Chong

Chong

Chong is an accountability journal for people who start projects and stall before finishing them. Every task carries a window: date, time, duration. Miss it and the app puts a short ritual in front of you before you can continue — it names which of five procrastination patterns stopped you, then walks you to the next move. You can name a witness who sees that you showed up and how much you committed, never a word of what you wrote. An AI coach reads your project state and asks the questions that expose where you are actually stuck.

Mark - Markdown Notes

Mark - Markdown Notes

Mark is a calm Mac notes app for markdown files that already live in a folder you share with someone else — on OneDrive, iCloud Drive or in a git repo. Point Mark at that folder and you get a clean sidebar, file list and editor on top of your existing files. The files on disk stay the source of truth: properties in YAML frontmatter, links as [[wikilinks]], nothing locked into a proprietary database, so the same folder keeps working in Obsidian, Finder or Claude Code.

Glimshelf

Glimshelf

Glimshelf is a privacy-first, offline-first comic and manga reader for your own library on iPhone and iPad. It needs iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. The beta is free, with Pro included throughout testing. Start with one of the included sample comics. No account or server setup is needed. Read a few pages, enlarge some lettering, then close and reopen the book. Was anything hard to find? Did you return to the page you expected? If you already use Komga, Kavita or OPDS, you can connect your library too. Try downloading a book and reading offline, then check your saved position after reconnecting. Glimshelf also opens local CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF and EPUB files. Please use content you have permission to test. Tell us what worked and what got in the way through Send Beta Feedback in TestFlight or support@glimshelf.com. For a problem, include your device and OS version, what you tried and what happened. Use sample content in screenshots and remove private information. Never include passwords, tokens, private server URLs, filenames, titles, page images or account identifiers. This is beta software. Background downloads and sync depend on system scheduling and connectivity. Glimshelf does not upload local diagnostics automatically; Apple/TestFlight may separately collect enabled beta feedback and crash data under Apple's controls. See this build's What to Test notes for the detailed checklist.

Mythspire

Mythspire

Mythspire is a portrait, one-thumb survivor game with the charm of a toy box and the crunch of an arcade. You steer a hero through swarms of monsters, and your weapons fire on their own. Survive as long as you can across a thirty-minute run made of five chapters, ending in boss fights. Everything is done with one thumb: drag to steer, flick to dash, and double-tap to fire your hero's ultimate. Level up during a run to pick weapons and passives, open chests for rewards, and unlock new heroes. Each hero has its own look, starting weapon, trait and ultimate. The game is single-player, works offline, and has no accounts, purchases or ads. No login is needed. This is an early test build. Feedback is most useful on how the controls feel (steering, the flick dash, double-tap ultimate), whether the screen is readable when the crowd gets thick, difficulty, and anything that crashes, stutters or looks cut off on your phone or iPad.

Trimothy

Trimothy

Trimothy is the Apple native, lightning fast, get-in-and-get-out video editing app of my dreams. The idea is simple: I don't want to create a whole project and library for every little video edit I need to make. Sometimes I just want to quickly combine two videos together, tweak the playback screen, change the audio or music, or add captions to a video. With Trimothy you can do all of these things, export, and then close it out leaving no trace behind. The app is, generally speaking, ephemeral (though I could add some concept of saving project files if that's something people really want.). You can add files by importing, dragging and dropping, copy and pasting, right clicking and "Open with", or from the share sheet.
