Flock

I build apps for myself and my team whenever nothing out there does the job the way I want. Most of them never leave the office. These three got good enough to leave the nest.

And yes, they’re all birds. Mynahs can mimic human speech, so Mynah is the one that listens to your meetings. The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal alive, so Peregrine is the one that throws your screen onto a TV without the lag. And Odin kept two ravens that flew the world every day and came back with the news, which is basically email with better PR. Hence Raven.

A flock, if you will. (I will.)

Mynah

Meeting notes without a bot sitting in your call. Mynah records your mic and the call’s audio straight off your Mac, transcribes it on the Mac, works out who said what, and writes the notes with whatever AI you already pay for — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Apple Intelligence or your own API key.

Nothing joins the call. Nobody has to admit the bot.

brew install --cask fahadjibransheikh/flock/mynah

Needs an Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Releases and downloads

Peregrine

Puts your Mac’s screen (and sound) on a Google Cast TV, right from the menu bar. No Chrome, no extension. It speaks the same real-time Cast protocol Chrome does, so the TV keeps up with you instead of trailing a couple of seconds behind.

Built for the meeting-room TVs at our office. Works on yours too.

brew install --cask fahadjibransheikh/flock/peregrine

Needs an Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Releases and downloads

Raven

Email, calendar and contacts for Gmail, Outlook and plain old IMAP, in one app that keeps everything on your own machine. Raven talks to each provider directly — no company in the middle holding a copy of your inbox.

It’s my main email client. Every day, all day.

brew install --cask fahadjibransheikh/flock/raven

Runs on Apple Silicon Macs and on x86-64 Linux. Releases and downloads

Installing

Use Homebrew. The apps aren’t notarized by Apple yet, so a straight download gets you a scary macOS warning (it’s fine, I promise). The Homebrew install clears it for you. No Homebrew? brew.sh, one command.
