Hey PH! I just released version 1.4 of Bunch. It shines at "context switching" --- setting up your Mac for a specific task or project, automatically. It can launch (or quit) all the necessary applications, change system settings like Dark Mode and Do Not Disturb, run custom AppleScripts, Shell Scripts, and Automator Workflows, and a hundred other things, all configured using plain text files (think DOS batch files, but cooler). It's gotten quite advanced since its early 1.0.0 days, but I've decided to keep it free (donationware) for now. Nonetheless, I'm pretty excited about all the new stuff in it and wanted to share!

What's new? https://bunchapp.co/docs/whats-new/

I've never used multiple desktops, because it seemed too finicky for something that should be simple. I'm a writer (eh) who buys big MacBook Pros because I "need" them for "work" which does make me an *idiot.*

Bunch is somehow incredibly more finicky and more simple through being finicky.

There's so much in bunch like, running scripts, scheduling bunches, conditional logic, execution sequences, and so much more that I don't use and never will.

But like, pressing something to turn on DND, open an app that makes my keyboard sound clicky, and make a new note in Bear? Yeah, I'll do that. I just did it before starting this.
