I Built This Program in Just 5 Days

And during the middle of this, I'm using a Mac, and I'm not using Swift to write a Mac utility, which you probably should do if you do plan on just doing Mac, but The idea behind all of my stuff on this channel has always been, hey, just make something cool that people can use that will make their life better.

That's how the Windows Utility became the number one PowerShell project, I think, in the world, or at least in GitHub.

I don't know how you judge the popularity of a script, but...

This is pretty damn popular.

As far as GitHub goes, it has the most stars in any PowerShell project.

I started tracking how many downloads we got like about a year, year and a half ago, and we're almost to 10 million.

So a lot, and it's used a ton and mentioned by pretty much everybody these days, and I usually dedicate some time every week to it because I use Windows a lot.

And then the Linux utility, well, that's not PowerShell.

And hell, there's a lot of Bash shell.

But it's actually the foundation, the terminal user interface is written in Rust.

And Rust is kind of a difficult language to use.

But one, I kind of fumbled through and we got this out with the help of many contributors, which I'm about to talk about.

And then Mac Util is something that I just started about five or six days ago.

And we're already to a pretty darn good point in the release cycle of Mac Util.

So what does it look like? You might be like, okay, how good can it be? You've been doing this for not even a week.

Let me just show you.

I'm going to launch it, and this is the utility.

So you select, kind of my idea is to kind of pull a lot of things from WinUtil, but make it Mac-esque, you know? You have like this split panel with different opacities.

I'm trying to match up kind of the Mac style of the settings panel with this.

And you run the script.

It would run the script, install the program, and then kick you out.

Or let's say you want to fix finder, it would go ahead and we'll elevate.

And then do all the defaults to like a list view by default, change some animations, many other things like that.

So it would fix that as well.

So, this is kind of where we're at right now, and I've also made this into a .app file, we're actually doing signing, I'm an official macOS developer, and we even have it notarized through Apple, so actually I could put this on the store today.
