WindowCycleWindowCycle is a window switcher for the app you are using right now. Press Command + ` and a panel lists the windows of the frontmost app; keep pressing to move forward, add Shift to move back, and release Command to bring the selected window to the front. Escape hides the panel, and a menu bar item offers Show, Hide, Settings and Quit. Unlike the built-in shortcut, you can see every window of the app before you pick one.Customization
SaneSalesSaneSales is a sales tracker for indie sellers who sell through Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad or Stripe. Instead of checking three dashboards every morning, you paste in your API keys and SaneSales pulls your revenue, orders and products into one native app. It shows today, 7-day, 30-day, custom-range and all-time revenue, daily charts, a product breakdown and net totals that deduct refunds, and it puts today's revenue in the menu bar.Finance
R2DropUploading a file to Cloudflare R2 usually means opening the Cloudflare dashboard or using a command-line tool. R2Drop makes it part of the Mac: right-click a file in Finder and choose Send to R2, drop files on its menu bar or Dock icon, or pick files and folders from a window. Uploads run in a background queue with progress, retries, pause and cancel, and the public URL is copied for you when they finish.Internet Utilities
QuotaBarIf you use OpenAI Codex with a ChatGPT account, the usage limits reset on a 5-hour and a weekly window, and checking how much is left means opening Codex or ChatGPT. QuotaBar puts the remaining percentage in the Mac menu bar and refreshes it every 60 seconds. Click the icon for a detailed panel with every limit window and its reset countdown, or turn on a small floating HUD that stays on top of other windows.Developer Tools
CluxoWhen you share your screen or record a tutorial, the mouse pointer is easy to lose. Cluxo is a small menu bar app that puts a colored ring around the cursor and shows every click, drag and scroll, so viewers always know where to look. It also has a spotlight that dims everything except the area around the pointer, a live magnifier, an on-screen keystroke display and a drawing mode for marking up the screen while you talk.Productivity
Time to LeaveTime to Leave is a desktop app for keeping track of your working time, laid out much like a time-card system. You log the time you started work, and the app works out when you should leave, taking into account the time you spent on breaks such as lunch, then notifies you when that moment comes. It needs no database setup: you install it and start punching in. You can log your day in a Day view or a whole Month view, and see your running balance of hours.Productivity
Stargazer BarStargazer Bar is a small native menu bar app for Mac that keeps an eye on GitHub repositories for you. It puts a live star count in the menu bar, so you can see how a project is doing without keeping a browser tab open, and a click opens a dropdown with the details: star and fork trend charts, release download totals and a maintainer radar. Public repositories are measured by their stars. Private repositories, which have no stars, are measured by what needs your attention: a failing build, an unanswered issue or a new pull request.Developer Tools
ColuracetamColuracetam is a Markdown reader and editor for Mac that shows the same rendered preview everywhere. Press the spacebar on a .md file in Finder and Quick Look shows it rendered in color, and Finder shows generated thumbnails of your Markdown files. Open a file in the app and you get a live split: plain monospace source on one side and the rendered page on the other, with text selection and search that work across the whole rendered document.Productivity
