What it does

Think beyond the keyboard, trackpad, and mouse: choclift is the third interface for interacting with your Mac. It turns your iPhone into a customizable chocolate bar that lets you instantly switch between favorite and recent Mac apps, trigger Apple Shortcuts without any detours, and use website bookmarks like never before. With a strong focus on product design and user experience, we're just getting started on building the quickest and sweetest way to work with your Mac.

Use your iPhone to access apps, Shortcuts, websites and emojis on your Mac. choclift is a productivity app for faster workflows and seamless cross-device control, available now for iOS, visionOS and macOS.

After the keyboard and trackpad redefined how we interact with computers, it’s time for the next step: meet choclift on iPhone and iPad, the third interface in your Mac setup, designed to lift your productivity to a whole new level. Built on everything we learned from choclift for iPhone, the iPad version was designed from the ground up for the bigger screen. It’s fully resizable, brings more actions and features into view, and lets you connect multiple devices at once. It’s the most complete choclift experience we’ve ever made. Launch and switch between Mac apps instantly from your iPhone with up to 8 customizable pages. Add shortcuts, customize them with emojis and trigger them directly…from choclift.com

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
