Hi r/macapps,
I’m the developer of Pegboard. I built this because switching workspaces or windows for tiny tasks (checking a calendar, copying a snippet, or starting a timer) breaks my flow, especially when working in full-screen.
Problem
Constant workspace switching for minor tasks adds unnecessary friction. Some tools require finding their entry point or opening a separate window, which is often more effort than the task itself.
Pegboard solves this by providing a menu bar overlay, letting you access tools instantly without leaving your active app.
Comparison
• Compared to other physical pegboards, this one features a "hole-less" design.
• Vs. Parallels Toolbox: Pegboard offers more layout customization and faster access.
• Vs. Other Toolboxes: Most run in independent windows. Pegboard is a direct overlay, eliminating window-switching.
Pricing
• Free: Add up to 8 standard tools.
• Pro: $0.99/mo or $9.99 lifetime (All tools, no limits).
Current Tools:
Pomodoro, Countdown, Stopwatch, Sprint, Timeline, Agenda, Todo, Note, Snippet, Emoji Picker, Bookmark, File Link, App Launcher, Color Picker, CPU/Memory/Network Monitors, and Charts.
