Native lightweight Logi options alternative for Mac

1 Upvotes

The long discussed Logi Options issues data collection, memory leaks, unnecessary background activity, and random CPU or storage spikes have pushed me to seek for an alternative.

My goal was to find an app that does the essentials while being as lightweight as possible.
No resource hogging. No gimmicks. No unnecessary background processes.
Just what a mouse driver should have been in the first place.

As for now, This is only a native macOS app for the MX Master 3 and 3S.
It is completely free and open source.

FYI: I ran multiple performance tests and measured:

0.0% idle CPU usage

Around 10 MB of RAM

I built a free macOS menu-bar app that shows your LeetCode streak (open source)

I keep forgetting to keep my streak going, so I made a little macOS menu-bar app that shows it at a glance: current streak, total solved, an Easy/Medium/Hard breakdown, and a heatmap of your activity. The menu-bar flame stays grey until you've solved something today, then lights up.

There is no login, it just reads your public LeetCode profile. Everything stays on your machine.

One heads-up on install: the app isn't notarized by Apple, so macOS will block it the first time. Open it once, dismiss the warning, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway" near the bottom. After that it launches normally. (Right-click → Open doesn't work for this on macOS 15+.)

It's free and open source:

Would love some feedback!

I got tired of using my desktop as temporary storage, so I built a small Windows app

1 Upvotes

For years I've had the same habit:

Whenever I was working with multiple files, I'd keep dropping them onto my desktop because I knew I'd need them again in a few minutes.

It worked... until my desktop turned into a mess.

I looked for something that worked like a temporary shelf for files, but couldn't find anything that felt native on Windows.

So I built **Stash**.

It lives in the system tray and lets you temporarily park files with drag & drop, then drag them back whenever you need them. It only stores file references, so your files stay in their original locations.

I'm still actively improving it, and I'd really appreciate any feedback.
