⚙️ All-in-One menu bar app, hide 💻MacBook Pro's notch, dark mode, AirPods, Shortcuts

What it solves

OnlySwitch simplifies macOS system management by consolidating numerous fragmented system toggles and routine tasks into a single, accessible menu bar icon. It eliminates the need to dig through deep system settings for common actions like toggling dark mode, hiding desktop icons, or managing Bluetooth.

How it works

The app resides in the macOS menu bar, providing a list of customizable toggle switches and buttons. It leverages native macOS APIs, Shell scripts, and AppleScript to execute system commands. Users can customize their list of switches, import macOS Shortcuts, and create their own custom "Evolution" switches using scripts. It also integrates with AI providers (Ollama, OpenAI, Gemini) via "Only Agent" to allow natural language control of the Mac.

Who it’s for

Power users and macOS enthusiasts who want to streamline their workflow and reduce menu bar clutter by having a centralized hub for system controls.

    Peekaboo is a macOS‑only CLI and menu‑bar app that captures the screen, reads the accessibility tree, and performs native UI actions (click, type, press, etc.). It includes an LLM‑driven “agent” that can translate natural‑language instructions into sequences of these commands, and it can be exposed to external AI clients via a Model‑Control‑Protocol (MCP). Install via Homebrew, npm, or a signed DMG; configure model providers in `~/.peekaboo`. Ideal for GUI automation, testing, and building AI agents that control the desktop.
