Indie iOS and macOS apps are proving beta feedback is how you ship. From TestFlight invites to live bug chatter, small teams turn early signals into real features for OlaFic and ConvertFast.
OlaFic Beta & TestFlight — OlaFic invites testers on TestFlight to try an AI-powered fitness coach that makes calorie counting easy (snap photos of food), tracks water intake, and supports weight gain or loss goals. Early testers report new builds, updates, and fixes as the app evolves. [1]
Neatify v1.2 — Neatify positions itself as a simpler alternative to Hazel for macOS file automation. The v1.2 update adds Menu Bar Integration, Launch at Login, and a background mode so sorting runs without a dock icon, helping you keep projects flowing in the background. [2]
PromoAI Post-Launch Feedback — PromoAI has debuted on the App Store as a tool for creating ecommerce ad visuals. The post invites valuable feedback and notes ongoing bug chatter around the new "Detailed Settings" feature that can drop price data. [3]
ConvertFast Offline Converter — ConvertFast runs locally with zero uploads and no internet, so privacy stays on-device. It supports 2,500+ formats, batch processing, and bonus tools like a PDF toolkit, image tools, and audio/video utilities. [4]
Arm World Week 1 — Arm World shares first-week metrics and discusses visuals decisions; readers push for better screenshots, a sharper title/subtitle, and an icon before doing ASA. [5]
Bottom line: beta loops are turning prototypes into shipped Mac and iOS tools—watch these indie releases for the next updates.
