I built two Mac menu bar apps that solve my own daily frustrations

Hey PH community! I'm a solo dev who built two native Mac apps to scratch my own itches. Sharing them here in case they're useful to anyone else.

TokenBar (tokenbar.site) — If you use multiple AI APIs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, etc.), you know the pain of checking 5+ provider dashboards to track your spending. TokenBar sits in your Mac menu bar and shows real-time credit balances for 20+ AI providers in one glance. The Pro version ($5 lifetime) adds spending spike alerts so you catch runaway scripts before they burn through your credits. No subscription.

Monk Mode (mac.monk-mode.lifestyle) — I was losing hours daily to YouTube recommendations and Twitter's For You feed. So I built an app that blocks the algorithmic feeds on these sites while keeping search and subscriptions intact. You can still use the platforms intentionally — you just can't doomscroll. It also includes daily time caps and a focus score tracker. Free to try, $15 lifetime unlock for all features. 4,200+ Mac users and growing.

Both are native Mac apps, both are one-time purchases, and both were built because I couldn't find existing tools that solved these problems the way I wanted.

Would love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about the build process!
