Joy
Menu bar celebration tool that tracks GitHub stars, Stripe sales and more, and automatically celebrates each milestone reached.
About Joy
Joy is a macOS menu bar celebration app that lives in the menu bar and automatically monitors the growth metrics you care about: GitHub stars, forks and releases, Stripe sales, Docker Hub pulls and stars, Lemon Squeezy sales, and more. Whenever progress worth celebrating appears, it instantly plays a celebration animation so every bit of growth gets seen. In the native preferences window you can pick what to monitor, customize the celebration style and pace, and preview the effect before enabling it; celebration styles include classic confetti, money burst, coin burst, and ribbon confetti. Every celebration is recorded into the Wall of Wins highlights reel, letting you revisit your project's momentum at any time. The app offers a free version, and you can upgrade to Pro with a one-time purchase.
