✨ Introducing Festivitas for macOS! 🎄<\/p>\n

Deck your dock and menu bar with endlessly customizable festive lights. Add a touch of holiday magic to your Mac ✨💻<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

It’s a one-time purchase for €4<\/a>, only available outside the Mac App Store because it requires accessibility access to find window positions.<\/p>\n\n

It’s a well executed app that’s got the flavor of the fun early Mac era. It reminds me of classic Mac apps like Underware<\/a> and more modern takes like Notchmeister<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

There is something very core to the Mac’s origins about not just making a software toy like this, but putting effort into making everything about it really nice. Harks back to Steven Halls’s The Talking Moose<\/a> and, of course, the undisputed king of the genre, Eric Shapiro’s The Grouch<\/a>. Oh, and of course (thanks to Stephen Hackett for the reminder<\/a>), Holiday Lights<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Drawing to SwiftUI’s Canvas seems very CPU-intensive, causing Festivitas to have way too high power consumption. It’s surprising to me that drawing should be that expensive. Festivitas’ drawing is quite simple after all 🤔<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
