This desktop is where they live, and most of it works. The small icons in the menu bar up top are Topside: eleven menu bar apps, running right here. Click one to try it.
Snicker finds GIFs from the menu bar and pastes them anywhere, Teams included. Agent Orrery is a live map of the Claude Code agents you have running, and which of them are waiting on you.

Topside is eleven small menu bar apps for macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon, each its own download once the first release is out. Until then, try them in this page's menu bar. Right-click any of their icons for Open at Login, About and Quit, and ⌘-drag them to move them.
The week number, always in view.
Danes plan in weeks, and macOS doesn't show them. Week puts the ISO week number in the menu bar, "Uge 40" if your Mac speaks Danish and "W40" otherwise.
Click it for a month calendar with the week numbers down the side.
Asks for: nothing.
Keeps your Mac and its display awake.
For 15 minutes, 1, 2 or 4 hours, or until you turn it off. The cup fills while it's working.
If Awake quits, macOS lets the Mac sleep again, so it never stays awake by accident.
Asks for: nothing.
Any color on screen, copied.
Click the eyedropper, click any pixel, and its hex code is on the clipboard.
Right-click for your last ten colors, ready to copy as hex, RGB or SwiftUI.
Asks for: nothing. It uses macOS's own magnifier, so no Screen Recording permission.
A look at yourself before the call.
Your camera, mirrored, one click from the menu bar.
The camera runs only while Mirror is open, so its light goes off the moment you close it.
Asks for: the camera.
Your next meeting, counting down.
"Standup in 4 min" shows in the menu bar from an hour before a meeting. The menu lists what's coming up.
Meetings with a Teams, Zoom, Meet, Webex, Whereby or FaceTime link open with one click.
It reads the calendar on your Mac, so there are no accounts and no servers.
Asks for: your calendar.
A place to park files on the way somewhere.
Drop files on the menu bar icon to keep them close, then drag them out wherever they're going next.
Shelf keeps references, not copies, and forgets them when it quits.
Asks for: nothing.
Clean links, as you copy them.
Copy a link and Scrub removes the tracking: utm_source, fbclid, gclid and friends everywhere, si on YouTube and Spotify, s and t on X, trk on LinkedIn. A YouTube timestamp stays.
It reads the clipboard only when it holds a link. Pause it from its menu.
Asks for: the clipboard. macOS asks once.
What time it is for your team.
Add the cities your team works in from a menu of every time zone. Each shows its time and how far ahead or behind it is.
Click a city to keep it in the menu bar. Hold ⌥ to remove one.
Asks for: nothing.
From clipboard to phone, by QR code.
Copy a link or some text, open Beam, and point your phone's camera at the code.
Asks for: the clipboard, only when you open it. macOS asks once.
One mute button for every call.
Hush mutes the microphone itself, so it works the same in Teams, Zoom, Meet and everything else. Click the icon or press ⌃⌥M from any app.
Red means muted. A filled mic means an app is listening. Quitting Hush unmutes.
Asks for: nothing.
A tidy menu bar.
⌘-drag the icons you rarely need to the left of the │ divider. Click the chevron or press ⌃⌥B to hide and show them. This page's menu bar runs it too.
Asks for: nothing, until you turn on Drawer Bar: then Accessibility, and Screen Recording if you want it to show the real icons.
GIF search in your Mac's menu bar.
A live map of your Claude Code agents, and what's waiting on you.
