Launched my macOS app yesterday — today it’s already on the App Store charts!
Yesterday I finally launched my macOS app [Imprint] on the App Store.
This morning I woke up and saw it had already climbed to #128 in the Photography & Video category.
Honestly, I built this tool just to solve my own pain — I often had to watermark hundreds of images manually, which was super slow and frustrating.
The Problem
Manually adding watermarks one by one in Photoshop was eating hours of my time.
Online tools were either too slow, compressed the images, or required uploading to a server (not great for unreleased product shots).
What I Built
Imprint is a simple on-device image privacy toolkit for macOS that:
- Batch adds text/logo watermarks to entire folders
- Keeps watermark position and size consistent across mixed aspect ratios
- Optionally embeds invisible watermarks for tracking
- Processes ~1,000 4K photos in under a minute (on Apple Silicon)
Everything runs locally — no uploads, no servers.
Early Results
I launched yesterday and was surprised to see it on the App Store charts this morning.
This might be my first tiny step toward validating the idea — maybe there’s a real demand for this kind of workflow.
Looking for Feedback
I'd love feedback from other makers/photographers/sellers:
- Do you watermark all your images, or just some of them?
- Would invisible watermarks be useful to you?
- Any features you'd want in a batch watermarking tool?

Thanks for reading! I'll be around all day to answer questions and collect suggestions.
