Hey Product Hunt — I built Tock after Apple deprecated their native menu bar timer. macOS used to support a Spotlight-launched timer that lived in the menu bar. It was obscure and limited, but it worked. In macOS 26.2, the menu bar feedback was removed, leaving no visible confirmation unless you opened Clock. I looked for third-party replacements. Many were either too minimal (purely tactile...

Tock is a lightweight macOS menu bar timer built for keyboard-first workflows. It lives in the menu bar, supports natural-language time entry, and intentionally limits you to a single active timer. No dashboards, queues, or upsells. Tock uses macOS system colors, adapting to light and dark mode and modern system materials like Liquid Glass. It is free and open source, with configurable shortcuts, tones, notifications, and interface details like button size and brightness.

Hi everyone! The Tint & Shade Generator is back with some great new features. As always, it generates precise tints and shades based on any hex color(s) you input. We take the math seriously so these should consistently match the output of Sass and PostCSS tints and shades. It's great for devs and others who want to take the guess work out of color handling. In addition to that base...

Accurately produce tints (lighter variants) and shades (darker variants) of a given hex color in 10% increments.

It's best used when you already have a base color palette but would like some complimentary colors for gradients, borders, backgrounds, shadows or other elements. Simple, precise, and open source.

I know there are a lot of color tools out there, but it always seems to me like they don't get the calculations right, or they do much more than I need. In contrast, the Tint and Shade Generator has a bulletproof calculation (https://github.com/edelstone/tints-and-shades#calculation-method), and just displays tints and shades in 10% increments. No exports or extra dials. Output matches Sass...

Hey all, Lately we've been tweaking the brand and product colors at my company, Kuali, with a focus on depth and accessibility. We admired the pre-programmed palettes Google offers in their theme editors and frameworks, but we already had some base colors that we liked – we just wanted to build palettes around them the way Google does. It turns out that it isn't easy to find a web app that does...

Google's official palette generator is buried deep within the Material docs, and is hidden from search engines, making it difficult to discover.

To make it a little easier to use, Kuali forked it and added some minor improvements. We did not change the way colors are derived.

Now there's a proper app you can bookmark. Enjoy!
