OS I built LampControl – control your smart lights from the macOS menu bar (free / €5.99)

Hi r/macapps, I am the developer behind this app. Disclosing upfront as required by the rules.

Problem

Every smart light brand ships its own desktop app. Switching between Hue, LIFX, or any other vendor app just to turn off a lamp or change a scene is slow and breaks your workflow. None of them live in the menu bar where you actually spend your time on macOS.

Comparison

The Philips Hue desktop app and similar vendor apps are heavy, require a login, and sit in the Dock rather than the menu bar. Home app on macOS is better but still requires opening a full window. LampControl lives entirely in the menu bar, launches instantly, and works with multiple brands from one place without switching apps or contexts.

Pricing

Free tier available. Pro features unlock at 5.99 EUR one-time.

OS Galopen — auto-opens meeting URLs from your Mac calendar (free & open source)

**[Problem\]** Joining the right Zoom/Meet/Teams link 30 seconds before a meeting starts is way more friction than it should be — Calendar.app buries the link in event details, no auto-join, no countdown.



**[Compare\]** Galopen is better than Meeter and Notion Calendar because it's fully free + open source, runs only in the menu bar (no full calendar UI), and uses macOS EventKit — so it picks up any calendar you already have configured (Google / iCloud / Outlook) with zero extra OAuth or setup. Just grant calendar permission once and you're done.



A few other things it does:



\- Countdown timer in the menu bar

\- Configurable auto-open window (1–10 min before)

\- Calendar filter for multiple accounts

\- Japanese / English auto-detection

\- Auto-update on startup

macOS 26 app for AES-256 encrypted ZIP files.

* **Problem:** I had to email a client a password protected ZIP file of project files. I was not able to do so.
* **Comparison:** Zip files have a long history in Windows (apps) and it shows. In my opinion all ZIP apps look or act mediocre. Or ask too much money. Another thing: when you send a ZIP files with password, I need to share that password. App has a password generator (16-chars or 4x four letter words). This flow is part of the app. It has a Mac user password (Keychain) protected Vault to manage and share your passwords. App is designed for macOS 26 which I like a lot. But works too for macOS 14 and up.
* **Pricing:** Free for casual use with up to 10 files per ZIP. For professional use with more than 10 files per ZIP: $2.99 Lifetime. Mac App Store: [ZIP Protect](https://apps.apple.com/app/zip-protect/id6767168960)
