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.

Pretty Prompt

My first Mac App (built with Glaze!)

I spent last week doing the heavy lifting of building my very first Mac app to see if I could turn an idea into a functional tool for my own workflow.

Even Charlie gave his thumbs up

Took advantage of the @Glaze by Raycast awards to test my building skills!

CodexBar Lite

I'm sitting on a redesigned CodexBar Lite... what would you look for first?

I've just finished a pretty substantial UI refresh for CodexBar Lite and I'm using it myself before shipping it.

The functionality is largely the same. The focus this time wasn't adding features, it was making the app feel more polished while staying true to its original philosophy:

Minimal
Privacy-first
Native macOS

Before I hit release, I'm curious: If you were testing a menu bar app, what's the first thing you'd notice or judge?

Breva 2.0 for Mac is here!

Hey Product Hunt,

I built Breva because I wanted a calmer way to reset during the workday without reaching for my phone or opening a full meditation app.
