Field notes

Hop packages its utilities as a single menu-bar application, with separate Apple Silicon and Intel downloads and a stated footprint of about 3.7 MB. Its timer supports presets, typed or draggable durations, work-rest cycles, and stopwatch mode, while the task tracker records individual work stretches and can show totals by day, week, or project. The system panel covers temperatures, battery cycles, network, disk, memory, and uptime, with alerts surfaced through the menu-bar icon.
