Awesome Mac Apps

Lo-cafe’s NotchNook brings the iPhone’s Dynamic Island into MacOS, and then some. It’s a fluid, customizable, and multipurpose tool that pops up when you hover over your Mac’s notch (or the top center of your screen if you don’t have the latest MacBooks). It can act as media playback control, a file tray for quick access, a calendar, and more.

WorkspacePro lets you launch and close multiple apps at once from the Menu Bar. It lets you create and edit groups of apps, set a group to launch on startup, open another instance of an app, hide or force close launched apps, and more.

AirBuddy connects your AirPods to Macs in the same manner that the earphones do on iOS devices. It also lets you see the battery status of nearby AirPods, their charging case, and even iPhones, iPads and compatible Beats headphones.

Progress Bar is a simple app for MacOS designed to make you more aware of the passing of time. It sits in the menu bar and shows a bar or a percentage of the day, month and year’s progress. You can even include an eerie estimate of your life’s progress.
