Speechius

The teleprompter that actually listens

Speechius is a smart teleprompter that follows your voice, scrolling your script in real time as you speak. It adapts to your pace, so you can speed up, slow down, or go off-script without needing a foot pedal or fixed speed settings. It works seamlessly during live webinars, Zoom calls, or OBS streams and remains invisible to your audience. The app is fully on-device for privacy, available on macOS and Windows, and requires only a one-time purchase.

FluentDB

FluentDB

The AI database client for Mac

FluentDB is an AI-enhanced database client designed for macOS that supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server. It prioritizes speed and security, allowing you to connect your own API keys for Anthropic and OpenAI or use local models via Ollama. Your data remains on your machine because models only access your schema, and every SQL query generated by AI requires your manual approval. It is a secure tool for developers who want to leverage AI without compromising their database privacy.

05

PromptQL

PromptQL

Multiplayer AI that replaces Slack

Stop losing team knowledge in private AI chats or fragmented Slack threads. PromptQL brings your team together in shared AI workspaces where you can tag teammates to review and refine answers.

06

TouchGrass

TouchGrass

Context-aware break reminders without invasive permissions

TouchGrass is a smart break reminder for macOS that actually understands what you are doing. Instead of just tracking time, it stays quiet during your meetings, video calls, or while you are recording your screen. It automatically tracks when you step away from your desk as a break and sends gentle nudges to help you blink, fix your posture, or stretch after long sessions of typing. Everything stays on your local machine for privacy, and it never needs invasive permissions. You can try it for 7 days for free, and then it is just a one-time purchase of $3.99 for lifetime updates.

07
