Showcase: Airport for Mac

To be focused on writing & working, there are the times where I don’t want my machine to be connected to the outside world, so the idea is what if there is a way to kill the wireless tech anytime & anywhere. This is something not new in the market, there is a great example on smartphones - Airplane mode.

Instead of reinventing something new, just like an iPhone, what if there is an Airplane mode for Mac that turns on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other things.

You can download the app from here for FREE(limited time only and it supports only on Monterey) https://www.producthunt.com/posts/airplane-for-mac

How I built it?
Like always, Apple doesn't keep up the work on Mac development, it was mindf*ck task to make it work. Outside it looks simple but there was a lot of effort put in learning

  • AppKit
  • Applescript
  • Shell script
