"Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie
Post one of your favorite relaxing songs.
After we finish our Thanksgiving meal, my family has a tradition dating back to my childhood. We all gather in the living room and listen Alice's Restaurant, the story of Arlo Guthrie's arrest for littering in a Massachusetts small town in the late 1960's.

I’m always impressed when an out-of-the-box thinker builds an app unlike anything I’ve seen before. Iterating on proven concepts is fine, but after testing enough clipboard managers and voice-to-text apps, they all start to blur together. Give me something new, clever, and useful, and I’ll happily change my workflow to make room for it. a year ago, DoubleMemory caught my attention with its interesting feature set and it's done nothing but improve since then.
I sometimes worry that one day my brain will run out of capacity for new hotkey combinations. When that happens, any app that relies on them will be off the table. DoubleMemory neatly sidesteps that problem by baking the instruction directly into its name.
Press ⌘C twice quickly, and the app captures either the webpage you’re on or the text you’ve highlighted. It then drops that content into an aesthetically well-designed, searchable, Pinterest-like interface with some surprisingly useful capabilities.
There’s a setting that allows DoubleMemory to save everything you copy, but I’d advise against leaving that on all the time. It’s not a clipboard manager in the sense that Raycast or PastePal are. For example, it doesn’t capture images.
Where it shines is with URLs. Highlight the URL of any webpage you’re on and press ⌘C twice. DoubleMemory downloads the page content and stores it locally, making it as much a read-it-later tool as a bookmark manager. In practice, it works well as either.
Saved content can sync via iCloud, which means your collection is accessible on your iPhone, iPad, and other Macs.
DoubleMemory also doubles as a lightweight notes tool. Highlight a passage of text anywhere, press ⌘C twice, and it’s saved to your board. From there you can add your own commentary and organize the entry with tags. There’s even optional AI-powered auto-tagging if you want help categorizing things.
One detail I appreciate: DoubleMemory doesn’t require an account, and you don’t need to install a browser extension. If you routinely save URLs from different sources on a specific topic, you quickly end up with a clean, searchable database that works offline.
It’s also refreshingly lightweight. The app uses roughly 10 MB of RAM during normal use. For automation fans, it supports Apple Shortcuts, the macOS share sheet, and drag-and-drop to the Dock (if you enable the Dock icon).
DoubleMemory has a lot going for it. It’s easy to understand, genuinely useful in daily workflows, and feature-rich without feeling bloated.

"Long Black Veil" by Johnny Cash
Post one of your favorite songs that has the name of a color in the title
The Man in Black does a solid version of this sing-along classic. Other worthy versions include performances by The Band and by Mick Jagger with the Chieftains. "Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, a man was killed 'neath the town hall light."

I posted my 500th app review this week. If you keep typing long enough, this is what happens. It makes me super happy and I hope I have helped some of you find apps that you've grown to use and love. If I have, please leave a comment, it will be motivating and appreciated. I want to give a shout out to r/MacApps for all the support and feedback I've gotten there. I also want to thank Scribbles, the blogging platform I've used the entire time.
I recently added a way for developers to alert me to their apps. If you know anyone who has an app that could use some exposure, please let them know they can request a review here.
AppAddict is just me, one old guy with a laptop and a decades old predilection for clicking the download button on just about every app I see. This is my hobby, not a side job. I do it because I enjoy it. I can't tell you how thrilling it's been to interact with developers of some of my favorite apps. I still have a big streak of fanboy.

"With a Little Help From My Friends" by The Beatles
Some albums have a good opening track, but the 2nd track is totally killer. What's your favorite 2nd track song?
This was an easy one. I also love Joe Cocker's version (Who doesn't? I will fight you) Lennon/McCartney wrote this especially for Ringo in an octave he could sing it in.

"Somebody to Love" by Queen
Share a track by your favorite vocalist of all-time.
I don't think anybody else has ever had the chops Freddie Mercury had. His is THE VOICE.
