Local-first macOS attention center

One quiet menu bar for signals worth noticing.

AnySee watches the small set of checks you choose and only lights up when a local source says something needs attention.

No cloud account No model API calls No credential storage in config

Built for attention debt

Not a notification center. Not a dashboard. Not a feed.

AnySee is for operational signals that deserve a glance but not a new SaaS habit: backups, local scripts, health endpoints, build checks, personal workflows, and the odd reminder that should not disappear into Notification Center.

The first version is intentionally small: a native macOS menu bar app, local TOML config, manual/http/script sources, and actions that open, copy, snooze, dismiss, or run commands directly.

Signal sources

Start with files you can inspect.

manual

Pin the rare thing

Static signals for tasks that should stay visible until you act.

sources/welcome.toml

http

Watch a health value

Check a status code or JSON field and create one sparse signal.

json_path = "status"

script

Let your Mac decide

Run a local executable and parse Signal JSON from stdout.

scripts/*.sh

First launch shape

A short path from idea to visible signal.

01 Choose what matters
Keep the watch list sparse enough that every signal can earn a click.
02 Use local config
TOML sources live under Application Support with readable examples.
03 Act from the popover
Open a URL, copy text, snooze, dismiss, or run a command without a shell.

Join the small launch list for AnySee. I will use this only to send build availability, setup notes, and a few product questions.
