Cursor Ghana: How I built this with Derrick Tsorme

​Cursor Ghana Community is excited to host a “How I Built This” session with Derrick Tsorme, the creator of Chime, a macOS menubar app that helps users never miss another meeting by showing impossible-to-ignore full-screen alerts synced with your calendars. 

​In this session, Derrick will walk us through how he built Chime end-to-end, from concept to a polished productivity tool used by professionals to stay on time. He’ll break down how he built and shipped features like:

• ​Full-screen takeover alerts that make meeting notifications impossible to ignore 

• ​Smart calendar sync with Google, Outlook, iCloud, and reminders 

• ​Intelligent timing and snooze logic for video calls and tasks 

• ​One-click join for Zoom, Teams, Meet and more 

• ​Local, privacy-first handling of calendar and reminders 

​This is a practical, developer- and product-focused deep dive into building a utility app that blends OS-level integration, UX design, and productivity-driven features.

​Whether you’re building desktop apps, productivity tools, or high-impact utility software, this session will give you clear insights into real implementation choices and workflows.
