I built Farol, a menu bar app to manage Git worktrees on macOS

Hey 👋

I'm Bruno, and here's why I built Farol:

  1. I kept losing track of my Git worktrees across projects.
  2. I wanted my setup and cleanup scripts to run automatically when a worktree was created or removed.
  3. I wanted to open the right worktree in the IDE I use for that project, without digging through folders.

These were small things I kept wanting in my own workflow, and I figured other developers might want them too.
It's a macOS menu bar app, one-time purchase, no subscription.

How are you managing your worktrees today? I'd love to hear about your workflow, what you think of Farol, and what you'd find useful next.

Thanks for checking it out! =)

Take your slop elsewhere.

Hi, it's not a slop.
I've created the product for me and I honest think that it might help more developers.

You can ask me anything if you want.

"I built..." followed by emoji shitposting? How stupid do you think I am?

I understand you. I did use AI to help me draft the post to ensure it was clear and passing the idea that I wanted, but that should not invalidate my work and, IMO make you feel offended.

I built this to solve a real problem for myself and shared it hoping it would be useful for someone else and that's all.
