Mac and iOS productivity tools are going multi-frontier. StageHero, DockProfiles, Eisenhower Matrix, Snack Count, and Ranked Focus Timer push stage management, Dock switching, and focus tweaks into one toolkit.
StageHero.app — Adds a Stage Manager-aware Widgets toggle, a Pin to lock the Quick Controller’s HUD position, a Lightswitch to macro all buttons, and a single-app mode option. It also improves licensing with Lifetime, Yearly, or Free modes and faster license recovery. [1]
Matrix Todo — The Eisenhower Matrix app sparks chatter about a Mac version and how to grab lifetime promo codes. Some posters want a Mac-native version, and others chase a lifetime code. [2]
DockProfiles — Save and instantly swap between Dock setups, with profiles like Work or Gaming, plus website shortcuts and custom icons. Users suggest shortcuts, app-store presence, and integration ideas. [3]
Snack Count — A snack-logging app that tracks daily limits and shows data visuals; launched free-through-weekend, then price returns to $1.99. Feedback touched on iCloud sync and color themes. [4]
Ranked Focus Timer — An anime-themed focus timer designed to beat procrastination and boost deep work. The post frames it as a practical tool for staying on task. [5]
Closing thought: Watch these tools evolve as developers blur the lines between workspace, timing, and stage control.
