This Week in StartupBase #27
I've made a decision: I'm done building SaaS apps. From now on, I'm going full time on Mac apps.
So here's my third one, after Flit and Vitals. It's called Levers.
Before you record, share your screen or jump on a call, one click hides your desktop files, the Dock, other apps and the clutter in your menu bar. When you're done, one click puts everything back exactly as it was.
It also puts 15 everyday switches in your menu bar, like Dark Mode, Do Not Disturb, Keep Awake and Mute Microphone.
It's $5 for a lifetime licence right now. That's the launch price, and it goes up to $29 after the launch.
👉 Get Levers for $5
