Boring / Product
A native macOS app for the small actions that make up your day. Keep music, file tools, focus, and usage information in one compact interface.
01 / music
Control playback, follow the track, and keep the music moving without breaking your flow.
The Octave integration connects playback in Brave to native notch controls and audio visualization. Optional enhanced lyrics adds word-level karaoke timing when the source provides it, with romanization support for Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.
Setup & details02 / shelf
Keep files close, then convert, compress, or share them from a compact workspace.
Shelf brings file actions into your notch, including image and PDF conversion, compression, and sharing. Optional screenshot retention keeps newly captured screenshots in a persistent library on your Mac; it is off by default.
Setup & details03 / focus
Start a session, set a duration, and keep your timer a glance away.
A notch-based focus timer gives you duration controls and visible session state. It is a small companion for writing, coding, studying, or any task that benefits from a defined stretch of attention.
Setup & details04 / Developer workflow
See your local token history and plan allowance alongside the tools you use.
The Codex view reads session history from your selected local Codex folder. Opening the tab requests plan allowance from ChatGPT and public model pricing for equivalent API cost estimates. Session history is not uploaded by the app.
