About Blinken

A macOS menu bar utility that resurrects the HDD activity LED of pre-2010 personal computers. Quietly alive in your menu bar. Free, local-only, MIT licensed. A small red lamp in your menu bar, brightening when your disk is working. Adaptive sampling means it's responsive when your disk is busy and quiet when your Mac is at rest. Warms toward orange when your Mac is leaning on the swap file. Open the dropdown for read & write totals since boot, RAM in use, swap on disk, and the kernel's pressure level.

About Grandpa Games

Grandpa Games is a no-ads collection of memory games, social party games, logic puzzles, and relaxing smartphone skill games. Tablet layouts give puzzle pieces, controls, and shared play more space without making the game feel rushed. Many mobile games rely on ads with tiny close buttons, endless tapping, or mechanics that are more distracting than meaningful. Grandpa Games was made as the opposite: no ads, no brainless clickers, and no pressure to keep watching or buying.
