Shipyard — Projects in your notch
Pin and launch dev projects from your Mac’s notch
Shipyard turns your MacBook’s notch into a shelf for the projects you’re actively working on. Add a project by dragging in its folder or running ship add then open it instantly in Finder, Terminal, Claude Code, Codex and more. You can also configure a start command for each project, so it launches already running. Shipyard automatically finds an icon inside the project, generates a fallback based on its name or lets you choose a custom one.
Hey Product Hunt!
I built Shipyard because I work on several projects at once and got tired of constantly navigating through folders in Finder or using cd every time I wanted to open one.
I know there are already many notch apps, and some of them are really cool, but I wanted something focused on my specific use case. I didn’t need weather, Spotify or access to existing Claude sessions in my notch. I just wanted a project shelf.
The same way we use the Dock to open apps, Shipyard lets you pin your active projects and instantly open them in Finder, Terminal, Claude Code, Codex and more.
You can add projects by dragging and dropping their folders into the notch or by running ship add . from inside a project.
You can also configure a start command, so opening a project can automatically run its development server or any other command you need.
Shipyard scans the project folder for an icon automatically. If it can’t find one, it creates a fallback based on the project name, and you can always set a custom icon too.
I originally built it for myself, but I thought other developers working across multiple projects might find it useful too.
I’d love to hear your feedback!
