PixelHUD - Gamify your Mac
Gamify your Mac with Minecraft-inspired mobs, hearts and XP
PixelHUD is a free macOS desktop app that brings Minecraft-inspired feedback to everyday tasks. Your battery becomes hearts, typing and clicking earn XP, and focus sessions power a Pomodoro hunger bar. Mobs, sounds, imported skins, and pixel-art effects make your desktop feel more alive. Unlike a traditional productivity tool, PixelHUD turns routine Mac activity into a lightweight game that lives directly on your desktop.
I always loved Minecraft but didn't want to spend time playing it anymore instead of working, so I've combined two things: working and playing Minecraft in form of PixelHUD! You have a little Minecraft Player watching your work, a health (battery) and hunger (pomodoro) bar, gain XP from clicking and typing on your Mac, spawning mobs when copy / pasting and more easter eggs (look what happens when your mac's battery is at 5%)
This is so fun, Elias! The battery hearts and XP from typing and clicking are such nice touches. Upvoted! ⛏️❤️
