@sindresorhus Amazing! I’ve rarely installed an app this fast before!

@sindresorhus Trying it out! First-launch experience was a bit odd.

Installed from App Store on my MBA screen which is not my primary screen. Then my Studio Display (primary) showed a speech bubble saying something like “Hi, I’m Day Progress” but it was just on top of the frontmost app. Assume it was meant to be attached to a settings window or something? Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261).

@henrik It was supposed to show the bubble where the menu bar icon is. Did it not do that? I'm aware it can fail if the menu bar icon is hidden, either by macOS or an app like Bartender.

@sindresorhus It showed a pretty big bubble in the middle of the display. Not near the menu bar. I’m afraid my screenshotting reflexes were slightly too slow to catch it! I don’t use an app like Bartender and there’s a good amount of spare space in the menu bar on both displays.

@sindresorhus no way, why would I need one more thing that produces pressure and anxiety in my life?

@sindresorhus in the Homeline it looked like half your screen gets blocked at 52% (two pictures split) and I took that as more gets blocked progressively as the day wears on.

@sindresorhus Ohh I love the concept! And also it feels like it could be so stressful, like that @year_progress account, haha

@sindresorhus This is great!

Also, I feel like there’s some kind of joke to be made here about being Sherlocked by the battery level icon when Apple releases a Mac with a 24-hour battery, but that doesn’t make any real sense.

@sindresorhus super cool, I love this! 🤩 Any way to also set longer time frames?

For example I’d love to track the time until the weekend (days) or until an upcoming vacation (weeks) or perhaps even until the end of the year (months)?

sindresorhus, 11 months ago

@exkclamation That's outside the scope of this app. There are already lots of general countdown apps. I do have some vauge plans about a more scriptable app to achieve this and much more though.

exkclamation, 11 months ago

@sindresorhus thanks for the reply, totally understood. Love your work, and always excited to see what’s next!

sindresorhus, 11 months ago

Use it as a visual cue to stay motivated and manage time more efficiently.

sindresorhus, 11 months ago

If it takes off, I will bring it to iOS and watchOS too.

sindresorhus, 11 months ago

I'm happy to consider requests for more kinds of progress indicators and types of text to show in the menu bar (use the feedback button in the app). But I don't intend to support other time ranges than "day".

sindresorhus, 11 months ago

An update is out with:

• Setting for whether the progress icon should count up or down.
• Setting to control the progress bar width.
• Progress circle menu bar icon.
• Actions for use in the Shortcuts app.

@sindresorhus really loving the app. Gets a spot on unhidden Menu Bar alongside the amazing Folder Peek. "Only" feature request – I know, slippery slop – is option to only active during weekdays.

sindresorhus, 10 months ago

@rmateu In case you missed it, this was added in the latest update.

rmateu, 10 months ago

@sindresorhus forgot to ping you today when I opened the MacBook. You rock!

sindresorhus, 10 months ago

In the latest update you can now choose which days of the week it's enabled on.

It was also mentioned in 9to5Mac: https://9to5mac.com/2023/06/20/day-progress-mac-app/
