Hop started as a menu bar app with three modules. Today it has 18 tools in one panel and gets about 20 new downloads a day. Last week it was the #14 Swift repository of the day on Trendshift, and every update pushes it a little higher.

Hop is free with no pro tier, and 20 updates since July have arrived inside the app at no cost. The code is open under MIT, so you can check what every module does, report a bug or add the tool you're missing.

Does it annoy you too that every small job on a Mac needs its own app? One keeps the screen awake, one snaps windows, one remembers what you copied, one shows CPU load, and each adds another icon to the menu bar.

I got tired of it and built Hop, one free app for all of that.

Everything in Hop runs on your Mac. It has no server of its own, no accounts, no analytics and no crash reports.

The converter shrinks a video or turns a web page into a PDF on your machine, and the uninstaller moves files to the Trash so a mistake can be undone.

As AI capabilities grow, implementation skills (especially IT product development) are increasingly becoming secondary.

Decision-making and direction skills, as well as a sense of taste, are becoming more important. Understanding what needs to be done and how to do it are key.

Always test a high number of hypotheses, even when building a product from scraps. A bad idea won’t work in any form, but a good one will take off—even with rough execution and a buggy site

[Anton @AntonyShakirov]

Understand what you can and want to be the best in the world at. Narrow it down to your niche until you dominate even that small area 🌍

Growth comes from knowing what you can and want to be the best at. Narrow it down until you dominate even the smallest niche

A great way to build valuable connections: “Hi, I’m [your name]. I’m curious about what you do. Let’s meet—lunch is on me, and you can share how you do it” 🤝

The type of work you publish determines the clients you attract 🎨

Don’t be modest. No one around really cares about you anyway 🦁

It’s better to try than to do nothing and regret missed opportunities ⚡

Personal growth dies in comfort. Set massive goals that make you want to push forward—desire is everything

Success belongs to those who overcome their fears 🤜
