I tried using a similar Mac app called Fastlane but couldn't get it to work. Will try this one!

@rrhoover Curious what you think--it's got a lot of improvements over Fastlane! I'm also having some trouble adding @realcasually as the Maker. It seems to work but then when I refresh they are gone. Same issue with Cruise for Lyft. Any idea what could be causing that?

Does this also send notifications to your phone? I can see this sometimes being quicker to use (although my phone is usually right here on my desk) but once I leave my desk and am on the street it's important to have updates on the phone as well for: cancelled rides, updated ETA when they're stuck in traffic, can't find each other

@kristofertm As long as you're signed in to the same Uber account, all the ride info will show on both your phone in the Uber App and in Passenger on your Mac.

sam englund@samenglund · Creative
@forecastbar A smart button. With one click you can order an Uber, Pizza, Toogle lights, etc https://flic.io/

@perrwa I know there's a mobile website but I much prefer clean, native apps for things I do all the time rather than having to launch the browser. This app has a couple advantages over the mobile website: a global customizable keyboard shortcut to bring it up any time, the pickup ETA in my menu bar so I can keep working to the very last second, and full Tou… See more

Thank you @wowthatisrandom for the hunt! I realized I spend so much time on my Mac that finding my phone is pretty much the worst part of having to order an Uber. I know there's a mobile website but I much prefer clean, native apps for things I do commonly. Since I normally work on the weather app Forecast Bar (a menu bar app for Mac), I had a lot of pieces … See more

@wowthatisrandom Why? The whole point of Uber is to use the same app all over the world. Why not your app? It's not even available in the French AppStore :-(

@denis_florent_cheyrouze There will be support for more countries in the future
