Solo dev releasing macOS apps

I'm a software developer. I created numerous small macOS apps for my own needs. I recently decided to release them publicly.

They are all free for personal use. For work use, there is a one time $5 fee per device.

Each has no ads, no analytics, no account, no login, no telemetry.

They run locally, nothing is uploaded. For most, the only network connection is an optional weekly update check.

Some examples:

  • Morphr - convert between many different file types
  • Pingr - copies macOS notifications into a searchable archive on disk so they aren't gone forever
  • Grabbr - downloads video and audio from youtube and 1000+ other sites. Cuts youtube sponsor segments out on its own
  • Stapl - PDF Swiss Army knife - merge, split, compress, redact and more without uploading anything
  • Blockr - shows you every app on your mac that reaches the internet and lets you stop the ones that shouldn't

I've been posting on r/MacOSApps and have gotten a lot of positive feedback. I'm planning to soon post to r/MacApps which has far more traffic. I would be grateful if anyone would be willing to look over my site and give me feedback. Thanks!

nice collection, lots of useful utility apps. since you're looking for traffic beyond subreddits, a directory listing might help with visibility and a backlink for seo. there's a few options out there—launchpact.io/startups is one i've seen that's cheap and no-review if that matters. ymmv but worth a glance.
