Introducing Octavo, my Mac app for turning PDFs into booklets, cleaning up bad scans, printing zines, labels, and more.
If you follow me, you may have seen my #BuildInPublic journey developing it over the last few months! It's now launched, and is available on the Mac App Store for $25 (via in app purchase so you can try before you buy).

@amyworrall Heck yeah, this is awesome and I already have a project this'll be great for.
I do appreciate that it's not a subscription too, even though I know that's a big draw for us indies. Instabought!
@ikenndac awesome! Let me know if you have any feature requests!
I didn't think I'd have much luck with a subscription for something this niche -- with a one-off, I might get people buying it just for a single project and saying to themselves "it'll probably be useful later”.
But choosing a business model is hard, I dunno if I've made the right call :)
@amyworrall Will do!
Heck if I know about business models. I added a subscription option to my app a while ago, marketed as a lower-cost entrypoint to try the app out (our one-off is $99 with periodic paid major feature updates). A decent number of people take it, but the non-subscription is decently popular.
