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. Your menu bar starts out tinted blue (or whatever colour you pick) and it slowly drains from right-to-left until your time is up. It works very well for situations where you want to keep track of time, but don't need to be super precise. The menu bar is easy to glance up at, and it doesn't take long to happen…

I bought a new Macbook a few months ago and I found myself hitting the Touch Bar accidentally pretty often. After some frustrations, I made an app to turn it off at will. I found it so convenient I decided to add extra features (auto launch, auto update, ...) and release it for others to use. It would be really great to hear what you guys think so please feel free to share any feedback. Also use the coupon code HNHMB10 to get 50% off for a limited time. I hope it will be as useful to you as it is to me! Website : https://hidemybar.clemstation.com/
