Notchie
Notchie is a lightweight macOS teleprompter app that places your script right under your MacBook’s camera (in the area around the notch) so it looks like you’re locked in, even when you’re checking your line.
Tt uses voice‑synced scrolling instead of a fixed speed, pausing and speeding up when you do, so delivery feels natural.
Best part is that the overlay stays invisible during screen sharing. 🤫
Evernote v11
Remember Evernote?
They’ve just launched v11. The cloud-based note-taking and productivity app is a “second brain” for notes, to-dos, scanned documents, web clippings, audio recordings, etc.
Notes are searchable by keyword, tag, or date, and the system automatically syncs everything so it’s available offline and up-to-date across platforms.
AI adds semantic search, summarization and organization help, and intelligent meeting transcription, too.
Folk
Folk is a new CRM that does background tasks for you, like summarizing interactions, generating research notes, suggesting timely follow-ups based on conversation context, and automating personalized outreach sequences.
The design is pretty intuitive and feels more like a collaborative workspace than a legacy CRM, with shared pipelines, customizable views, and flexible data models.
Social Champ
Dumping your current social media mgmt platform in 2026?
This one’s got all the must-haves: a unified content calendar for visual planning and scheduling, analytics and reporting tools to track engagement trends, and a social inbox for managing comments and messages across multiple profiles.
It also integrates AI-powered features for captions, visuals, and posting suggestions to help you maximize reach. Worth a look if you’re lookin’.

Meety
This Mac app lives in your menu bar and syncs two-way with Google Calendar, meaning anything you create or edit on your Mac updates everywhere else instantly.
Meety alerts are much harder to miss than standard calendar notifications, which is ideal if you bounce between deep work and meetings.
You can also join Google Meet calls with a single click, without digging through event details or emails. It stays out of the way until you need it.
Supercut
Supercut is a smarty-pants tool that combines native screen and webcam recording (up to 4K) with auto-editing, automatic chapters, captions, and branding.
You can record, auto-polish, and share videos via public or private links; embed call-to-action buttons; and add custom logos, themes, and layouts.
Chapters and summaries make navigation easier, along with transcripts, document generation, and engagement analytics.

Surgeflow
SurgeFlow is a Chrome browser extension that automates your web tasks using natural language commands.
Describe what you want done in plain English, and it automates repetitive tasks; coordinates across multiple tabs at once; plans, executes, and validates tasks; and speeds up analysis, research, job applications, data collection, etc.
Gridfy
Gridfy turns raw data into interactive widgets you can drop straight onto your website. This is cool if you need dynamic, data-driven elements but can’t manage a rebuild every time something changes.
Connect a live data source like Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets, choose a prebuilt component, customize how it looks and behaves, and then install.
Sparkle
Sparkle simplifies sales outreach by consolidating your cold email, inboxes, CRM, and deliverability platforms into one place.
There’s built-in email verification, deliverability monitoring, and domain health checks. On the outreach side, it supports personalized cold email and multi-channel workflows, along with analytics.
The built-in CRM covers lead management, deal tracking, and pipeline customization without requiring another system.
