Ambient Floating Edge Dock for macOS

Private by Design SwiftUI & AppKit Handcrafted in Pune, India

How it works

AppKit NSPanel Architecture
Engineered using a non-activating NSPanel pinned at NSStatusWindowLevel. Interacting with widgets never steals focus from your active code editor, terminal, or video call.
ProMotion 120Hz Animation
Hardware-accelerated CoreAnimation spring kinematics. Dock expansion, icon hover states, and beak flyouts glide smoothly with zero frame drops on MacBook Pro displays.
Glanceable Micro-Widgets
Clock with multiple world timezones, Focus Pomodoro timer with circular SVG progress ring, Habits 36-day visual heatmap, Hydration fluid water level tracker, and Scratchpad for immediate note taking.
Zero-Polling Battery Economy
Listens to Darwin notifications and system sleep/wake events without polling loops. Consumes 0.0% CPU and zero battery drain when idle.
Edge Docking & Shortcuts
Anchor to the right or left edge of any connected display. Press ⌥S anytime to reveal or hide.

Requirements

Operating System
macOS 14 Sonoma, macOS 15 Sequoia, or newer.
Hardware
Apple Silicon MacBook (M1, M2, M3, M4) or Intel Mac. Universal 64-bit Mach-O binary.
Permissions

Private by Design

100% On-Device
All habit tracking counts, timer preferences, and scratchpad notes are stored strictly in your local Mac container sandbox. Nothing is ever saved to the cloud or sent over the internet.
Zero Telemetry
No analytics SDKs, no tracking cookies, no telemetry beacons, no user accounts. 100% free and open-source.
