Hi everyone! I just shipped a new version of OpenFolder, my lightweight launcher for folders, files, and apps on macOS. Here s a quick summary of what s new and what the app does now:

What OpenFolder Does

• Lets you pin folders, files, volumes, and apps into a clean menu bar launcher.

• Opens anything in one click without digging through Finder.

• Supports drag-and-drop to add, reorder, or repair items.

• Includes Recent Items, so you can quickly reopen things you used recently.

• Optional launch at login for people who rely on it daily.

It s designed for creators, developers, and anyone working across multiple projects.

TechCrunch shared an excerpt from a roughly 30-minute panel featuring Sam Altman, where he mentioned that within the next two years, they plan to introduce hardware built by their AI company.

It s supposed to be:
"screenless" and pocket-sized
offering a calmer experience than smartphones

avoiding constant notifications and attention overload
