TickerNotch

Review Link: https://macsources.com/tickernotch-macos-app-review/ Background of my launch: I trade as a side hustle. I used to keep browser tabs or use paid software (e.g. TradingView) just to check charts and news. I was ending up spending countless hours just staring at charts and falling into news rabbit holes overanalyzing and getting distracted (thanks to my ADHD too). I have a MacBook Pro and noticed some apps taking advantage of the notch (which I never got used to it NGL). So my idea was to build an app from scratch that shows everything I needed to stay up to…

What it does

TickerNotch is a native Swift app that turns your MacBook's notch into a live ticker bar: your watchlist and position P&L on one side, scrolling RSS news headlines on the other, plus price alerts that fire native notifications. Click a ticker to open a candlestick chart with built-in indicators, and run several side by side. Signed, notarized by Apple, auto-updates, no account, no data sharing. 7-day full trial, then free forever (with some limitations); Pro $5/mo or $40 lifetime. macOS 14+.

TickerNotch transforms the MacBook notch into the pulse of everything you follow: markets, weather, system stats and global news. Pin any to the menu bar too.

Live tickers, weather and social counts beside your MacBook notch, with your own news scrolling alongside. Pin any of it to the menu bar. 7-day full trial, then a free version forever. No card required. In the EU? The Mac App Store doesn't carry TickerNotch there; use the direct download. The Pro buttons unlock the direct version. On the App Store version you upgrade in-app. BTC, ETH, SPX, NDX, oil, gas, NVDA, gold, VIX. Live where the source is live, badged "Delayed" where it isn't. Any city: temperature, high and low, feels like, rain chance, rain amount, UV or wind. In °C or °F. Live subscriber and follower counts from YouTube, GitHub, Twitch, Bluesky and Mastodon.

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
