Dropbox
Beautiful interface. Dropbox Paper provides a peaceful environment for writing and supports Markdown; I find it so pleasant to use that I don't miss Ulysses.

What's great

Grammarly
Congratulations on adding GrammarlyGO; it's a game-changer and adds significant value when compared with similar apps :) Just one thing to point out: we are missing languages. I know that English accounts for nearly 59 percent of web content, but Spanish speakers need you as well.

Raindrop.io
It does what it says, which is always appreciated. However, it's time to include some AI functionality (text recognition, auto-tags, even color palette generation…). Bookmarking is the easiest part, but trying to find what you saved a week before can be challenging, and tagging/classifying everything manually is draining.

mymind.com
Hey, guys! I have been using mymind for a few months. The AI capabilities are impressive, I love how natural it feels to search and find exactly what I need in seconds. I'm currently testing another app that aims to do something similar, but it's not there at all. There are two main reasons I haven't upgraded to the pro plan: 1) I understand and appreciate that the focus is on privacy, but I need to permanently share my Spaces, which is not possible right now; 2) The interface is only available in English (Spanish needed). Hopefully, these aspects will improve over time. I'll be waiting :)

LanguageTool
Hey, guys! I have been a LanguageTool premium user for more than 3 years now. The app has improved and the AI paraphrasing was a great add-on. However, when I compare LanguageTool with Grammarly (and I really have to compare here), Grammarly outperforms in styling and consistency, even though I'm on the free account. Also, the extension works smoother in both Safari and Chrome-based browsers, even when using their new AI assistant, which offers more than paraphrasing. I would love to see LanguageTool keep it up, especially because it supports way more languages than Grammarly and I have been using it for so long.
Setapp
I have been a macOS user for years, and I have lost the track of all the apps I have tested (both free and premium accounts). Setapp is the only platform that gives you access to so many apps with one single subscription that can actually pay itself. I can't say that I use all apps in your catalog, but there are some “big names” there that would be pricier when paying for them separately in a monthly basis. I'm glad to see that you're keeping it up and consistently adding more apps! Hopefully, I will see more emphasis in generative AI apps and design tools.

Playground AI
I like how accessible you've made text to image generation by adding a proper front-end to Stable Diffusion, yet preserving advanced features (such as exclusions, seeds, and models). I'm looking forward for improvements in the redimensioning though, it's still limited. It would be great to have a built-in tool with customized redimension. Also, it seems like the platform is Canvas–oriented, but there's no upscale in Canvas yet.

Limitless
Well, you guys are building up something interesting here! Just tried the “Ask Rewind” feature and got an extensive reply of where is the recycling station I was looking for, based on a screenshot I took inside Google Lens. The app was able to point out that I was using Google Lens to translate from Thai to English, and reminded me of the types of plastics that are accepted at the recycling station. Now, any plans of including photos as well? If I can ask Rewind: “What is the name of the florist where I bought roses for my girlfriend?” —assuming that there is a photo that shows the facade and that I'm giving permission to check the metadata— well, that would be a game changer.

Arc
I've tried several browsers. I'm an early adopter, so every time I see new software, I just have to play around with it. Arc is getting better and better at providing reduced visual noise, a simpler/more efficient browsing experience, and even the chance to customize websites, which includes just hiding those elements you would rather not see. Guys, this can be so helpful for people with attention deficit or if you're just exhausted of visual over stimulation. Arc is a reminder that the future of the Internet and tech in general is user-centered. Generic is staying behind. Good work!
Endel
Endel has been a game-changer for me. I was having trouble sleeping, and now I can see the difference, not just in how long my sleep lasts, but also how much time I spend in deep sleep. This is a great example of how AI and biomonitoring can improve our life quality!

Raycast
So far, so good! I love Raycast, it's the ultimate add-on for any Mac. Regarding Raycast AI, any plans to integrate it with our day-to-day browser? It would be great if we can give it some context with a few clicks instead of copy-paste a whole website. Omnipresent Raycast AI… How sweet does that sound.
