Binqo puts Mielo, a little dot-matrix friend, in your Mac's notch. Glance up for music, calendar, files and clipboard. Hold a key to ask a question, answered on your Mac. Open the desk for meeting notes and mini-apps you describe in a sentence.
I'm Raphael. I built Binqo because the notch on my MacBook was the one part of the screen doing nothing.
Now Mielo lives there. Hover and you get what's playing, what's next in your calendar, a shelf for files and your clipboard history. Hold ⌥ Space and ask something out loud.
The newer part is the desk: Mielo takes notes in your meetings, answers questions about them, and builds small apps from one sentence.
A few things I cared about:
Permissions are asked only when a feature needs them.
Clipboard history stays in memory and skips anything a password manager marks as secret.
Updates are signed and install themselves.
It's early (0.4.1). I'd love to hear what you'd want Mielo to do next, and what feels off.
I build Mac apps, so the idea of the notch finally doing something useful really appeals to me — it's the one part of the screen just sitting there. The privacy choices stand out most: answers on device, clipboard staying in memory, permissions only when a feature needs them. Curious how far the 'describe a mini-app in a sentence' thing goes — what can one of those mini-apps actually do once it's made?
Finally something useful in the notch. What does Mielo do on an external monitor or a Mac without a notch?
