Hidden controls for your Mac.

Stash gives your Mac hidden controls that feel like they’ve always belonged there. Beautiful, native-feeling and ridiculously satisfying to use - adjust system controls with tactile sliders and dials, manage windows, and keep your favourite apps within reach through a hidden expandable dock and app launcher. Stash Deck extends the experience to your iPhone, turning it into a tactile remote for your Mac with quick controls, app launching and configurable widgets.
@will_gee1 The product looks clean and pretty useful. Congrats on your launch. I'll give it a short and let you know!
@almas_malik Appreciate it, let me know what you think!
the iPhone-as-remote angle (Deck/Launcher/Shelf) is what separates this from the usual menu bar organizer pitch, that's the part I haven't seen the other tools in this space do. curious how it behaves when the iPhone is out of Bluetooth/Wi-Fi range of the Mac, does Deck just show nothing, or does it queue the last known state so it doesn't feel broken the moment you walk into another room?
@galdayan Appreciate the comment, it works via Apples Bonjour (a networking tool that lets devices find each other automatically on a home or local Wi-Fi network without manual setup). So as long as you're on the same wi-fi or hotspot it does not time out. If you do lose connection it goes back to its automatic discovery/reconnect state.
@will_gee1 good to know Bonjour handles the reconnect gracefully instead of just erroring out. that's the detail that usually breaks these smart-home-adjacent integrations, glad it's not held together by a fixed IP or manual pairing step.
