    DashPane▲97

    Built 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/

    1Setter▲108

    Hi HN, I’m an indie developer and I recently built 1Setter, a macOS menu bar app that lets you quickly access and apply common system settings with a single click. It supports individual actions as well as grouped actions, so you can trigger multiple settings in one step if needed.
