Pegboard - Your Customizable Toolbox
Hey everyone, About a month ago, I introduced Pegboard to this subreddit. After weeks of continuous polishing and integrating your valuable feedback, it now comes with an optimized UI and tons of new features! Problem While working, we often need to perform quick, micro-tasks: adding a to-do, starting a timer, checking today’s schedule, reviewing a doc, or doing a quick calculation. The irony is, we often waste 30 seconds just hunting down the right app or window for an action that actually takes only 3 seconds to complete. To save you from app-hunting fatigue, Pegboard gives you a digital pegboard where you can pin all your daily tools right at your fingertips. Just like a real-world pegboard, it features: * High-Level Customization: Adjust panel size, position, style, which tools to display, and their layout completely to your liking. * Blazing Fast & Efficient: Bring it up instantly via the menu bar icon or your own custom global hotkey. * Lightweight & Quiet: Runs quietly in the background with zero lag. It only takes up around 5MB of disk space, ~60MB of RAM, and nearly 0% CPU. Pegboard now integrates over 20+ essential tools, including: Screen Pin, Scratchpad, Pomodoro, Countdown, Stopwatch, Sprint, Timeline, Agenda, Todo, Note, Snippet, Emoji Picker, Bookmark, File Link, App Launcher, Color Picker, Color Sampler, CPU/Memory/Network Monitors, and various data visualization charts. Comparison * Vs. Parallels Toolbox: Pegboard offers way more layout customization and significantly faster access. * Vs. Other Toolboxes: Most alternatives run in independent windows. Pegboard works as a direct screen overlay, completely eliminating the annoying window-switching. Pricing * Free Version: Add up to 8 standard tools (no time limit). * Pro Version (All tools + unlimited access): $0.99/mo or $7.99 for lifetime access. * Limited-Time Promo: Get Lifetime Pro for just $5.99 (Deal ends on Jun 25, 2026). 👉 Claim Discount Link: https://apps.apple.com/redeem/?code=25OFF&ctx=offercodes&id=6761686600 Links * App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pegboard-toolbox-shortcuts/id6761686600 * Website: https://monotools.app/pegboard * Privacy Policy: https://monotools.app/pegboard/privacy Looking forward to your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback!

Bought it! Such a cool app -- really well done ! My only feedback at this time... would love more options for the timers. Like, clicking on it once to activate it (currently what you have). If running > click once to pause it. And double click-- running or not-- to reset it. That would be amazingggg. And a bigger stopwatch ahaha. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the support! The click-to-pause and double-click-to-reset logic is a great idea and very straightforward to implement. I'll get that added in the next version! As for the stopwatch, you can actually resize it in the configuration panel. The default size is 4x3, but you can expand it up to 6x6 right now. Please let me know if you still need it to be even bigger than that!
You are awesome!! Thank you!! And ooh will do :))
Really great update! I've updated my review on the app store, 5 stars from me! I do like the suggestion mentioned above about having the ability to show only a couple of widgets at a time. Perhaps being able to swipe between boards? I could have one board set up for checking my agenda, todos and noted etc and another for all system stats
Thank you so much for your support and the 5-star review on the App Store! It truly means a lot to me and keeps me motivated to make Pegboard better and better. The swiping-between-boards idea is fantastic! To be completely transparent, the initial architecture wasn't quite built with multiple boards in mind, so implementing this would require refactoring a significant part of the core design. It’s a bit of a heavy lift and will take some time to figure out. However, it’s an incredibly solid concept, and I’ve officially added it to my roadmap for future planning. Thanks again for your continuous support and for sharing such awesome ideas!
This is such a cool idea.
Thank you！
Does something like this exist that can create widget-like stuff like here... but allows you to connect your custom API endpoints with it?
Not at the moment. Right now, all widgets are predefined and built-in. But that's a really great idea though!
i see you continued working on it. nice
Thanks for your continued interest! I’ll definitely keep polishing and making it even better!
looks cool , congrats , a side a question ,which software you used to create the demo video ?
Thanks! For the screen recording, I used the native macOS built-in tool, and for editing, I used CapCut. To make the demonstrations as smooth as possible, I actually coded a custom app myself to record and playback the mouse and keyboard actions.
amazing, i would love to give that app a try as well , sounds useful
This is neat, is it just in the menubar or is there a hotkey to open it as well?
Both! You can open it via the menu bar icon, or use a custom global hotkey. Plus, you can also fully customize the position of the panel to wherever you like on your screen!
that’s sick! love it
Thanks for this.
Glad you like it. 😊
Yes, Pegboard is amazing! (no sarcasm)
Thank you！🥳

Cool! is it possible to add few more features like order pizza, rent flat and probably auto-open beer? then u can increase price a bit more, probably 20$ would be great start and subscription could be around 3$ at least!
We want all of Pegboard's features to run locally on your device, so ordering pizza or renting a flat might be a bit outside our scope—those definitely deserve a dedicated, professional app! But auto-opening beer? Now *that* is an excellent idea. Let me brainstorm how to code a hardware bypass for that... 🤔
You'd better learn the meaning of this word.
