From the same workshop

Other projects by Matt Senter

Burly is one of several products Matt designs, builds, and ships end to end. Here's the rest of the lineup, from the same workshop: by Matt Senter of Senternet.

Weatherling

Rain, snow, and autumn leaves on your Mac desktop. Weather effects, not a weather app.

A macOS menu bar app that makes rain fall among your open windows. Drops bead on title bars, gather in the corners, and run down the sides, all at the right depth and without ever stealing a click.

Comoji

Slack-style :emoji: autocomplete, everywhere on your Mac.

A tiny macOS menu bar app that brings Slack- and Discord-style colon emoji shortcuts to the rest of your Mac. Type :liz in Messages, Mail, Notes, or almost any other text field, press Tab, and get a lizard. Everything runs locally on your machine, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.

CommandH

Cmd+H that works on the last app, so you can finally see your desktop.

A tiny Mac menu bar app that fixes an odd macOS rule: you cannot hide the last visible app. With CommandH running, Cmd+H works the same way every time, including on the last app, so you can finally get to your desktop. It asks for no permissions, collects nothing, and is free and open source.

Despacer

Copy long commands from Claude Code and Codex, and paste them in one piece.

A tiny Mac menu bar app for anyone who runs Claude Code or Codex in the terminal. Those agents print real line breaks and indents into long commands, so a command copied from Terminal or iTerm pastes in broken pieces and fails. With Despacer running, the same copy pastes as the one working command it was meant to be. It needs no network access, collects nothing, and is free and open source.

Premail

Your inbox, defended.

A private AI email filter that runs quietly in the background next to whatever mail client you already use, on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Premail sorts, summarises, and acts on mail the way you would, using rules you can read and change. There is no plugin to install, no account to create, and no mailbox handed to a third party.

Highwire

See beyond the headlines.

A news analysis site that groups every article covering the same event into one story, then takes the coverage apart: which narratives are being advanced, which claims each one rests on, what evidence backs those claims, and where the sources diverge. It is not a bias meter. Every conclusion links back to the reporting it came from.

Fix Siri

Hey Siri, do better. A sourced record of Siri failures and Apple’s promises.

An independent archive of Siri failures and Apple’s Siri announcements since 2011. Every entry is sourced, so the record shows the gap between what was promised and what people actually get, alongside practical proposals for an assistant that works. Not affiliated with Apple.

StockCar

A podcast of your portfolio, not the market.

A stock news app that covers only what you actually hold. StockCar watches your stocks, crypto, and forex, then turns the day's news on those tickers into an AI-narrated podcast you can listen to on the way to work. No feed of market noise about companies you do not own, no account required, and free to use.

Orgabot

Orchestrate the work, not just the agents.

An operating layer for work that AI agents and people do together. Orgabot coordinates agents, people, tools, approvals, and gates across an organization, so work moves autonomously where it can and stays explicit and accountable where judgment or sign-off is required. Currently in private alpha.

BeeReady

Lifesaving skills, one game at a time.

A nonprofit teaching kids CPR and AED skills through youth sports. BeeReady runs sessions at leagues and events so young athletes learn how to recognise an emergency and act, building the confidence to step in rather than freeze. Lifesaving skills, one game at a time.

SeedMatrix

Every variety, every trial, one clear comparison.

Independent variety trial intelligence for seed companies. SeedMatrix pulls official trial data together with a company's own plot data across crops, regions, soils, and traits, so a sales team can prove where a variety actually performs under the conditions of the field in front of them. Every data point ties back to a named, dated trial.

Like what I make?

I build Burly and my other apps on my own. If they make your day a little easier, you can tip me on Venmo.
