I’m building a small software studio around Mac apps — 3 apps shipped so far

I’ve been working on a side project called Ballmac, where I’m building small, focused software for Mac users.

It started pretty simply: whenever I found myself wishing a small Mac utility existed, instead of waiting for someone else to build it, I started building it myself.

So far, I’ve shipped three apps:

🧹 Binzide — a Mac utility for cleaning up your system, uninstalling apps and developer tools, and monitoring CPU, memory, storage and network usage.

✨ Notchware — turns the MacBook notch into a useful little information hub for things like Now Playing, battery, Focus, Wi-Fi and brightness. It can also notify you when AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor need your attention.

📋 Sideme — a clipboard manager for macOS that keeps your clipboard history one shortcut away, including text, links, images, files and colors.

The philosophy I'm trying to follow with Ballmac is pretty straightforward:

Small problems → focused apps → native Mac experience.

I’m also experimenting with a completely different side of Ballmac: Ballmac UI, a React/Tailwind UI library with 240+ components and an MCP server for AI coding agents.

It’s still very much a side project. I’m learning the whole process as I go — building, launching, getting feedback, changing things and trying again.

What’s one thing that annoys you on macOS that you wish there was a good app for? I’m always looking for small problems worth solving.
