I've been using deepseek-v4-flash as a "worker" model with Claude Code to implement a tool using Rust/Iroh for my personal use, and it works fairly nicely when I use Opus as the planner/reviewer model. It seems to f

A bit of self-promotion here, but coming from Windows/Linux land I got used to having the taskbar at the bottom and never really liked the Dock. I love my Mac, and I know folks who have been using macOS for decades swear by it, but thi

Thanks! I'll be hanging around this thread for a few more hours. Let me know if there's any feature you need or any bug you encounter.

I reckon peeking into the individual iTerm/Brave/Chrome tabs would not be possible without disabling SIP. I need to research this a bit though.

1. Support for themes will probably not happen in the near future. I want to keep this as simple as possible. 2. Sure, I'll experiment with the Messages app to reproduce this. Thanks for pointing this out. 3. It's $10 per year and

OP here - I think I need to focus more on accessibility features in the next few releases. Could you please post a screenshot of how boringBar looks to you right now?

Hey, thanks for purchasing it! I'll take a look into the app launcher issues that you are pointing out. The drag and drop feature will be implemented later this week in the bar window list and in the app menu as well. I'll researc

I'm able to reproduce the cmd+a issue. Will fix it in the next update. Thanks for letting me know. The hitbox part is being requested a lot. It'll be a part of the next update too.

Clicking on the chip and not having the window come to the foreground is a fairly weird issue. Do you have anything else installed that uses Accessibility permissions? On the other observation, it works this way because apps on macOS do not

Hey! Thanks for checking it out. Regarding your feedback: - This has been said by another user as well. I am on a 4K monitor - if possible could you share a screenshot of how it looks like currently? - That's a fair ask. I will take a

I think that's fair. My use case is fairly simple: I usually have multiple VS Code windows open at the same time and I have a habit of moving windows related to a certain task to a specific space. The default Dock mixes every window up

by a-ve 5mo ago
I tried Sidebar, uBar - all of them. All of them have the same set of issues that they don't take care of windows that are being maximized (they end up behind the bar) and they have intermittent issues with waking up from sleep. boring

Hey. OP here - which part of boringBar did you find slow? Is it the time it takes to hover on a window to show its thumbnail? Or is it something else you think needs improvement?
14.
by a-ve 5mo ago
Technically it should - I tried using Amethyst with it for a few weeks before launch and it seemed to work fine for me.

by a-ve 5mo ago
Wow okay - I thought the large option was already quite large. Will experiment with an extra large option in some time and push out an update if it appears stable.
16.
by a-ve 5mo ago
It does! That's the USP here - it's present on all spaces and it only shows windows on that space. If you have multiple displays and have the "Displays have separate spaces" option disabled in macOS settings even then yo

That feature is under development. Right now the windows are arranged based on which app was launched first.

I have some existing issues with uBar that I have listed here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47746812 . All in all it does not seem like a polished app to me. I tried using it and I could not bring myself to buy it.

by a-ve 5mo ago
- I cannot seem to find Mbar on stacksocial. Do you have a link for that? - Sidebar looks like a decent app but on a cursory look it does not seem to take care of window overlapping (atleast on Tahoe). You can expand windows behind Sidebar

OP here - for boringBar you can use the same license for your new machine. It would not be an issue. Keep in mind though boringBar on your previously activated device will stop working after 30 days if it exceeds the device limit on your li

by a-ve 5mo ago
OP here - much appreciated. Is there something that you didn't like about boringBar? Is there any missing feature you would like to see implemented or is it that it doesn't fit well with your current muscle memory with the system

by a-ve 5mo ago
Hey - thanks for testing it out. Have you found any issues as of yet that I need to look into?
23.
by a-ve 5mo ago
Apps like these unfortunately cannot be put on the App Store as they use some Window Server shenanigans to make it work. boringBar is notarized by Apple and will work well with Gatekeeper if that makes it any better. Regarding business lice

I've already used these apps and they did not serve my purpose well. - I forced myself to use uBar but it has another level of jank that doesn't sit right with me - it is not reliable on a multi-monitor setup, there's no guar

by a-ve 5mo ago
Thanks for actually using the app. Appreciate it! I concur with the uBar issue - its jank was the main reason I built this app. I didn't want to add the logout/restart/shutdown option initially, but I'll experiment with

I get it now that folks absolutely loathe the idea of subscriptions - that too for a taskbar. In hindsight I too find it hideous but I wanted the pricing to reflect the effort that went into this - wrestling with the Window Server and Xcode

Hey. I'm seeing this issue with some other users as well and I'm trying to reproduce this - do you have the reduce transparency accessibility option enabled by any chance?
28.
by a-ve 5mo ago
Thanks. Regarding your suggestions: - I see, I can work on adding folders to the dock, sure. - Fair. I think the clickable area is too small, right? I think I had the same issue as well but I got used to it. Nevertheless I'll push an u

by a-ve 5mo ago
These are NTP servers for checking time via the app. I'll fix this in an update today - it shouldn't be required in the trial version.

by a-ve 5mo ago
Okay this is most definitely a bug. Have you enabled reduce transparency in macOS settings by any chance?
