 Coverage: 39 finds placed (8 of today's 10 non-review shortlisted captures + strong recent backlog). Deliberately left for reviews (reachable from the homepage without a bundle): say-hey-message-memory, fidelia-audiophile-player. Uncovered finds that will wait for the next weekly catch (~07-12) or a future themed bundle: today's coast-fire-tracker, command-keeper, anymoney-auto-expense, orzma-webview-terminal, love-is-art-body-paint-kit, whitcomb-shaftesbury-washable-jacket, and the three new quotes (quote-boulding-got-that-way, quote-thich-nhat-hanh-deep-listening, quote-tokarczuk-tenderness) — plus the older June backlog (not re-clustered; those had their chance in prior runs). Not padded to force coverage, per skill.

+Hero: pulled a real App Store feature screenshot (`01-hero.png`, 1280×800) showing the "Today" list UI — richer than the find's own hero (same-source screenshot).
+Category: messaging (new — no existing category fit an iMessage-mining relationship/follow-up app; should recur for messaging/contact tools).
+Fact-check (App Store listing, developer Spark LLC): the find held up but undersold it. It's not just "people you've drifted from" — the app tracks six signal types (promises made, questions left on read, debts owed, dated plans, birthdays/anniversaries, and people gone quiet), plus a natural-language query box that answers with tappable citations back to the thread, a menu-bar quick view, and an "inner circle." On-device claim confirmed by store copy ("messages never leave your Mac… even the AI runs locally"); corrected the review to state the privacy precisely — the app's privacy label is "Data Not Linked to You / Diagnostics," so it's "only anonymous diagnostics," not literally zero collection. Dropped the find's unverified "no Full Disk Access" claim from both the review and the find (store never mentions permissions). Corrected commercial facts: $19.99 one-time, Mac-only macOS 14+, Productivity category. Flagged the real limitation honestly: brand-new, version 0.0.2 (~2 weeks old), pre-1.0, 0 user reviews — an early bet, not a proven tool. Also lightly corrected the find's frontmatter/body to drop the FDA claim.

+Hero: App Store carousel screenshot (`fidelia-shot1-v8.png`, 1200×750) showing the skeuomorphic player, three loaded Audio Units, the library, and the Fidelia Remote companion — better than the maker site's stylized marketing image.
+Category: music (existing).
+Fact-check (maker site audiofile.engineering + App Store id416135376): confirmed bit-perfect/exclusive-mode playback, three out-of-process Audio Unit slots in the listening path, "HeadSpace" headphone crossfeed, and precise signal controls (Reference SRC, 9th-order Pro Dither). Two corrections to the find: (1) "shipped fresh this month" is wrong — the ground-up rewrite (Fidelia 2.0, new C++ engine) relaunched April 2026; what landed this week (v2.9.7, Jul 6) was an incremental internet-radio update plus the TidBITS coverage. (2) "new ownership" is old news — Patrick Krekelberg acquired Audiofile Engineering in 2017. Pricing corrected/tightened: free download + 14-day trial, then a one-time $49.99 "Full License" IAP (rising to $69.99 soon), Mac App Store only; macOS 14+. Noted the honest caveat that Fidelia 1 owners don't get a free upgrade. Repointed the review's canonical link from the TidBITS article to the App Store listing. Not vaporware — actively shipping/supported.
