[Article ### Cleat is out: a Mac launcher that answers before you finish typing Cleat is a native Mac launcher: apps, files, clipboard history, window snapping, sums, timers and a local assistant from one keystroke. $49 once, no account, no analytics.](https://karakabakov.com/posts/cleat-mac-launcher/) [Article ### Sunflower: my disk was full and macOS would not say why System Settings says System Data and stops there. A Mac disk analyser that names what is inside it, sizes Xcode by what it really costs, and folds what it cannot prove into one honest row rather than guessing at it.](https://karakabakov.com/posts/sunflower/)

## Let's build something amazing together!

I am a Senior Software Engineer in Skopje, working remotely with teams anywhere — eleven years of React, React Native and Node.js, a good part of it leading the people building alongside me. I take on product work, design systems and technical leadership. Everything here is free and open: the courses need no sign-up, the writing has no paywall, and email is the fastest way to reach me.
