A developer cockpit that shows what needs you, AI usage limits, GitHub, notes and projects, eye rest, window management, keep-alive, cloud billing, system monitoring, port management, menu bar tidy, GitHub notifications, takeover reminders, meeting takeovers, an AI writer, screenshots, coding-agent sessions, water and stand-up reminders on a side dock, a desk buddy, and an island for the notch — organized, private, and always one click away.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which tools does FavTray include?

A free developer cockpit in the menu bar that shows what needs you, plus AI Usage Tracker, GitHub, Port Kill, System Info, Space, Cloud Costs, Projects, Notes, Flow AI, Snap (Window Manager), Menu Bar Manager, Keep Alive, Screenshot, Clipboard, Eye Rest Timer, Hydrate, Posture, Reminders, Meetings, AI Writer, Agent Sessions, Max (a desk buddy), and FavShelf — an island for the Mac notch. All are accessible from a single menu bar icon.

Which tools are free?

Every flow opens on Free. No limit: the developer cockpit, AI Usage Tracker with full history, Eye Rest Timer, System Info, Menu Bar Manager, Hydrate and Posture reminders, and the notch island glance. A daily limit that resets at local midnight: Port Kill 10 kills, AI Writer 10 rewrites, Flow AI 10 asks, Screenshot 10 captures, Snap thirds 20 times, Keep Alive 3 hours, and full-screen takeovers for 4 meetings (then a normal Join banner), and Clipboard 10 pastes into apps. A cap on adding: 2 notes, 2 projects, 3 active reminders, 2 GitHub repos and 1 cloud account, plus 5 Clipboard pins and 24 hours of clipboard history. Pro, a one-time $4.99 Lifetime license for one Mac, removes every limit and adds Space, Claude Code approvals from the notch, body breaks, Hydrate and Posture history, the full notch island and Max.

Can I enable only the tools I need?

Yes. Each tool is independent. Enable or disable any tool from the sidebar. Disabled tools don't run.

Does FavTray require macOS Sonoma?

Yes. FavTray requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later. It's a universal app (Apple Silicon and Intel), tested on Apple Silicon with macOS 26.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every install gets a 7-day trial with everything unlimited, no credit card and no account. After it, the tools keep working on Free with their daily limits, and nothing you set up or created during the trial is removed.

Is FavTray private?

No FavTray server stores your data. The app talks directly to the services you already use, plus a license check and an update check. There's no account, and credentials sit in the macOS Keychain.
