Product Hunt

What's in your dock?

I was recently reminded of @Dockhunt and how fun it was to see what kinds of apps different folks kept in their dock. I remember it being a cool way to discover some new products I hadn't seen before. I'm also just a big fan of desktop apps over web apps. I find it a lot easier to stay focused when I'm flipping between apps vs flipping between tabs.

These are the apps in my dock:

@Google Chrome - Pretty basic. I've really been considering switching over to @Horse though.
@Slack - The de facto option.
@Superhuman - Maybe the fastest I've become a fan of a product. I think I was pushing it on others within a few hours.
@Notion - Great for documentation and collaborating. I also use it personally for tracking books I read and video games I play, along with tracking personal projects.
Notion Calendar - The menu bar aspect of this is really what sold me. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of my meetings every day.
@Linear - We just recently switched over to Linear here at @Product Hunt and I've been loving it. Pro tip: if you prefer the desktop app, there's a setting to open links in the app, but you can only set that option through the web version.
@iTerm2 - I've tried others, but this is my favorite. This + @Neovim is just
@Claude by Anthropic - This has been my LLM of choice for a while, and I really like having it as a desktop app. Especially the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring it up and ask something.
@Tandem - Super easy to stay in touch and sync with teammates. Incredibly useful for a remote team.
@Spotify - I typically have a YouTube video on in the background, but if I'm writing or doing something more focused, I'll typically have some kind of Jazz going.

Pulse Island

I turned the MacBook notch into a Dynamic Island

Every MacBook since 2021 has a notch, and on macOS it does absolutely nothing. On iPhone, the same cutout became the most useful strip on the screen.

That gap bothered me, so I built Pulse Island, a native macOS app that turns the notch into a live, interactive island.

PopTask - AI Powered Menu Bar To-do List

my mac app didn't open at all for 4 months and i had no idea

there's no changelog for PopTask anywhere, the app store "what's new" box is read by roughly nobody, so from now on every update lands in this thread, small ones as replies, bigger ones as their own post
