Polar Bear Helps

Reduce phone overuse and support people with disabilities.

What it does

Polar Bear Helps doesn’t block apps or punish behavior. It uses a green monochromatic filter that reduces interface intensity and removes addictive patterns. It supports people with sensory disabilities and gives everyone a calmer, distraction‑proof interface — your superpower for using your phone without being pulled into overstimulating design.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481
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). Happy to discuss any questions here!
