#SETAPP HACK MAC#
HazeOver at #5 spot on the US Mac App Store. Mind you this was the time back when Angry Birds games were all over the place. The single publication made HazeOver #1 Top Paid US productivity app and #5 Top Paid US app out of the blue. I tried to promote the app with little success until HazeOver got mentioned on the LifeHacker. Using Mac OS X API to work with other apps and their active windows turned out to be tricky, but in 2011 the app was finally released on the Mac App Store. I did not get to develop HazeOver until a few years after I started developing Mac software. I immediately bought this domain, set up a web page… aaaand… did absolutely nothing else. I had been developing Windows shareware programs at that time and I was looking for a way to manage my window chaos and improve productivity. Looks like nothing has changed in my work process since 2007 when the idea of HazeOver was first conceived. Besides, I find it satisfying to toss away crumpled paper notes and close related windows when I’m done with something. It’s the same reason I have paper notes on my table. I keep track of what I need to do by having all these items around as reminders. Open windows, documents, browser tabs, developer tools and notes taken in multiple TextEdit windows.
It gets even worse on my computer Desktop. I don’t like it so I force myself to clean it up every few days. I have notes, pencils, papers and books scattered all over the table.
My workspace turns into a mess in no time.
