Show HN: Hide the Mac menu bar or clock, dynamically synced w focus (DND)

https://github.com/dotcomjack/nocturne
1•dotcomjack•1h ago
what up guys, as I'm sure many of you are also, I'm extremely hyper in the brain and juggle hundreds of thoughts a minute. Again just like most of you, I'm often on DND dialed in.

I've realized a point of friction isn't necessarily time itself but rather the questions we ask ourselves in regards to time; a simple mental example being something like 'oh what time is it' or 'wonder what time it is, I prob should get to bed'... Those are my biggest enemy, they ruin my flow and often pull me out of the deep state I push to be in.

Enough dialog, this simple Mac repo gives you full customization of your Mac menu bar and what gets hidden, as well as direct dynamic sync with 'focus' (do not disturb). It's pretty straight forward, clean code and not much to it.

Happy building.

Best, DotcomJack
