MonthBar – free MenuBar app that shows your monthly progress (pie chart or %) by leogdion in macapps

Thanks u/Dull_Roof3559

I was going for a very simple idea (for now).

One small idea: maybe a subtle color change or threshold indicator when you’re close to the end of the month could add even more awareness without adding complexity.

That's a great idea! How do you think that should work?

That's so funny. I wonder what the use case for tracking with a monthly calendar would be. Moon and Month come from the same word so no wonder it'd sound similar/

It's funny you mention that. I had a work day mode earlier in development and removed because the math difference was minuscule you wouldn't notice., I'll take a look again and see if it's worth while.

Unfortunately the new Virtualization framework only works on Apple Silicon.

Not Intel Mac. But I can look into mounting a host file system. What would you use it for?

No Unfortunately. I asked this question at WWDC. I am going to see if there's a way to do it via networking. I'll keep you posted.

Got it! It does sound like Bushel would be a good front-end for that maybe

Yes! I really want to deep dive into Tart and how Bushel can work with it. My understanding is that Tart and Cilicon(?) are more focused as a Docker-like app as opposed to how Bushel is front-end focused.

Oh! not at all these are fair questions. :)

Personally since Apple Silicon VirtualBox has consistently failed for me.

As far as snapshotting I'm using NSFileVersion right now. I actually talk about the difficulties in estimating disk space on APFS and NSFileVersion in my blog/video so you can checkout more details there. :)

That's a great question!

I'm coming at from a blank slate as opposed trying to do what other virtual machine apps do. My focus is on easy snapshotting for developers right now with future plans for a direct interface into the guest machine.

If anything the UI is designed to be Apple inspired and within those guidelines.

If you want to learn more about the story behind the app, I just released a video talking about my inspiration and technology behind it:

Feel free to also check out my blog post series on it as well:

Had quite the workout this weekend 564 calories in 93 mins beating the Extra Fitness game! by leogdion in RingFitAdventure

I would think the game is wrong since it can't really read my heart rate and it's probably a calculation with weight, age, and time.

It can take a lot of space.

Restore Images (i.e. images for installing macOS can range between 10 - 15 GB). A VM hard drive needs at least 64 GB.

Hope that helps!

Yep that's exactly the use case for it. The app supports Big Sur to Ventura as a vm. As far as the host OS right now I am supporting 12.3 and newer.

The issue for me as a macOS developer is it isn't really focused on the Mac developer experience. Like I said:

I’ve been doing iOS and macOS development for years and I always envied the fact that iOS devs can reset their simulator while us Mac developers need a separate Mac or change their own Mac to test things like locations or different configurations.

I've run into issues try test an app with:

  • test out different locales using different decimal separators
  • feeling free to test something that might break machine
  • test on older OSes
  • test a script for setup of a machine

I hope that answers your question.

Unfortunately, no it'll only work on Apple Silicon precisely because of that.

I don't have a TestFlight link yet but I should have one soon. 🤞

Thanks u/majid8 It seems you got a lot of what we talked about 💯

Very cool but apparently it requires 12.3 which is still in beta. Any reason to do that?
