Building Orcylo for Mac

About

I'm a solo indie developer building native macOS apps. Right now I'm working on Orcylo (orcylo.app), a menu bar app that keeps your Mac's vitals in view without getting in the way. I care about small, fast, well-crafted software: native Swift, no Electron, no bloat. I build in public and share what I learn along the way. Always happy to swap feedback with other makers. Say hi on X!
