DockDoor question: Notification dot in Window Switcher?

Trying out DockDoor to replace Alt Tab after seeing it on here.

When I CMD TAB, I'd like to see notfication dots or indicators on the app icons for the windows.

Is there such a feature? I've replaced CMD TAB with DockDoor's WindowSwitcher.

New Program - Neat Little Find

I've been on this forum for a while and I am still blown away that once in a while, a program slips through the cracks. The program Application Wizard is quite neat actually.

I am just playing through it now, but take a look yourself.

looking for a task widget for the desktop

Is there a free or open-source app Does it offer a widget like this on desktop...

or a better one? I tried Apple’s Reminders widget, and I find it not smooth or practical.

I just upgraded to macOS 26.2 and Bartender seems broken for me (v6.3.0). It keeps rearranging my menu bar icons, but it refuses to hide the ones I want hidden. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

I built a keyboard-first HomeKit app because the macOS Home app feels like (is) an iPad port

I spend most of my day on macOS, and the Home app has always felt off.

It’s basically the iPad app dropped onto macOS:

* Not optimized for keyboard use
* Slow to navigate
* Requires constant mouse interaction

That becomes really noticeable when you’re in the middle of something, especially video calls. I’m often in meetings and want to quickly:

* Dim lights
* Close shades
* Toggle a single accessory

Opening a full app just to do that completely breaks focus. So I built [HomeSpot](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/homespot/id6757016819), a **keyboard-focused HomeKit app** where:

* Everything is searchable
* Controls are accessible from Spotlight
* Common actions take just a few keystrokes

Now, during a call, I can hit Spotlight, type a device name, toggle it, and keep talking without switching apps or windows.This feels much more in line with how macOS is meant to work.

Pricing-wise, HomeSpot is a one-time purchase. No subnoscriptions or ongoing fees. I wanted this to feel like a proper native utility, not another service you have to keep paying for.

I built a teleprompter that hides in the MacBook notch - looking for 10 beta testers

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a small Mac app called Notchie. It’s a teleprompter that sits in the notch area of MacBooks - right below the camera.

The idea came from my own frustration: I do a lot of video calls and webinars, and I always looked away from the camera when checking my notes. People could tell I was reading.

So I built this thing that:

Shows scrolling text in the notch (closest spot to the camera)
Lets you pause by hovering, control speed with keyboard
And the part I’m most proud of: it’s completely invisible during screen sharing

I’m looking for about 10 people who’d be willing to test it and give me honest feedback. What works, what doesn’t, what’s missing, etc.

Requirements:

MacBook
macOS 13 or later
Willing to share your thoughts after using it for a few days

If you’re interested, drop a comment or DM me. I’ll send you a free copy - no strings attached.

And if you have any questions about how it works, happy to answer.

Thanks!

System notifications in the notch?

I have been searching for an app that replaces the macOS system notifications (top right corner) into the notch instead but havn’t found such an app yet. So basically, i would like for all system notifications to appear in the notch area via a small drop down window that stays visible for x amount of time.

If anyone know of such an app, please share it or if someone could try and code it. That would be fantastic.

I made a free web app to easily create bulk install mac apps!

Inspired by Ninite for windows**, InstallKit** helps you install all your favorite Mac apps at once using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/).

Instead of:

1. Searching for each app online
2. Downloading installers one by one
3. Dragging apps to your Applications folder repeatedly

You can:

1. Pick all the apps you want from InstallKit
2. Copy one command
3. Paste it in Terminal and let Homebrew install everything

Perfect for:

* **Setting up a new Mac** — Get all your apps installed quickly
* **Reinstalling macOS** — Restore your setup without hunting for downloads
* **Sharing your setup** — Send friends a link with your recommended apps

Anyone found a better way to search apple messages?

Apple messages search is terrible. I can never find things that I’ve discussed in the past.

I’d love a better search, a way to filter it for specific contacts so i can search through just their histories, and a way to search through the images that were sent.

Gemini suggested I look at iMazing and TouchCopy, but those look like they’re specifically for migrating things off of my phone. I use apple messages heavily on my mac… so I’d like a power user app there. I also looked into Alfred and raycast plugins for this, but didnt find anything that looked powerful enough?
