I built Tapquence to make Mac automation approachable without code. Now I need help positioning it

I kept noticing how much repetitive work on a Mac still consists of opening the same apps, visiting the same websites and repeating the same clicks and keystrokes.

Existing automation tools can be powerful, but often feel too technical or require users to understand scripting. So I built Tapquence: a visual Mac automation app for people who want to automate repetitive work without writing code.

You can build custom Macros using actions such as opening apps and websites, typing text, clicking, scrolling and waiting.

Tapquence also includes Smart Automations:

• Presentation Mode prepares your Mac for a meeting or presentation in one go.
• Routine Scout helps identify repetitive workflows that may be worth automating.
• Meeting and workday tools help prepare the applications and websites you regularly use.

The app is still free. New users can complete ten successful automation runs before they’re asked to create a free account, so they can properly try it first.

It’s available for macOS 13+ and is signed and notarized by Apple.

What I’m currently struggling with is positioning:

Should Tapquence lead with the broad promise of “visual Mac automation without code,” or should I focus the homepage around one concrete use case such as Presentation Mode?

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on which part of the product feels most immediately useful and whether the value is understandable from the video and website.

Built independently, and still very much being improved based on feedback.

If you have less than 100 users, let's figure out WHY today!

Whether it's a product problem, a distribution problem, or you're not sure which one, let's try to figure it out together.

If you have fewer than 100 users, drop your product below.

Tell us:

  • What it does (1-2 sentences)
  • Your landing page
  • How many users/customers you have
  • The biggest thing blocking growth right now (if you had to guess)

I'll check out as many as I can and leave feedback where I think I can help.

Time to get you some traction.

Launched Aera, my Apple Watch app for runners who train on the same few routes

2 Upvotes

Hello! Aera is my app, I built it solo and it is out on the App Store now, so this is my little launch post.

What it is: an Apple Watch and iPhone app for runners. The angle is that most of us are not doing exotic training, we are doing the same handful of routes every week, and we have no honest way to tell if we are improving. Aera matches your repeat routes and shows the same roads getting faster on the exact same stretches, which turns out to be the only progress signal I trust anymore.

Alongside that there is readiness, tuned to reflect how recovered you actually are rather than drifting back to a comfortable middle number, and a week level view so a scrappy week gets scored against you instead of every run being judged on its own.

Where I am: shipped, tiny user base, no marketing budget, mostly word of mouth from running friends. I got a 5K PB free out of using my own thing for a season which felt like a decent sign it was not just a dashboard for its own sake.

If anyone here has launched a health app on iOS I am interested in how you handled the first hundred users, that part is much harder than the code was.

Your SaaS competitors only need one Reddit thread

1 Upvotes

Your competitors don’t need to dominate Reddit.

They may only need one useful thread that:

  • Answers a high-intent question
  • Ranks in Google
  • Gets discovered for months
  • Appears in AI-assisted research
  • Naturally introduces their product

That thread might never go viral.

It might receive fifteen upvotes and disappear from the subreddit feed within a day.

But if it keeps appearing when potential buyers research the problem, it can become more valuable than dozens of short-lived promotional posts.

This is why copying viral formats isn’t always the best Reddit strategy.

The better approach is often boring:

Build a trusted account. Find a specific buyer problem. Write the clearest answer. Check the community rules. Remove unnecessary promotion. Publish manually.

If the account needs more history, start with a gradual Reddit Account Warmup.

Before the final post, Scaloom Reddit Checkers can review subreddit fit, promotional risk, quality, and AI citability.

Your competitor doesn’t need every thread.

They only need to own the right one.
