Howdy, gang; After almost two weeks of sitting in Apple's approval queue, my new app Timebar is finally available. I think it has a pretty innovative UI feature, so I wanted to float it by Hacker News. It's a timer app that turns your Mac's menu bar into a sort of virtual hourglass.

LookAway 2▲281Hello, I'm Kushagra and I am the indie developer behind LookAway (I've posted about it earlier but it has received quite a lot of updates since the last time so I am posting it again).

It's very easy for me to get lost in the flow and I can end up sitting for hours. Due to this, I started facing issues like eye strain and back pain by the end of the day.

Corner Time▲106Have 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…

Started as a timer to track my freelance coding hours and stay focused. It’s local-only, zero-login, minimalist. Not monetizing it (yet), just seeing if others find it helpful. Thoughts welcome.
