A tiny Mac menu bar app that shoots confetti across your entire screen with a keyboard shortcut.
Press ⌘⇧C → emoji confetti (🎉🎊✨🥳) explodes from the bottom of your screen → disappears after 3 seconds. That's it.
Works on top of every app, even fullscreen ones. No dock icon, no clutter — just a small 🎉 in your menu bar.
Requirements: macOS 14+ and Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)
git clone https://github.com/HugoRS00/CelebrateShortcut.git
cd CelebrateShortcut
chmod +x scripts/build.sh
./scripts/build.shThat's it. The script builds the app, installs it to ~/Applications, and asks if you want to launch it.

./scripts/uninstall.shStops the app, deletes it, and clears preferences. Clean.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No 🎉 in menu bar | App isn't running — open -a "Celebrate Shortcut" |
| Shortcut doesn't work | Open Preferences, re-record it. Must include ⌘, ⌥, ⌃, or ⇧ |
| Build fails | Run xcode-select --install first |
PRs welcome! This is a simple SwiftUI + SpriteKit app — easy to hack on.
