An apple watch app for this would be just amazing. Lift your hand and see how much % of the day is left to get sh*t done.

I hope there will be popup notifications, such as "only 4% time left to complete your project, hurry up you lazy dog"
@sanjevirau cool design - just downloaded it. Is there any way that I can set it so the app doesn't stay in my dock?
@hugobesley Hi Hugo, thanks for downloading. You can undock the app by clicking the "unlink" icon to freely move the app wherever you want in your desktop. Thanks.
@sanjevirau the app icon is still in the doc tho. would be good if it was just a menu bar app :)
I'd love to remove the app from my dock and only keep it up top. It really wastes space on my precious dock.
Hey Makers,
I'm back and happy to announce that Day Night is finally released for macOS, Day Night is a desktop app that shows you the time in percentage to kill the procrastination in you. Since the launch of Day Night for Windows, I have received many emails regarding it;s release for macOS. Therefore, here you go guys, Day Night for macOS.
📖 Why I started Day Night?
The obvious reason is that I was really inspired with the Year Progress, Motivation and Progress Bar OSX project idea. I believed using that apps will kill the procrastination in me. But the one thing all the apps have in common is, it's not available for Windows! Unfortunately, I only have a Windows machine. So I asked myself, do beautiful and useful productivity apps can only be developed for Mac? Can't Windows have beautiful and useful apps too? I challenged myself. Now it's been recreated for macOS since many people requested for it.

Hi, nice looking app!
May i suggest that you look into persuasive-communication? Just giving the user information about their time is very unlikely to change their behaviour/habit. If you want to help people to stop procrastinating, give them ideas for alternative activities or help them, for example by taking their tasks and cutting them up in smaller steps.
Right now this app comes off as a nice exercise for you in coding and visually designing an app. I would love to see you take it further and evolve this design in something that helps its users!
@guidooo Hi Guidoo, thanks for the suggestion and compliment. In the next version, I'm planning to implement a todo list which shows the dateline in percentage. I hope it can make people kill procrastination even more.
@jignesh_patil Yeah, same for me - and I was really wondering for 3 months, how by battery life dropped by like one hour
Nice idea - but in my case macOS shows a very high battery impact (#2 after Firefox, 10 times higher than Spotify). So if there is something you could finetune: It's the battery consumption.
?makers I cannot start the app. When I try a pop-up shows up that says that the developers is not verified (MacBook 13 2020/Big Sur). Any suggestions how to solve it? It is a little bit a bummer after I just paid for it.
Hi @themightyminski,
Thank you very much for purchasing Day Night and sorry for the problem you're facing.
The error you get is due to the app not being downloaded from App Store.
To solve this issue, you need to "Right Click" on the downloaded file and click on "Open". This will allow the Day Night app to be installed in your Mac.
If this doesn't work, please let me know. Thank you once again. Hope you'll like Day Night.
“Day Night.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information." When will this be resolved?
A simple timer app comes in 64 MB size, why!
My windows defender and my antivirus says that it is not safe to install, what is happening here?
