packages
• Use timers, calculator, unit/currency/date/timezone tools, dictionary, spelling, passwords, UUIDs, Base64, hashes, URL encoding, and text cleanup

AI Features

• Rewrite, summarize, translate, explain, and draft replies
• Generate shell commands, code, and structured text
• Use custom AI actions, snippets, personas, and memory
• Ask questions using notes, clipboard history, selected text, screenshots, webpages, and files
• Run local AI with Gemma/MLX on Apple Silicon
• Or bring your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, and Brave Search keys

Notes & Canvas

• Native markdown notes with fast search
• AI can read, edit, summarize, rewrite, and organize notes
• Canvas / Excalidraw-style whiteboard for brainstorming, planning, images, drawings, and AI-generated content

A few things we wanted to do differently:

• One-time purchase, no subscription
• Local-first where possible
• Bring-your-own-key for cloud AI providers
• Fast global hotkey workflow, so it feels like a real Mac utility instead of another chatbot window
• No telemetry

Comparison

Vehla isn't trying to replace Alfred, Raycast, Magnet, Dropover, Amphetamine, Hidden Bar, or TextSniper individually.

The goal is to replace the collection.

If you're already using several of those utilities together, Vehla aims to bring much of that functionality into one native application with a consistent interface, while also adding built-in AI, notes, canvas, workflows, and local AI support.

Pricing

It’s normally $29.99, but I’m running a 30% 6.0 update discount, so it’s currently $20.99 for a lifetime license.

If you’re someone who already uses a bunch of Mac productivity utilities, I’d love for you to try it and tell me what feels useful, what feels missing, and what should be improved.

----------------

The idea is simple: instead of having a bunch of separate utilities running for launching apps, moving windows, keeping the display awake, dropping files, OCRing screenshots, managing clipboard history, and running AI actions, Vehla brings a lot of that into one keyboard-driven app.

In practice, it combines parts of:

• Alfred / Raycast: command palette, app launching, files, workflows, shortcuts
• Magnet: window management
• Amphetamine: keep display awake
• Dropover: temporary file shelf
• Text Sniper: screenshot OCR / text capture
• Plus clipboard history, emoji picker, Homebrew package search, native Mac commands, and local/cloud AI actions

Productivity & Mac Utilities

• Launch apps, files, folders, and URLs
• Search clipboard history and pin items
• Search contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, and browser history
• Create reminders and events in plain English
• Run terminal commands
• Lock Mac, sleep display, restart, eject drives, empty Trash
• Password, UUID, date, currency, and unit tools

AI Features

• Rewrite, summarize, translate, and explain
• Generate shell commands and code
• Snippets and custom personas
• Memory notes
• Local AI support with Gemma4
• Bring your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or OpenRouter keys

A few things I wanted to do differently:

• One-time purchase, no subscription
• 7-day free trial
• Local AI support with Gemma/MLX on Apple Silicon
• Bring-your-own-key for cloud AI providers
• Works from a global hotkey, so it feels more like a Mac utility than a chatbot

It’s normally $29.99, but I’m running a 30% launch/update discount, so it’s currently $20.99 for a lifetime license.

Hey everyone,

I built Vehla because my Mac had become a collection of separate tools:

• Alfred for launching things
• Raycast for commands and snippets
• Dropover for moving files around
• Amphetamine for keeping my Mac awake
• OCR tools for grabbing text from the screen
• ChatGPT for writing and AI tasks
• Clipboard managers for copy history

None of them were bad. I just got tired of constantly switching between them.

Vehla is my attempt to bring all of that into a single menu bar app.

• Search clipboard history and pin items
• Search contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, and browser history
• Create reminders and events in plain English
• Run terminal commands
• Lock Mac, sleep display, restart, eject drives, empty Trash
• Password, UUID, date, currency, and unit tools

Built-In Utilities

BarKeep

• Organize and collapse menu bar icons

Shelf

• Dropover-style shelf for files, images, links, and text

Text Sniper

• OCR text from anywhere on screen

Keep Awake

• Amphetamine-style keep-awake mode

Hey all,

I'm an indie Mac developer and I've been working on an app called Lekh AI Pro.

Problem

AI on Mac is kind of fragmented right now.

You end up juggling:

• ChatGPT in a browser
• Ollama in a terminal
• LM Studio for local models
• Separate apps for image generation
• Different tools for voice cloning
• Browser extensions for AI workflows
• Cloud subscriptions everywhere

Most solutions either lock you into a single provider, require sending everything to the cloud, or feel like a collection of disconnected tools.

No hidden background services.

Website

https://lekhai.app/pro

Happy to answer any questions or hear feedback from fellow Mac users.

Built this because I was tired of constantly switching tabs just to use AI.

Vehla is a macOS menu bar AI assistant that works more like Spotlight for AI than a chatbot app.

You select text anywhere on your Mac, open the palette, and instantly run actions like:

• Rewrite / summarize / translate

• Explain or refactor code

• Generate commit messages + PR descriptions

• Research webpages with Brave Search

• Extract text or ask questions about screenshots/images

• Create calendar events from plain English

• Use saved snippets + personas

• Run local AI models on-device with MLX or use your own API keys

Since launch I’ve added:

• Conversational follow-up chat inside results

• Vision actions + screenshot chat

• Editable AI responses

• Fuzzy search + app-aware actions

• iCloud sync

• DeepSeek support

• Liquid glass redesign

• Better clipboard + workflow automation tools

The goal is simple:

AI should feel built into macOS, not trapped in another browser tab.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who use AI daily for writing, coding, research, email, or productivity.

Hey everyone,

I’m the solo developer behind Lekh AI, a fully on-device AI app for iPhone & iPad.

Been working on this app pretty obsessively lately and thought I’d share some of what it can do now after the recent 7.0 updates.

Everything runs locally on-device:

- AI chat

- Vision

- Image generation

- Voice + transcription

- RAG / memory chats

- Local model server over LAN

No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud required.

Recently added:

- Dreamshaper XL Lightning (low-memory SDXL image generation)

- Gemma 4 support

- Bonsai 8B support

- Better chat performance

- Improved memory handling

- Faster model loading

- General UX cleanup + stability fixes

Supported models include:

Gemma, Qwen, LLaMA, DeepSeek, Phi, Mistral, GGUF models, and more.

The image generation side has been a huge focus lately because I wanted something that actually works on lower-memory iPhones/iPads without feeling unusable.

One thing I’ve been trying really hard to do with Lekh AI is make local AI feel approachable instead of “developer-only.”

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lekh-ai/id6757496953

Would genuinely love feedback from other indie devs / local AI people here 🙏

Hey r/GenAiApps,

I just released Luviosa, an open-source macOS live wallpaper app built with SwiftUI, AppKit, AVFoundation, and CoreGraphics.

The idea is pretty simple: I wanted a native Mac app for animated wallpapers that feels polished, stays out of the way, and works from the menu bar instead of living in the Dock.

What it does:

• Browse curated live wallpapers by category
• Apply animated wallpapers to one or more displays
• Import your own videos, GIFs, and images
• Favorite wallpapers and access them from a Favorites tab
• Search by title, subtitle, or tags
• Persist display selections, playback volume, pause behavior, and active wallpapers
• Keep wallpapers running after closing the main window
• Run as a menu bar app with no Dock icon

It renders wallpaper using desktop-level windows behind desktop icons, with AVFoundation handling looping playback.

The app is GPLv3 licensed.

GitHub: https://github.com/ibuhs/Luviosa

I’d love feedback, especially from macOS developers or anyone who has worked with desktop-level windows, multi-display behavior, or efficient video playback on macOS.

Hey everyone,

I’m launching Vehla, a macOS menu bar AI assistant built around one idea: AI should be available wherever you’re already working, not trapped in another browser tab.

Vehla gives you a universal command palette for your Mac. Select text in any app, hit your shortcut, and run actions like:

• Rewrite professionally, casually, confidently, or concisely
• Summarize text or webpages
• Translate
• Explain or refactor code
• Generate commit messages, PR descriptions, release notes, bug reports
• Use custom snippets and personas
• Run local AI on-device with Gemma + MLX, or use your own cloud provider keys

A few things I cared about while building it:

• It lives in the menu bar and stays out of the way.
• It supports local AI, so sensitive text can stay on your Mac.
• It has a real command palette, not a chatbot window.
• It auto-copies formatted results so you can paste back into Mail, Slack, docs, etc.
• It has a 7-day free trial and a one-time license for 2 Macs.

I’m still polishing the app and would love feedback from people who actually use AI while writing, emailing, coding, or working across multiple apps.

Download: https://vehla.app

Would love to hear what feels useful, what feels confusing, and what actions you’d want added next.

Hey all – I’m an indie Mac developer and I’ve been working on a new app called Veroi.

Honestly, I built it because I got frustrated with most meeting tools.

A lot of them:

• send everything to the cloud
• feel slow and bloated
• or just give you giant transcripts you never look at again
• are subscription based

You leave a meeting thinking:
“okay, we should do X next”

Then a week later nobody remembers:

• who said it
• who owns it
• or even which meeting it came from

So I started building Veroi.

The idea was simple:
make meetings feel connected instead of disposable.

Veroi records both mic + system audio on Mac and transcribes meetings in real time.

• Everything runs locally on-device.
• No audio uploads.
• No cloud processing.

After meetings it generates:

• summaries
• action items
• decisions
• highlights
• follow-ups
• even draft emails/messages

using local AI models like Gemma 4.

But the part I care about most is the memory/project side of it.

Instead of meetings being isolated recordings, Veroi groups everything by project/client.

You can:

• chat with old meetings
• search discussions across time
• connect docs with meetings
• carry context between recurring calls

So over time it becomes more like a memory layer for your work instead of just another recorder app.

I also wanted it to help with project management without adding more admin work.

So action items are automatically extracted, decisions stay attached to projects, and meeting history carries forward naturally.

A big reason I built this was privacy.

I wanted:

• local-first AI
• no bots joining meetings
• no subscriptions
• no sending work conversations to random servers
• something that actually felt native to macOS

So it’s built specifically for Apple Silicon Macs.

Not Electron.
Not a web wrapper.

Pricing:

• free trial available
• no credit card required
• launch pricing is currently 30% off ($55.30 one-time purchase)
• no subscription

Privacy-wise:

• everything stays on your Mac.
• No meeting audio, transcripts, or documents are sent externally.
• The only online call is license verification.

I’m also working on a companion iOS app and just launched the TestFlight.

The iPhone/iPad version works well for:

• in-person meetings
• speakerphone calls
• interviews
• lectures/classes
• using as a second-device meeting companion

(Apple unfortunately doesn’t allow direct capture of Zoom/FaceTime/phone-call audio on iOS.)

The Mac app still has the full experience with mic + system audio capture and deeper integrations.

The iOS TestFlight is free while I gather feedback and improve things.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who spend their lives in meetings every week.

Hey everyone, I’m Shubi, an indie app developer and software engineer.

I’ve always found App Store screenshot creation weirdly painful. There are some polished tools out there, but many are expensive, overly broad, or feel like full design suites when all I really want is: drop in a screenshot, write a strong caption, make it look good, and export.

So I built Pane, a macOS app for creating App Store-ready screenshots.

It’s directly inspired by ezscreenshots, but I wanted to explore a native Mac version with support for 3D GLB device models.

Current features:

• iPhone and Mac screenshot modes
• App Store preset sizes
• Gradient, solid, and image backgrounds
• Custom captions and subtitles
• Zoom callouts for highlighting features
• 2D device transforms
• GLB-based 3D device rendering
• Screenshot placement inside the 3D model
• iPhone 15 Pro Max model with frame color controls
• Full-resolution PNG export

It’s licensed under GPLv3. The included iPhone 15 Pro Max 3D model is credited separately under CC BY 4.0.

I’m still testing some parts, especially non-GLB model formats, but GLB support is the main path right now.

I’d love feedback from people here who think about ASO seriously:

What screenshot features actually move the needle for conversion?

Do you care more about polished device renders, clear text/callouts, localization workflow, competitor-style templates, or fast export variants?

Happy to share the repo

Hey all – I’m an indie Mac developer and I’ve been working on a new app called Veroi. Sorry, I had to read the rules first. Previous post was removed.

Problem

meetings:

most meeting tools either:

• send everything to the cloud
• feel bloated / slow
• or just dump raw transcripts you never read

you leave a meeting with “we should do X” but no clear action items, no ownership, and no memory across meetings and if you want to revisit something later? good luck digging through transcripts or recordings

Solution: Veroi

record meetings locally:

records both mic + system audio, so it captures the entire conversation (not just your voice or one side)

real-time transcription (on-device):

everything runs locally on your mac – no uploads, no servers. you see transcripts as the meeting happens

Gemma4 powered summaries + action items:

after each meeting, veroi generates:

• summaries
• action items
• decisions
• key highlights

so you don’t have to rewatch or reread anything

meeting memory (this is the big one):

you can chat with past meetings + documents

it connects conversations across time, so it’s not just “one meeting = one summary”

it becomes a memory layer for your work

project-based organization: meetings are grouped by project/client instead of a flat list of recordings so context actually builds over time

Comparision

local-first:

most tools like Otter.ai or Fireflies.ai rely heavily on cloud processing

veroi runs fully on-device

full audio capture: a lot of mac tools only record mic or depend on specific apps veroi captures mic + system audio together

memory layer: most tools stop at summaries veroi lets you query across meetings + documents like a knowledge base

mac-native: built specifically for mac (apple silicon optimized), not a web wrapper

Price

free trial: you can try everything for a few days and see if it fits your workflow. No credit card required.

paid: Reddit Launch event 30% OFF $55.30 one-time purchase (no subscription)

think of it less as paying for a tool, more as supporting a local-first approach to AI apps

• everything runs locally on your device

Trust & transparency

I’m an indie mac developer building this in public. Some of you may be familiar with my previous works. Lekh AI/Pro

Ai disclaimer

The website veroi.ai was built using claude design. Everything else has been in works for months. Lekh AI codebase helped fast track the development.
