This app merely acts as a nice UX/UI wrapper to fit the friend.tech webapp into a webview that shows in your menubar.

Prior art

This repo for building a menubar app for friend.tech, has been inspired on Vincent's prior work on his awesome chatgpt-mac app which I've used a lot since he released.

Please do give him a follow on twitter @vincelwt.

OS X Notarization

This app is currently not notarised, so you will probably have to explicitly open it from the privacy and security settings in your mac the first time you run it.

We might offer notarised binaries in the future.
