Glint is a lightweight macOS menu-bar app that surfaces what your Claude Code sessions are doing - live status, the current tool, token spend, the plan, subagents, usage meters, and context window - in a glanceable island near your notch, a floating pill, or beside the Dock. Reads ~/.claude locally; your session data never leaves your Mac. Support for other providers like Codex, Kiro and etc are on the roadmap to be release ASAP!

Stash is a hidden side pocket for your Mac Dock, built for the apps you use often enough to keep close, but not often enough to leave permanently visible.

Stash runs quietly from the menu bar, includes a 24-hour free trial, and is built for macOS Tahoe.
Fonty Menu Bar is a Mac app that makes finding and installing Google Fonts faster.

It is lightweight, fast, and built to stay out of the way.
The default clock got boring. Keep transforms your iPhone and Mac into beautiful 3D ambient clock displays. Use it as a StandBy-style charging display on iPhone with Apple's built-in Shortcuts automation, or replace static screensavers on Mac with animated ambient clocks. Featuring holographic, glass, jelly, wireframe, matrix and morphing liquid-inspired themes designed to become part of your setup.
Let your notch eat no more! ChocolateBar is a native Mac app that adds a row under your menu bar for icons hidden by the MacBook notch. As you add menubar applications like claude usage notifiers, trackers, productivity apps, the notch starts to eat up menu bar items... and at some point macOS just gives up and shoves icons behind the notch where you can't even click them. Others tries to addresses this by hiding icons. I decided to create an additional bar to show you your menubar items!
The ultimate macOS mute manager is back. Toggle your mic across Zoom, Meet, and Slack instantly using a global shortcut, menu bar icon, or a simple squeeze of your AirPods. Now faster, lighter, and packed with AppleScript support.

AccountyCat is a focus companion for macOS that reads context instead of blocking lists. It sits in your menu bar, sees your active app and window title (and a screenshot only when needed), then quietly nudges when you drift. Sometimes YouTube is procrastination, sometimes it's the tutorial — AC tells the difference. Runs fully on-device with Qwen via llama.cpp, or with your own OpenRouter key. Open source, auditable, private. Interrupting legitimate work is treated as a bug.

No signup, no subscription, no ads, no data collected - ever. Everything stays local on your Mac. Free for life.
Autocomplete :emoji: everywhere on macOS. Type a colon and search any emoji, symbol, or shortcode in seconds — in TextEdit, iMessage, Terminal, anywhere. Slack and a few other apps have this — type :heart: and you get ❤️. It makes finding emoji easy. I wanted it everywhere on my Mac, so I built Mojito. It works just like you'd expect, and it's smart enough to ignore apps and sites that already support it. And it's free, open-source donationware.
