Hey PH!
I'm super excited to share Chopstick with you! It's in my opinion the best app for bringing custom widgets to your Mac notch.
With Chopstick you get
statistics on your activity, app usage and more
your own widget editor connected to your coding agent to build custom widgets
automatically created widgets based on your activity
Widgets are super customizable. They can trigger from any script, meaning they appear exactly when you need them. They are highly powerful as they can also trigger custom scripts!
I'm super excited to see what you build with this!
Give it a download and let me hear your feedback!

I'd want to edit a suggested widget after trying it for a few days. The routine it picked up may be real, but the exact shortcut will still need a little adjustment.
@oleksii_sekundant You can do that with chopstick! The editor lets you make any changes or even build entire widgets from scratch
the widget editor sounds useful when the shortcut u need is specific to one project
i would want to see the script a suggested widget will run before enabling it
@saad_el_gueddari absolutely, you can do that! The scripts are visible for you to check, it's a good feedback to make that more obvious in the UI!
The auto-suggested widgets are the part I'd want to understand first — how does Chopstick decide a repeated action is worth turning into a widget, rather than just a one-off routine? Is there a repetition threshold or a time window it watches before it suggests one, and can I dismiss a suggestion without it coming back?
@jcbuilds Because it keeps a log of what you did it can find patterns across multiple days! From that point you always confirm and if it gets something wrong you give it a comment to steer it for the future
been using this for a while now, absolutely love it. replaced a lot of apps for me, I can just build any widget I want now!
@pzrsa great to hear!
Widgets that build themselves from what you repeat is a fun twist on the notch idea. What's the first widget it suggested for you, Josh?
@neerajnathany Last night it suggested a launch tracker across producthunt, plausible and hackernews! Didn't plan for it but I'm using it right now :)
mac + claude code user here, so this one hits. curious about the activity log itself: could it ever flag the things i’d rather do less of (hi, slack 🙃), or is it built only to make repeats faster?
@khanh_murror great point! That is probably hard to detect, but you can always ask it to build any widget you would like!
