Hi all! I'm an indie dev working on a little app called Weatherling, which adds rain and snow to your Mac desktop.

I built this because I wanted to change the vibe while I work, so I started with a little rain. Then, it hit #8 on the Mac App Store for Utilities last week, and people asked for snow, so I added snow!

To keep the momentum going, I also added collectible little visitors called Lings. They come out to play in the weather, and if you enable Interactive mode, you can collect them in boxes. Rare Lings x Rare Boxes = Highest Combo Score. Share your score with friends to compete!

It's all very configurable. Adjust the rain and snow mix and intensity. Change the direction of the wind. You can even turn off the Lings if you only want to enjoy the weather. It's designed to be as visible or unobtrusive as you prefer. Make it your own.

It's completely sandboxed and on the Mac App Store. No extra permissions are required. No networked capabilities. No subscription. No in-app purchases. It all runs completely on your desktop.

I'm already working on the next version which should update later this week. People asked for falling leaves so leaves they shall have! 🍃 (I posted a sneak peek on my Twitter.) And more Lings coming too!

Check it out, and let me know what you think. All ideas welcome! Help me reclaim top 10. 🙏🏻

Flowara 2.4 — local-first freelance app for Mac: projects, time tracking, invoicing and Peppol e-invoicing

I build Flowara, a Mac app that connects project management, time tracking and invoicing in one local SQLite database. No cloud, no account, your data stays on your machine.

What's new in 2.4:

• Peppol e-invoicing — send compliant invoices over the Peppol network via your own Invoro account (mandatory for B2B in Belgium, rolling out in France)
• Flowara Mail Service — send invoices without configuring an SMTP server
• Partial payment registration with running balance
• UK sort code on invoices

Free tier is permanent. Pro at €5.99/month or €49.99/year, 30-day trial included.

Happy to answer questions.

Hey r/apple, solo developer here. It's Sunday, so I wanted to share something I've been building for the past months.

Trovelo is a trip planner for iPhone, iPad and Mac:

- MCP on Mac: Claude, Codex or any MCP client can build a full itinerary inside the app, running 100% locally and off by default.

- SwiftData + CloudKit: your trips live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud. No account, nothing uploaded to me.

- Foundation Models: type "dinner at Nobu 8pm ¥4000" and on-device AI turns it into a card with time, price and category. Works in 13 languages.

- MapKit: route optimization for each day and a map of every place you've been, built from your own photo library.

- WidgetKit and Live Activities: your next stop on the lock screen.

- Shared trips through CloudKit sharing, so you can plan with the people you travel with, still without my own servers.

- Universal Purchase, so one payment covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Free tier with 3 trips, Pro is a one-time $9.99, currently $6.99 with code TROVELO699 (Settings → Redeem).

I create ArchiveShelf, which is an app that lets you log and store things in it.

I initially built it to catalog everything I put into self-storage services, but some of my users have used it to document items for moving houses, collections, and just generally logging everything.

But I've ran out of feature ideas and want some ideas to put into version 2.0.

If you try it out, please suggest some features here, or via the Feedback button in the app!
