A curated directory of 700 Mac menu bar apps
Not sure why the downvotes, same here. I disabled mine in favour of sketchy bar [0]. I hide most things except for bandwidth and clock. Super handy.

AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS
This is great! I find the one thing I miss the most from i3 that none of the tiling managers seem to have is i3bar, or a minimal bar that displays what space I'm on, how many spaces I have, cpu/ram usage, etc. I've tried to find configs that emulate this with Spacebar [0], but haven't been able to find anything
