later VS SwiftBar

The fourth is Later, a simple and nicely designed app that allows you to close and reopen apps and docs. The project has been abandoned, but the dev has made it open source on GitHub, so the code can be reused.

Its called later

Someone in this subreddit recently mentioned that later was no longer being maintained. It's still working without any problem, so no worries as of right now. That said, I plan for the long term and tend to avoid/ditch apps that have been abandoned as something is bound to break sooner or later. It hasn't been updated in some time, I think.

Are you perhaps thinking about Later?

I've been using https://getlater.app/ to save my workspace so I can come back to it another time, but it looks like the app is no longer being maintained.

there is another app similar called later

How does it compare to https://getlater.app/

https://github.com/alyssaxuu/later - Save all your Mac apps for later with one click - Useful when hiding all windows before presentations/ team calls

I don't know if this supports your use case, but look into SwiftBar. https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar

I’m in a similar boat. Only one external monitor on an M1 Studio. Every time I restart, GeekTool cannot find the monitor, so I have to manually move all 10 of my geeklets to the main monitor. I looked into moving them via script, but was unsuccessful because the monitor id was inexplicably not identical on geektool’s side between launches (I gather this is a known issue from the developer). Sadly, I have been unable to find an app that sufficiently replicates GeekTools functionality. That being said, I have moved some of my scripts to SwiftBar where they are accessible via the menu bar instead of displayed on the desktop. Works fine for simple text stuff, but not my more graphical calendar. I’m saving this post though, because I still want a true fix/replacement for GeekTool.

https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar - Powerful macOS menu bar customization tool

As many of you, I obsess over the current metrics of my TMHI modem. Opening the app to check it is too cumbersome. On MacOS there is a cool free utility that allows simple scripts to run in the menu called SwiftBar (get it here: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar )

Maybe swiftbar?

I am sure you could create a stock ticker with SwiftBar https://swiftbar.app. SwiftBar has plugins which write to the menubar using shell scripts. And there are already some stock ticker plugins - I am sure you could modify one of them to meet your needs.
