macOS · Menu bar experiments
Crazy apps
Pick a utility below — each has its own landing page, story, and disk image. Experimental toys, not production infrastructure.
AppJealousy
Dock apps react when you ignore them. Adjustable jealousy timer, moods, and optional notifications — playful dock drama.

Menu bar battery clarity — charge state, cycles, and health context without diving into System Settings.
BreathBar
Guided breathing in the menu bar — box, 4-7-8, session rings, streaks, optional focus overlay and break reminders.
LangFlip
Typed in the wrong keyboard layout? Triple-tap ⌘ to flip mistyped Arabic ↔ English text in-place — no retyping, clipboard untouched.
Break Alarm
Know how long you've been grinding. Dims every screen, plays a chime, and says your coffee is brewing — so you actually stand up.

TiltDJ
Eight synth pads, stereo pan, 16-step pattern grid, audio import remix, waveform hot cues and voice drops — a groove box for your Mac desktop while you study.
ThermalMap

FocusFlow
Pomodoro timer with ambient soundscapes (rain, cafe, fire, birds, waves). Menu bar app with circular progress, session tracking, and smart break notifications.
Escape
One hotkey and every window flips to VS Code and Terminal in under 100 ms — for the exact moment the manager walks in.
MouseTrailMap
Your mouse becomes art. Rainbow trails draw in real-time as you move, with live stats — points, speed, distance, and click detection. Interactive canvas with a custom cursor glow.
Rise&Open
Launch any Mac app by raising a single finger at your FaceTime camera. Apple Vision framework detects which finger you're holding up — thumb through pinky, each mapped to an app of your choice.
GravityDock
Turn your Dock apps into physics objects that bounce, float, and fly around your desktop. Four real-time modes — Bounce, Float, Gravity, Chaos. Click any flying icon to launch that app instantly.
GhostTouch
Simulates tiny invisible mouse movements and key presses to keep your Mac awake — no sleep, no screensaver, zero CPU impact. 4 modes, adjustable interval, 100% native Swift.

Your Notch, Now Useful. Hover at the notch to unlock 7 tools — Now Playing, Quick Notes, Timer, Calculator, Clipboard history, AI Chat, and live System Stats. Command center in the dead space above your screen.
CursorAge
Leave your mouse idle and watch your cursor grow old — wrinkles, cracks, and a walking cane. Move it again and it snaps back to young. 4 aging stages with animated live demo.
DontForget
Notch reminders for your favorite apps. Track up to 5, set an idle threshold, and a frosted-glass card drops from the notch when one needs you — tap to open or snooze. 100% native Swift, zero permissions.
Desktop Load
Your desktop is a pressure gauge. Live count of files cluttering your Mac desktop with one-click clean — see the load, clear the noise. Self-contained DMG, drag to install.

End-of-day reflections before sleep. Three prompts — smile, drain, tomorrow — in five minutes. Fully offline, local SQLite, with a gentle seven-day streak strip. No cloud, no AI, no noise.
WhisperType
Speak your plan in English or Arabic — Whisper auto-detects, GPT-4o-mini structures it into prioritised steps with time estimates in the same language. Your OpenAI key, your data. Voice-to-action, not another todo app.
