Today is a good day to ship some stuff! And it's my first MacOS app 🚢
Introducing: Cliptop, a super fast clipboard history manager with lots o' goodies!
The cool thing is that it hides under your Mac's notch, or can quickly be activated with Shift Cmd V, so it stays out
PSA
If you use the Sparkle Updater in your Mac app, and your app's bundle identifier ends with `.app` you will run into a bug that causes updates to not work on first try.
The Sparkle team fixed this bug in Sparkle 2.9.3. 🙌
There are ~25 affected apps on Amore.
Go update.
I've been thinking about building Mac apps, so I went down a rabbit hole researching the market first — how big it actually is, what sells, who's behind it all.
Turned it into a little site: macapps.report

There are good reasons to publish Mac apps outside of the App Store.
iA lists some reasons in their recent blog post.
- In-app purchases don’t work for institutional purchases
- Educational discounts
- Some companies disable access to the App Store
- Custom payments
ALT More Choice
For over 16 years, customers have asked for a way to buy iA apps outside the App Store. Some didn’t like App Store, some didn’t have access to it due to company policies. With direct sales it’s finally possible to use our apps both at home and at work.
Selling outside the App Store gives us and our users more flexibility. With iA Account you can now:
Buy iA Writer for Mac from via App Store or from us directly.
Access and extend add-on services like Web Sharing for iA Presenter.
Get educational discounts.
