Fresh Brews: MergeImages and MapPoster Join the Menu

The Pour Over shelf has been waiting on one last app for a week. Today it's here.

MergeImages went live, so Pour Over is now fully stocked with twelve apps and nothing on the waitlist. MapPoster also graduated from Coming Soon into Frappe this week. And Mocha just announced a new arrival: Lungo3D, a native 3D CAD viewer, is coming soon.

MergeImages: collages, ID sheets, and stitched screenshots

MergeImages does exactly what its name says: it merges photos into one file. Drop in a few images and it offers frames that fit how many you have and what shape they are. Two photos get a side-by-side split; nine get a grid or a justified mosaic that crops nothing. Every divider is grabbable, so you pull a line across to give one photo more room, no separate editing mode.

The parts I keep coming back to are the practical ones. Both sides of an ID card land on A4 at exactly 85.6 by 54 mm with crop marks, at 300 DPI. Passport photo sheets repeat 3x4, 4x6, or 3.5x4.5 cm across 10x15 cm or A4 paper with cut lines included. Long screenshots arrive with drop shadows trimmed on the way in, so two captures sit flush, and the app finds the overlap between pairs to stitch a scrolling series into one continuous image.

Everything runs on your Mac. Photos never leave it, and the export strips metadata automatically, so GPS coordinates and camera serials don't ride along with the merged document. Export as PNG, JPEG, or WebP, or hit Cmd+Shift+C to copy the result straight to the clipboard.

MergeImages is $9.99 once, or included in your subscription. Pour Over has been building toward this since the category reshuffle in June, and it now holds twelve live apps.

MapPoster: any city, framed and print-ready

MapPoster turns any place on Earth into a poster you can actually print. Search a city, frame the map, pick a style, and export a 300 DPI PNG, a JPG at your chosen quality, or a true-to-size PDF for a print shop.

Posters are documents here, not one-off canvases. The app opens on a library of everything you've made, each card a live miniature of the real poster. Open one, change the city or the palette, come back next week. Six frame layouts, twenty curated themes, and a live map inside the frame, so what you frame is exactly what prints.

MapPoster is $9.99 once, or included in your subscription. It's the first Frappe app to graduate since Mixpresso, and Frappe now runs nine live apps with nothing left on the waitlist.

Coming soon: Lungo3D

Mocha's creative shelf is adding a technical neighbor. Lungo3D is a native macOS 3D CAD app that opens and models STEP, IGES, BREP, and STL files offline. STEP and IGES files are engineering-grade formats that usually need a cloud converter or a big commercial license; Lungo3D keeps the whole job on your machine, and your drawings stay on your drive.

It joins MokaStudio and VectorStudio on the Mocha waitlist, which means the creative tools category has three more pours on the way.
