Hello!

I'd like to introduce my first Mac app - Dreamless.

The concept is simple: it automatically turns off Wi-Fi/Bluetooth when your Mac goes to sleep and turns them back on when it wakes up.

You may wonder why such an app is needed. The answer is simple: it saves your MacBook's battery life, helping keep it in good condition for as long as possible. It also prevents unwanted connections/processes from running without your knowledge when your Mac is asleep.

Features:

- Ability to toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth separately.

- All controls are in the menu bar - just two buttons!

- Uses minimal resources on your Mac. Overall, the use of system resources is close to zero.

- Option to add to auto-start.

Works on Apple Silicon and Intel. Requires macOS 13+.

Downsides:

- Despite my efforts to streamline this, due to macOS security, you’ll need to enter your admin password a few times during installation. This isn't to grant access to critical system services but simply to create folders, copy a few essential files, and run the program in the background for proper functionality.

- Disabling Wi-Fi may affect the Find My feature.

I use Dreamless daily, both with an external monitor and without any peripherals. With an external monitor, if I wake up my Mac by any means (I use a USB mouse), Bluetooth devices like the keyboard and trackpad connect in a few seconds. Without peripherals, it runs flawlessly.

In the end, I’ve created a handy utility I've been using for over a year.

For your safety, the app is signed and notarized, meaning it’s been verified by Apple for malware.

To celebrate the launch, I’m offering a 75% discount with the promo code APPLE, bringing the price down to just $1. The promo code will be valid for a month, until December 3rd. All future updates will be free.

Check out the app here: https://dreamless.app. 

I’d love to hear your feedback.

Thanks for your attention, and have a great day.

Hi r/apple!

My first app is a debt and savings tracker that lets you track your debts and savings goals. The UI becomes a dashboard to monitor those debts and savings, with many charts, projections, and calculators integrated into the debts.

All entered data is saved only on the device and in iCloud and is 100% private. It doesn’t have logins or synchronization with bank accounts, it works offline and doesn’t have a signup to use.

Current Features:

Debt Manager:

• Manage 14 types of debt in one place, including credit cards, student loans, auto loans, mortgages, and more.
• Easily add and track debts, view detailed progress reports, and plan repayment with a user-friendly interface.
• See detailed Amortization, Debt Payoff dates, and interest estimations for most debts
• Asset-Linked Debts: Connect mortgages to Houses, Cars to loans, student loans to degrees, etc

Savings Manager:

• Track savings goals for downpayments, emergency funds, weddings, home renovations, cars, and much more.
• Each savings can have multiple sources of funds to track across more than one place (such as savings account, gifts from family or brokerage + savings + physical cash, etc)
• Some savings types allow “downpayment” logic. For example, when you save for a car/house, you can save 10,20,50,100% of the total purchase price.
