  This looks cool enough, but it’s starting to drive me crazy how people are in such a rush to put out their macOS apps they can’t be bothered to get a developer account and run a one line command. It’s not hard.I used to be sympathetic to complaints about not wanting to pay the developer account fee. But when you’re vibe coding, you’re probably paying a good chunk of change to your LLM supplier of choice every month, and the yearly developer account fee seems minor in comparisonAlso, it’s just such a bad security precedent. This page describes the error you get as “the typical macOS Gatekeeper warning”, as though it were just another piece of corporate silliness, like clicking through a EULA.

  Interestingly to me this is what raycast actually is for me now. Most of my common workflows are just raycast keybinds now or quickly typed in.An example is I have my airpods bound to ctrl+alt+b to connect via Bluetooth. This is to have it yank back control from my android phone.

  A similar app in this space that I discovered recently is Supercharge.https://sindresorhus.com/superchargeI was skeptical that I’d find it useful since I can do all of these shell commands and such, but one feature I like is being able to effectively pare the feature set down to just what you need, making for a small but very useful menu.

  Nice, but, and this is not personal, I would not trust this app with my computer internals. Probably also asks for sudo from time to time.. but I might ask Claude to make something similar for myself.. (sorry but just being honest)

  I get that there's a market to put command line preferences in a GUI wrapper, but wasn't HN going to limit posts from new accounts? Oh, it's not in Show HN. They found a loophole.Meanwhile, I'm running Claude Code and asking it to make me stupid bespoke things that only I want and I'm not spamming the internet with those tools because they aren't novel or useful for most people and you can have Claude Code build a version for the way that you work.Go away, green accounts. Everyone is pretty tired of your presence.

  Interesting how posts like these seem to be catapulted to #1 spot so quickly

  Lovely! Would appreciate a release via the App Store / notarization or so… is there a newsletter so I could get notified?
• antryu
  The pricing debate is interesting. I'm running a similar service and found that giving away as much as possible for free helps build initial trust — getting people to actually try it once is the hardest part.Pre-release feedback from the community is definitely valuable though. I didn't know this part is the most diffcult.

  This looks cool but I'd probably always prefer Raycast over this. The menubar gets crowded enough even with Ice, Bartender etc...

  We no longer use Show HN?

  Awesome. Can you add extra bright mode like Vivid? I'd love to get rid of Vivid cause it's so buggy and never re-enables after I close my MacBook Pro

  This is cool but most of this stuff for me is just set and forget, I rarely need to change those things so frequently I need it in my menu bar.

  This reminds of a similar windows shareware system tray app from ~25 years ago called Genius.

  in your "demo" image the menu bar is completely missing.. this seems like a very confusing choice. I can barely make out the menu bar icon against the background image.

  Yeah, I'm not trusting some app like that randomly on my computer.

  Cool! Disappointing there's so much focus on the non-sandboxing, I think it's a reasonable trade-off to release early, and follow up with signing later.- Website looks great overall, but the fixed and overlaid header title is awkward and hurts readability for not much benefit.- Battery Health on my M3 Max MBP reads as "1%", when System Report shows Condition: Normal, Maximum Capacity: 100%. What is this reading from?- Handy password generator is great; any chance of an option for "correct horse" [0] style passwords? I find these are preferable for reasonably secure passwords which can still be remembered or hand-typed as needed.Looking forward to seeing how the app evolves![0] https://www.correcthorsebatterystaple.net

  Unrelated to the app but I dig your website design.

  Hmm, green account, no comments or submissions, generated website for an unsigned app with power user features. That’s a no from me dawg.
