   Pie Menu – a radial menu for macOS▲309

   Hi everyone! I'm Marius Hauken, an indie developer, and I'm excited to share my app: Pie Menu. It offers a fresh way to access your favorite menu bar commands and keyboard shortcuts on macOS. By simply pressing a hotkey you choose during setup, a radial menu appears around your cursor, customized to the current active application. This allows you to quickly select commands without having to remember complex shortcuts across different applications.

   A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings▲126

   While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal/insert/visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd/yy/p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works. It supports CSV/TSV import and export, and a native .cell format that preserves formulas. The formula engine handles SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and IF with range references. The codebase is a Cargo workspace: a pure cell-sheet-core library (no TUI dependency) and a cell-sheet-tui crate on top of ratatui. Early days, but it's usable. To…

    Corner Time▲106

    Have you ever wished you could see the time while coding or watching videos in fullscreen or when your menu bar is hidden? Corner Time is a minimalist macOS app designed for those who value a clean desktop but still want the clock to be always visible. Unlike other widgets or solutions, Corner Time sits unobtrusively in the corner of your screen as if it were a native part of macOS—even when you’re in fullscreen mode or using auto-hide for your menu bar. The app is highly customizable: you can choose your preferred date format, adjust the style, match your system language, and use it…

    Chunk▲298

    Hi HN Dudley here, tech lead on Chunk. Chunk is a macOS menu bar app for time-blocking. It opens with Cmd + / and slides down over whatever you're doing - including fullscreen apps. There's also a live countdown in the tray for the current block. Click-and-drag to create blocks, day/week views, Google/Outlook/Apple Calendar sync, Apple Reminders integration, and a Todo mode where tasks can be dragged onto the timeline. Templates and Routines let you build an ideal day once and auto-apply it on chosen weekdays. There's a local MCP server, so you can ask Claude Desktop to…
