Chunk – A macOS menubar app for time blocking

Hacker News

Hi HN! I built Chunk, a lightweight macOS menubar app to help you time block your day and stay focused. It’s designed for people who want to manage their day visually without complicated setup or distractions. See a live countdown for your current task right in the menubar Fully customise your chunk tasks Save tasks to favourites and save multiple tasks as templates Get notified gently when it’s time to move to the next block Minimal UI – no bloat, just clean and focused productivity You can try it free for 7 days (no credit card needed). It’s not on the Mac App Store so downloads go through the official site: https://www.chunkapp.net I’d love feedback or suggestions from this community — especially if you use time blocking or productivity tools regularly. Happy to answer any questions!
