Hey Product Hunt! This is my first time using this website. I've read a few product launch pages and I must say I'm already quite amazed with the sense of community here! Really looking forward to trying out some of the cool products here.
To throw my own hat into the ring, I've developed and launched CozyBar, a Windows-inspired taskbar for macOS. I know a few people probably just rolled their eyes as there are existing well-established taskbar apps for Mac, but after trying one or two I realised that I missed the UX of the Windows 10/11 taskbar (old habits die hard huh), so I decided to make CozyBar. The main goal with this app, as the name suggests, was simply to provide a cozy UX that feels easy and natural with pretty much zero learning curve. Using CozyBar has made using my own Mac feel just that little bit sweeter (I know, I probably sound like that Obama self awarding medal meme lol) and I really hope to provide that same feeling to any fellow mac users on here.
Two features I've added to the app outside the taskbar itself are a new task manager where you can view CPU/RAM usage etc (maybe I'm just dumb but I've always felt Activity Monitor is a bit hard to interpret) and also the option to use Windows-style app window ordering rather than macOS' default behaviour which will sometimes raise certain apps above others (this is kinda hard to explain but I've added a visual explanation of it on the website).
Thanks if you've read this far! And to make things easier if you'd like to try out the app, I've made an interactive JavaScript clone of it on the website so you can experience it without needing to download or run anything: https://cozybar.app/
If you like CozyBar, I've created a discount code for 50% off just for the product hunt community. The code is PRODUCTHUNTGANG (it's limited to 100 uses)
If you try it and don't like it I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback nonetheless. If it isn't making your Mac feel cozier then I haven't done my job properly and means I have some work to do.
Thanks for reading, looking forward to hopefully connecting with people here and becoming part of the community.
