menu bar · macOS 15.6+

Eight tools for developers,
in one menu bar app.

A lightweight macOS utility that lives in your menu bar and answers to global hotkeys. No Dock icon, no account, no subscription. Built by one developer for the work he does every day.

— Eight tools

One menu bar icon. Eight things you stop having to think about.

Layout Switcher

Rewrites your last word in another layout. ghbdtn → привет.

01 ⇧⌫

Translator — names

1–10 words → 11 cased variants for code (camelCase, snake, kebab, dot, Title…). Numbered for ⌘1–9 instant insert. Tab cycles synonyms. 11+ words auto-falls-through to direct translate.

02 ⌃⇧X

Translator — direct

Plain translation between 28 configurable languages, any selection length. Source language auto-detected on-device via Apple NaturalLanguage (~50 langs); Google fallback when in doubt.

03 ⌃⌥X

Clipboard History

Text, files, images. Search, pin, paste with ⌘1–9, optional iCloud sync.

04 ⌃⇧V

Pomodoro Timer

25/5-minute sessions in the menu bar. Optional Do Not Disturb via Shortcuts.

05 ⌃⇧M

Password Generator

CSPRNG. Three delivery modes: popup, type into the active field, or concealed copy.

06 ⌃⇧P

Snippet Expander

Short triggers expand to full strings. s@e → support@example.com. Multiline supported.

07 ⌃⇧⌫

Text Tools

25 one-shot transforms: hashes, Base64, URL, JSON, case, ROT13, Unix↔ISO8601, counts.

08 ⌃⇧T

+ Plus the Hotkey HUD — hold ⌃⇧H anywhere to see every shortcut floating over your desktop. → see Hotkeys

— Five extras

Five small things that crept in because they were too useful to leave out.

Keyboard Lock

Locks every key so you can wipe the keyboard without typing junk. Full-screen overlay; three ways to unlock — button, hold ⎋ for 3 s, or auto-timer (1–60 min).

09 ⌃⇧L

Scroll Reverser

Three independent toggles — trackpad, mouse, Magic Mouse. macOS only gives you one global natural-scroll switch; this lets you flip one without touching the others. Doesn't change System Settings.

10 Toggles

Menu Bar Icon Hider

Hidden Bar-style. ⌘-drag the icons you want hidden between the chevron and the dot, click the chevron to push them off-screen. Optional auto-collapse 0–300 s. Opt-in by default.

11 ⌃⇧B

Caffeine

Keep the display and system awake. Pick specific apps and Caffeine stays on automatically whenever any of them is the active app. The ⌃⇧K hotkey and the menu-bar menu toggle a global Caffeine that works everywhere — indefinite by default, or auto-stop after 15 min / 30 min / 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 h as a safety net. EIDevTools' menu-bar icon tints orange while it's active.

12 ⌃⇧K

Cut & Move Files

Cut files in Finder with ⌘X and paste with ⌘V to move them — just like Windows, no more ⌥⌘V dance. Works across Finder windows.

13 ⌘X

+ Each has its own enable toggle and reassignable hotkey in Settings → Bonus. All ship on by default — except the menu bar hider, which is opt-in.

— In action

Four moments you actually use every day.

Translator — code-name variants

Select 1–5 words in your code editor, hit ⌃⇧X — 11 cased variants with synonyms. Tab to cycle.

⌃⇧X / ⌃⌥X11 variants~50 langs auto-detected

Clipboard history — searchable

Everything you copied, instantly searchable. Pin what matters. ⌘1–9 to paste by index.

⌃⇧Vtext · files · imagesiCloud sync

Text Tools — live preview

Searchable dropdown of 25 transforms. Preview updates as you pick.

⌃⇧T25 transformssearchable

Pomodoro — a focused work session

Twenty-five minute focus, five minute break, repeat. The menu-bar dropdown shows the ring and the session count; Do Not Disturb engages automatically.

⌃⇧M25 / 5 minauto-DND via Shortcuts
— Default hotkeys

Everything answers to the keyboard.

Reassignable in Settings. Hold ⌃⇧H any time for the cheat-sheet HUD — try the simulator on the right.

— Install

Two steps you'll only do once.

The build isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and isn't notarized, so Gatekeeper blocks it on first launch. This is normal and clears in under a minute — pick whichever method you prefer.

1

Method 1 — DMG

Recommended
  1. Open EIDevTools-1.2.7.dmg.
  2. Drag EIDevTools.app into the Applications folder.
  3. Open Finder → Applications, double-click EIDevTools. macOS will say "EIDevTools cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software". Press Done.
  4. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down — you'll see "EIDevTools was blocked because it is not from an identified developer". Click Open Anyway and confirm with password or Touch ID.
  5. Launch EIDevTools again — this time the dialog has an Open button.

Method 2 — ZIP

Terminal · faster
  1. Unzip EIDevTools-1.2.7.zip (double-click).
  2. Drag the resulting EIDevTools.app into /Applications.
  3. In Terminal, run:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/EIDevTools.app
    This removes the "downloaded from the internet" quarantine flag that triggers the Gatekeeper block. Double-click launches the app immediately afterwards.

One-time only. After this the app launches with a normal double-click.
