A macOS notch app that helps you manage your Mac.

Installation

1. Go to Releases to download the latest version (the zip).
2. Unzip the file and run the Peninsula.app.

Accessibility is required for Peninsula to get the app list and show the notification count. You can also build the app yourself with this GitHub repo.

Features

Cmd-Tab

Replace the default Cmd-Tab with a more useful app switcher. Use cmd + tab to show the app switcher:

• Hold cmd and press tab to move to the next app
• Hold cmd and press shift to move to the previous app
• Hold cmd and press esc to exit the app switcher and do nothing
• Unhold cmd to select the app

This part of code mainly comes from alt-tab-macos.
