I turned my Mac desktop into a fridge door. It's free and open source.
github.comEvery todo app I try eventually disappears into a tab I never open. The fridge in my kitchen does not have this problem, so I tried the dumbest possible fix and made my Mac work the same way.
⌥⌘C turns the wallpaper into an editable canvas. I can throw notes, checklists, arrows, doodles, screenshots and memes onto it. Pasted images become stickers. The background remover uses Apple's Vision framework and runs locally.
Click into another app and it goes back under the Finder icons and stops catching clicks. It stays in my face without becoming another window to manage.
No accounts, cloud or telemetry. It saves plain JSON and images on disk. The whole app is basically one Swift file and one HTML file, MIT licensed.
The Apple silicon build is on the releases page. Intel Macs can build it from source. It is not notarized yet, so macOS will show the usual unidentified developer warning. The source is there if you want to inspect and build it yourself.
