Radio Toggle App

I’ve made a few tweaks to the Mac menubar app I vibe coded the other day.

Sidenote: I really ick on the term vibe coded. But what else would I call it?

Largely driven by a change to the BBC Radio 2 lineup with Sara Cox now (finally) getting the breakfast gig. It does put her in direct competition with Grimmy on 6Music but at least now I have a choice in the morning, before Laurene on 6Music mid-morning.

Largely inspired by the app I used to build something similar(ish) myself before which my Mac is telling me is about to fall out of support, I used ChatGPT Codex to build a simple radio toggle and on Sunday evening I added Radio 2.

If you want, you can grab it here:

CAVEATS:

  • The app is not signed so once you download and move the .app file to your Applications folder, you’ll be prompted with the usual Mac security question. It’s entirely up to you if you run this app. It works on my MacBook Air, which is currently running the MacOS27 Public Beta.
  • This is not something I will support, I may add to it in the future but this is an app just for me
  • Basically, run this at your own risk.
