macOS is getting a wave of OS-level tools that boost productivity and streamline workflows. Here’s the crew driving the trend: WailBrew, FocusKit, SupaSidebar, ClickClack, and a SF Symbols-powered system monitor.
WailBrew – a free macOS app that gives Homebrew a clean GUI. It lets you browse and search installed brew packages, install/uninstall with a click, and view package details without typing commands. Built with Wails (Go + React), it’s still evolving. Repo: github.com/wickenico/WailBrew. [1]
FocusKit – All-in-One Daily Planner. Now available on TestFlight. It handles daily planning, a braindump-to-dos flow via voice, a focus mode with a customizable timer and app blockers, habit tracking, calendar integration, and reminders. Clean and minimal to keep you focused. [2]
SupaSidebar – Arc-like sidebar for all browsers, with Arc-inspired vibes. It lets you organize links with spaces and folders, use global shortcuts, and access a command panel. The update adds website search, drag-and-drop files, and more, priced at $9.99 as a one-time purchase with promo codes surrounding the launch. Roadmap notes tease future work. [3]
ClickClack – Typing Trainer now supports macOS 26 Tahoe with Liquid Glass UI. Expect smoother animations, neon terminal theme (Pro), cursor options (Block/Underline, Pro), cursor blink control, three new keyboard switch sounds, and iCloud sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Offline use remains viable. [4]
SF Symbols-powered lightweight system monitor sits in the macOS menubar, displaying CPU name, usage, and memory with dynamic, variable rendering for at-a-glance insight. The author plans a Homebrew release to reach more users. [5]
Together these updates signal a trend toward deeper macOS tooling and workflow refinements that blend native feel with focused utility.
