Ask HN: What's your Mac OS App side project?

I'm curious if any HN'ers here have any fun mac os projects they've built or even have an income from? I feel like we hear a lot about saas and iphone apps, but not mac os apps as much. I have a mac os app idea, and I'm also wondering if anyone knows of a good book on building a mac os app business? Or perhaps a book on building an iphone app company would be sufficient and applicable to mac os?

Looked into building an FTP GUI for MacOS, but I found that there aren't any easy options for programmatically doing SFTP in Swift. Best option looks like it's SwiftNIO which is fairly low level.

FTP is easy. I don't have idea how SSH is works. So I too abandoned the project last year.
