New Mac/iOS apps are doubling down on offline power, privacy-first data, and micro-learning. The wave spotlights Upyng, Viatza, WealthTrunk, Podly, and FilesMagicAI—each carving a niche in how developers and users work.
Upyng bundles regex testing, JSON/YAML/XML/CSV formatting, Grok testing, text comparison, and a cron helper into an offline macOS toolkit. It runs entirely offline, sparing devs from online detours. Windows and Linux releases are planned for October 15. [1]
Viatza is a privacy-first health tracker with data stored locally, giving users control over symptoms, attachments, appointments, and a personal profile. There were reports of crashes on iOS 18.7; a TestFlight build was shared to address it. [2]
WealthTrunk helps track net worth across family members, with charts, PDFs, and future-growth projections. Everything lives in personal iCloud, not on a central server. A roadmap includes multi-currency support, logos, and custom account types, with a free period this month. [3]
Podly delivers bite-sized insights from non-fiction podcasts, with lifetime access via a promo that replaces a $99.99 IAP for first users. Daily sessions stay under five minutes to help you level up on the go. [4]
FilesMagicAI V2 for macOS automates organization of Downloads, Desktop, Documents, and cloud folders, without reading file contents. Version 2 adds restore, activity monitor, pause/unpause, a duplicates scanner, plus a 15-day trial before freemium. The free tier provides 1 organization per month. [5]
