Ball

A bouncy ball for your Mac

It's a little ball that lives in your dock. You can drag it, and it'll bounce around the screen. You can flick it, bounce it, try to make it hit the corner, count how many times it hits the wall, and more. It's a ball. It's fun. It's a ball.

Saw this on Twitter (X) and it looked fun...but I grossly underestimated how addicting and cool it is. Really neat application of using the dock to create an immersive experience on a laptop. I highly recommend folks to try this out if not for the joy of bouncing a ball, to add a new way of thinking on how to build Mac apps.

@gabe haha this is pretty fun. Instead of anger management, you can just throw that red ball O.O. Thanks for sharing this!

@tonyhanded 😭 the only ball that doesn’t break screens when thrown. Glad you’re enjoying it!

This reminds me of old times 😁 - There was a Nokia phone game called "Bounce" - Windows has had these type of apps for decades
Gabe Perez
@kyrylosilin Windows had so many silly apps. Computing was (is?) fun. Didn’t know about the Nokia one!

Less AI, more this!

@bsodoge Yes! Less productivity more brainrot! (This was probably coded with AI; this message was written with AI; your career will be meaningless without AI)

Hey! Just encountered this new gem on the block, 'Ball'. Yes, it's as simple as it sounds - a playful bouncy ball living right there in your dock. At first, you might think, "Why should an AI startup cofounder and seasoned product officer like me, bother with a bouncing ball on my screen?". But honestly, amidst the hustle and bustle, bouncing this little buddy around works as an oddly soothing stress buster. It's the digital equivalent of those squishy stress balls, yet no squishing - just flick, bounce, and see it ricochet! Got to admit, never thought I'd count wall hits for fun, yet here I am, oddly satisfied. Cheers to the creators for bringing fun back to the dock!

@max_mikhaylovskii I think for $99 I could get you to say the same for anything else
