Luminary
Inspiring quotes, right from your notch.
A macOS menu bar app that surfaces inspiring quotes over your Mac's notch on a schedule you control. Six handpicked collections. $4.99 one-time.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Juan, the solo dev behind Luminary. My background is in visual effects (Sonic 3, Alien: Romulus) but I've spent the last few months heads-down learning SwiftUI and shipping my first Mac app.
The idea is simple: On a schedule you set, the notch briefly expands into a Dynamic-Island-style overlay, shows you one carefully chosen quote, then disappears.
Six hand-curated collections (Motivational, Stoic, Mindfulness, Literary, Coach Wisdom, and a Mix It All shuffle). You can save your favorites, add your own personal quotes, and tune how often it shows up. Lives in the menu bar, no Dock icon, no notifications, no data collection.
Free to try. $4.99 one-time Pro unlock — no subscription. I genuinely believe subscription fatigue is the biggest indie-app problem of the decade and I wanted to ship something simple and honest.
I'll be in the comments all day. Brutal feedback is the most useful kind — fire away.
Juan
