Winners for Jul 31 - Aug 6, 2026
These projects were selected as the top performers of the week.
Macy
#1 Project of the dayMacy is a personal AI assistant that operates entirely within Apple's iMessage. Instead of requiring a separate app, users interact with Macy as a contact, sending and receiving texts. It connects to over 500 apps including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, WhatsApp, and Robinhood, allowing it to monitor activities, fetch documents, and execute actions on behalf of the user. The core problem Macy solves is information overload: it filters noise from multiple apps and proactively texts users about what actually matters, from flight changes to price alerts.What Makes Macy Stand OutProactive intelligence: Macy texts you first when something important happens, rather than waiting for you to check an app.Cross-app connectivity: With 500+ integrations, Macy can monitor email, calendar, messaging, finance, and more from one thread.Approval-based actions: Sensitive actions like trades or replies require a simple "yes" text before execution.Persistent memory: Macy remembers preferences, past conversations, and documents, making it a long-term personal assistant.Standing orders: Set rules once (e.g., "alert me when stock drops 5%") and Macy watches continuously, proposing actions when triggered.Who Should Use MacyBusy professionals who need to stay on top of email, calendar, and communications without juggling multiple apps.Investors and traders who want real-time alerts and the ability to approve trades via text.Anyone seeking a simpler digital life: Macy consolidates notifications, group chats, and tasks into a single iMessage thread, reducing app fatigue.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Macy?Macy is a personal AI that lives in your iMessages. There is no app to open. You text her, she texts you, and she can text you first when something needs your attention.How do I get access?Text her at the number on the website. Your first message opens the thread. No app, no signup, no waitlist.What does it cost?Macy is free during early access. After launch, it will likely be around $19 per month. Early users will be notified first.
AppUFO
#1 Project of the dayAppUFO is a macOS application that helps iOS developers quickly localize their apps by translating Xcode .xcstrings string catalogs into 36+ languages using AI. It solves the problem of expensive and slow manual localization, preserving placeholders, character limits, and brand names so translations fit the UI without breaking it. What Makes AppUFO Stand Out AI-powered translations: Translate entire .xcstrings files with context-aware AI that understands your app's terminology and keeps placeholders intact. Glossary & untranslated phrases: Maintain a custom glossary to ensure consistent brand terms, and mark words that should remain in the original language across all translations. Character limit enforcement: Set maximum character lengths per language to prevent UI layout issues caused by longer translated strings. Reverse translation: Verify translations by reversing them back to the source language using Apple Translate, useful for languages you don't speak. Bring your own AI key: For maximum privacy and control, use your own OpenAI or compatible API key with the lifetime plan. Who Should Use AppUFO iOS app developers who need to localize their Xcode projects into multiple languages efficiently without manual effort. Indie developers and small studios with limited budgets who want professional-quality localization without hiring translators or services. App localization managers who need to maintain translation consistency across multiple apps and languages. Frequently Asked Questions What is AppUFO? AppUFO is a native macOS app that imports Apple's .xcstrings localization files, translates them with AI, and exports them back to Xcode, supporting 36+ languages with features like glossary, character limits, and reverse translation. How does AppUFO work? Just drag and drop your .xcstrings file into AppUFO, select target languages, and the AI translates each string while preserving placeholders, format specifiers, and your custom glossary. You can then export the translated file directly into Xcode. Can I control translation quality? Yes. You can provide context about your app, maintain a glossary for brand terms, set character limits, and use reverse translation to verify outputs. The "bring your own key" option also lets you use advanced AI models.
