Highlights: today's revenue from Stripe or Dodo Payments; Claude Code and Codex usage limits; a card that drops from the notch when Claude Code or Codex finishes or needs you; clipboard history, file shelf, now playing, calendar, reminders, timers, weather, stocks and more. Three themes (Minimal, Playful, Neon). One-time purchase, no account, data stays on the Mac. Available now with a 3-day free trial; the first 50 buyers pay €4.99 with code EARLYBIRD, then €9.99; up to 3 Macs per licence. Requires macOS 14 or later.
