Maik Klotz's profile on Product Hunt

About

I’m Maik Klotz, a German fintech and payments nerd and LinkedIn Top Voice who built simplebanking to give people a clearer, calmer view of their money. Directly from the Mac menu bar, powered by secure European open banking infrastructure (YAXI) With simplebanking I turn messy banking data into a minimalist experience: no new account, no extra portal, just live balance, transactions, spending heatmaps and subscription insights where you already work – on your desktop. I deliberately design against feature bloat: most banking apps want you to do more, I want you to actually realize what comes in, what goes out, and what stays.

RetroMac - Turn your Mac into a time machine.

RetroMac wraps your everyday macOS in the look and feel of classic computers: authentic CRT shaders over your whole screen, themed docks and desktops (Mac OS 9, Windows XP/98, BeOS, Amiga…), retro widgets and games, and a virtual webcam that pipes the CRT look into Zoom, Meet or Teams. Open source, free to use with an optional one-time upgrade for extra presets and webcam support.
