Hey everyone! 👋 I’m the maker of TrayPong — a tiny version of Pong that lives in your macOS menu bar. I built this because I wanted something instant—no app switching, no friction. Just click, play for a minute, and get back to work. A couple fun details: The music is fully procedural (built with Web Audio API — no audio files!) The AI adapts as your rally grows It runs at 60fps with little visual touches like trails + screen shake Record your score on a leaderboard Would love your feedback—especially on how it feels to jump in/out quickly. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

Because of the new macOS updates like "Tahoe," apps may revert to an older state, trigger security warnings as "damaged," or show as not signed by a verified developer. This is usually due to Apple’s tightened Gatekeeper security requirements in new macOS versions, which can misinterpret older app states or invalid signatures as corrupted or unsafe, requiring the app to be moved to the Trash. To bypass this, you may need to Remove the Quarantine Attribute: Open Terminal and use the following command to tell macOS to trust the app with 👉🏻 xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TrayPong.app
