DashPane▲97Built this for macOS because I wanted app switching to feel faster and more flexible than the default Command-Tab flow.

A lot of the changes came from early user feedback. Site: https://www.dashpane.pro/

ExtraBar▲152Hey Hacker News The ones that know me here know that I am a productivity geek. After DockFlow to manage my Dock and ExtraDock, which gives me more space to manage my apps and files, I decided to tackle the macOS big boss: the menu bar. I spend ~40% of my day context-switching between apps — Zoom meetings, Slack channels, Code projects, and Figma designs. My macOS menu bar has too many useless icons I almost never use. So I thought to myself, how can I use this area to improve my workflows? Most solutions (Bartender, Ice) require screen recording permissions, and did not really solve my…
