Posting your startup in r/macapps
Yes. r/macapps is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts that lead with a personal problem or frustration the developer experienced, then explain how they built an app to solve it. The tone is conversational and problem-focused, not sales-focused. Developers share their journey and reasoning rather than features.
Self-promotion rules
You need 10 local karma in r/MacApps before posting. Self-promotion is limited to once per app per 30 days, and you must use official distribution channels only (Mac App Store or publisher's own site). If your app is open source, prefix the title with [OS]. Always disclose your relationship to the software in comments.

i built a tool to fix the one thing that annoyed me every day
I spent months using different apps for this workflow, and every single one felt clunky or overcomplicated. So I decided to build something that actually worked the way I wanted it to.
