It's nothing big. I wanted an offline natural language to cron/cron to natural language translator and I wanted to get some experience building MacOS apps. It's not vibe coded, but I did get good help from Claude since it's my first time building MacOS apps. It's free and no data is collected.

What's it like building native MacOS? SwiftUI or UIKit or?

I used SwiftUI.

I went full TDD with the app so it was easy enough to build the logical parts of it. The UI is fairly simple, but whenever I found that Claude did not understand exactly what I wanted, I gave it a screenshot/image of a design and it did things pretty well.
