Babe, why?! - A macOS app that lives in the notch that nags and roasts you

A macOS menu-bar app that roasts you in a partner's voice when you open distracting apps like ChatGPT or Spotify. The app lives out of your notch with a pretty cool animation if I must say so. One-time $9.99 purchase, no subscription. Coupon code gives you 50% off. First 50 users only. Only download if you feel like you need a few laughs. Or if your partner doesn't roast you enough.

Mixtape - Share playlists with personal notes and cassette cover art

Playlists are links. Mixtapes are gifts. Mixtape lets you build a playlist from Apple Music, write personal liner notes, and generate cassette cover art. Then share it with someone who matters. For anyone who remembers what it felt like to hand someone a tape you made just for them.
