I just launched Pacebuddy on the App Store - a Mac menubar app that turns boring CPU monitoring into something fun!
The Problem
I was tired of CPU monitors that felt like surveillance tools. They're useful, but not exactly enjoyable to check.
The Solution
Pacebuddy is a lightweight menubar app with an animated buddy that dances in sync with your Mac's CPU load. The faster your CPU works, the faster your buddy dances!
Key Features
- Real-time CPU monitoring with fun animations
- System dashboard (CPU, RAM, network stats)
- Multiple character designs to choose from
- Ultra-lightweight and native macOS design
- Your dance buddy responds to system performance
Why I Built This
After months of weekend coding sessions, I wanted system monitoring to actually make me smile. RunCat was a great inspiration, but I wanted more animation variety and a buddy that truly feels alive.
Tech Stack
Built with Swift and native macOS frameworks for optimal performance.
Check it out on the App Store if you want a more enjoyable way to monitor your Mac!
