Health App for macOS ?

I would love to have Apple Health on my Macbook - even just as a "read only" application or to check/edit med-plans. I never thought I would use Apple Health this much on my iPhone and Apple Watch - but it actually helps me keep track of medication times and also a general overview of how I am doing. Apple Health has so many numbers/Charts/etc available on the iPhone and it would be so awesome to have this on "the bi

I built a private, on-device meeting scribe for Mac. Optional cloud is opt-in and anonymized first

I'm the developer, and a laser physicist. Most of my meetings are under NDA, and I wasn't going to hand that audio or the transcripts to a server I don't control, so I built Thoth to keep the whole thing on my Mac. Posting for feedback, not a launch. Problem Most AI meeting tools do the transcription or the summary in the cloud. Even the bot-free ones that grab system audio locally still ship the transcript and notes

Need brief

Allow users to define custom redaction patterns (e.g., always catch 7-digit numbers) for sensitive identifiers in transcripts before cloud send.

I built a Mac wellness app to help desk workers improve posture, move more, and reduce screen fatigue

Problem I spend 8–10 hours a day in front of a computer, and after years of desk work, I kept running into the same problems: Poor posture Eye strain Neck, shoulder, and back stiffness Sitting for hours without moving Forgetting to drink enough water I tried several break reminder apps, and while many of them worked well, I realized I was looking for something different.

Lumbar Jack: menu bar app that nudges you to move and fix your posture

Problem: I sit at a standing desk all day writing code and my posture is shot. Shoulders forward, lower back doing its own thing. I know the exercises that fix it, the knowledge was never the problem. The problem is remembering to actually do them when you're deep in work at 2pm. I built a menu bar app that handles the remembering for me. It has two modes: Sit/Stand for standing desk users (alternates intervals with

I made a Mac menu bar app that holds your screen hostage until the webcam sees you actually drink water

Like most people, I’ve installed many reminder apps and ignored all of them like how we all snoozed our alarms. By 4pm my hydration status is usually two coffees and "I should drink more water tomorrow". So I built the app equivalent of a mafia enforcer. Hydration Hostage sits in your menu bar, and on your schedule it takes over your screen. The normal way out is simple: take an actual sip of water. The camera checks

I made a calm little app that your eyes will thank you for

This is Screen Rest. It's a calm, beautiful eye care app for Mac. It makes your eyes feel noticeably less fried by dinner. You just leave it running in the menu bar, and every 20 minutes it gently fades your screen out for 20 seconds so you can look at something far away. Or just enjoy the tiny countdown in your menu bar, ticking down to your next breather. Problem: Be honest. You've felt it. The 4pm headache. The we
