wtf is money-mission-terminal?

Money Mission is a small Mac menu bar app for tracking progress toward a money goal, such as savings or income targets. Once running, it shows a money icon and a percentage in the menu bar at the top of the screen, so your progress is visible any time you glance at your Mac. Clicking the icon opens a dashboard with total money earned so far, your daily pace, days remaining, and a projected finish date based on that pace. The README describes itself as built by someone who is not a professional developer, with help from Claude AI to write the code, and it is a single Python script rather than a packaged application. Setup is entirely manual through the Mac Terminal: install Python 3, download the script, open it in a text editor to set your target amount and start and end dates, then use the pip package manager to install a library called rumps, which is what lets a Python script live in the Mac menu bar. The README also walks through moving the script into a permanent folder and creating a startup file so the app launches automatically every time the Mac restarts. Using the app day to day means clicking the menu bar icon, adding a revenue entry with an amount and description, and watching the percentage and stats update immediately. All data is saved locally on the machine, so progress is not lost when the app restarts. This is aimed at individual Mac users, particularly freelancers or people running a side project, who want a simple always visible reminder of progress toward a specific money goal, rather than a full accounting or budgeting tool.
