Animated GIFs, anywhere you type, from your Mac menubar

A tiny menubar app for the Mac that lives one hotkey away. Hit the key, search a GIF (powered by Klipy or your own local library), click the one you want — it’s on your clipboard, ready to paste into Slack, Messages, Mail, or anywhere else. Apple’s built-in vision tech even lets you search the text that appears inside your stored GIFs. $7, unlocked forever.

Tile & Error

The word game where chaos is the strategy

A Scrabble-style word game where the board is different every time. Randomized bonus squares and Rainbow Squares keep things unpredictable — triggering bonus points, score multipliers, or even swapping your opponent's tiles. Play against friends or AI opponents at four difficulty levels.
