Show HN: Progress Bar OS X. How much % of a year/month/day has passed in menubar

This can easily be done using the program BitBar. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;matryer&#x2F;bitbar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;matryer&#x2F;bitbar</a>

Intersting idea, but I feel you&#x27;ll have a difficult time with that price tag.

Nice! I made a website like this years ago inspired by a thing I saw on HN called the memento mori (remember, you are dying!) :)<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;moriclock.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;moriclock.com&#x2F;</a>

As if I needed more induced anxiety worrying about the passage of time.<p>&quot;time isn&#x27;t holding up. time isn&#x27;t after us.&quot;

I never thought I&#x27;d get to see someone advertising software with a fight club quote. That certainly scores some sympathy points in my book! :)

why don&#x27;t developers publish small apps like this in the app store?

Why the marketing line &quot;this is your life, and it&#x27;s ending one minute at a time&quot;? I don&#x27;t mean to be rude, but it&#x27;s kind of an aphorism, and a morbid one at that. But I see people whom I respect making this observation. I&#x27;m sincerely wondering why pointing out the obvious is important

Don’t hear the naysayers, $5 is a good price for it, frankly $4 would be even better not because it’s cheaper in so much as it’s less than a round number that could be used as a mental barrier.<p>I can imagine a lot of non techie creatives using this to keep focused on long projects.

I don’t get why you’d reference ‘OS X’ in the title when that name was retired years ago. I assumed this was an app that had been around for a while yet the domain was registered just yesterday.<p>Also, I don’t know about anyone else but I find ‘Progress Bar’ as an app name to be really vague. I wouldn’t know it was a year progress widget without visiting the site.<p>P.s. you’re welcome to my genius naming idea ‘Year Progress macOS’.

I really love this idea and greatly appreciate the brevity in implementation, the sales pitch, and the landing page. If I had one suggestion it would be a slightly different visual treatment so as to not conflate it with battery percentage so easily. Maybe small clock icon in the middle of the bar or something.

I don&#x27;t mind the &#x27;business model&#x27; (I think it&#x27;s a bit rich to be asking $5 for this, but then you&#x27;re asking $5 from people who spent $2000-4000 on a laptop). What I do mind a bit is how depressing it seems - I guess I don&#x27;t want to be reminded about impending death all the time...

Just found this little gem for Android that allows you to have progress bars like these as a launcher widget.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.donationcoder.pbol" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.donationco...</a>

Those that find this interesting might also want to check out Mortality, a chrome extension.<p>It replaces the default new tab window with a count down and has the ability to set it based on your expected death date based on your stats.<p>I&#x27;ve got 19494 days 14 hours and 53 minutes to go.<p>I find it motivating.

Nice, now do it with life expectancy based on your blood work results and current age :)

Very cool. Reminds me of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;progressbar201x" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;progressbar201x</a>

I get an security error when I open this on my mac. Is it hard to become an identified developer?

Both a simple and very interesting idea... Could get one to stop procrastinating.

Life isn&#x27;t short it&#x27;s the longest thing you&#x27;ll ever do

I was hoping that this would patch in with the OSX system progress bars and sum up the total amount of time waiting for something to happen on your computer. I always thought that progress bars were just a waste of life.

Should be free, with no annoyware and offer a $5 purchase for some extra features, or simply ask for donations
