 Autonomous (auto mode) — no confirmation gate. One themed bundle this run: the backlog was cleared by the 07-09 cluster run (unbundled shortlisted pool now well under the ~25 threshold) and the last week's-catch was 07-05 (next due ~07-12, and one already exists inside the trailing-7-day window), so a single tight themed bundle rather than a cluster or weekly catch. Chose the tightest honest cluster in today's shortlist — three Mac utilities bound by a real through-line: each takes control of a UI surface the software normally gives you none over (WidgetScreen fills the blank lock screen, Debloat Slack strips the native Slack chrome you can't otherwise theme, NanoClip turns the clipboard into a workspace). NanoClip wasn't shortlisted (clipboard saturation) but is the cleanest third leg of this specific theme, so it's included — shortlist rank gates the shortlist, not bundle membership. Held nothing back for review from this bundle because this run's reviews graduate the two candidates held over from 07-09 (recall, picview), not today's fresh crop.
 
 Deliberately left unbundled for the ~07-12 week's catch or a later themed bundle: today's other shortlisted finds — lectrofan-alpha-noise-machine, do-your-whisky-whiskey-making-kit (physical, no honest 3-item cluster with anything else today), quentin-blake-centre-illustration and grand-view-park-turtle-hill (two travel spots — too few for a bundle), maptap and odyssey-1911-film (a geo-game + a silent film; web-toy angle was just used by the 07-07 "open a tab"), plus randofont (heroless) and the five dad jokes. Not padded into a bundle to force coverage, per the skill. Distinct theme from the 07-07/07-08/07-09 Mac bundles (window management, "what the Mac hides", "nothing slips past", "controls in the furniture") — the through-line here is customizing a surface the vendor locked, not hiding/revealing.

+## 2026-07-10 — review: recall-work-session-memory
+
+Graduated from find captured on 2026-07-09 (source: r/macapps) — one of the two review candidates held out of the 07-09 cluster run specifically for this treatment.
+Hero: joinrecall.com "Today" dashboard screenshot (1920×1290 webp, native window chrome, no overlay text) — a richer asset than the find's OG-card hero.
+Category: focus (new — no prior focus/attention-tools category existed; closest neighbors were "planning" and "interface").
+Fact-check (mandatory, against joinrecall.com's own site + App Store + privacy page): PASSES the bar but the find had **two real errors, both corrected in the review and in the find body**. (1) Pricing: the find called it a one-time purchase — it is actually a subscription ($20/mo, or $9/mo billed annually); the only pay-once path is a time-limited third-party AppSumo "lifetime" promo (~$49), not the core model. (2) Capture scope: the find implied it groups your "messages" — the site is explicit that it captures app/window/tab *titles* and switch events, never message/email *content*, keystrokes, or screenshots. Also surfaced and stated: it's Apple Silicon-only (no Intel), still self-labeled "Beta," and some optional AI features can call a cloud LLM if you supply your own API key. Confirmed it is the correct app and not the namesakes getrecall.ai (a summarizer) or Windows Recall. Testimonials on-site are unverified marketing copy — not repeated as sourced praise.

+## 2026-07-10 — review: picview-image-viewer
+
+Graduated from find captured on 2026-07-09 (source: r/macapps) — the second held-over review candidate from the 07-09 cluster run.
+Hero: picview.chitaner.com landing-page carousel screenshot (1360×883 jpg, filmstrip + EXIF panel + slideshow menu, no overlay text). Chosen over the six official App Store screenshots because all of those carry marketing-caption text.
+Category: images (new — nearest existing were "files" and "screenshots", neither a clean fit for a general image viewer).
+Fact-check (mandatory, against picview.chitaner.com + App Store listing): PASSES; the find held up on every core claim — arrow-key nav, scroll-wheel zoom, always-on-top "Pin & Paste" windows, 30+ formats including camera RAW, and select-and-copy OCR are all confirmed, and the $12.99 lifetime Pro price is an exact match. Two things added in the review that the find omitted: OCR requires macOS 13+ and object/subject extraction requires macOS 14+ (both above the app's stated minimum of macOS 11.5/12.0, so older-but-supported Macs won't see the marquee feature), and there's a $4.99/year Pro option alongside the lifetime unlock. Distributed via both the Mac App Store and a direct download whose licenses don't transfer between channels; no account required. Actively maintained — v1.5.7 shipped 2026-07-08, two days before capture.
