The work happens on your Mac
Recognition, quota tracking, proxying — all of it runs locally against Apple's own frameworks. An app that does not need a network client does not ship one.
Native apps for macOS
Small apps for your Mac.
Nothing leaves it.
Utilities we wanted on our own machines: one job each, a hotkey away, running entirely on the Mac in front of you. No account to make, no server to trust, no dashboard to check.
Every app here is open source and ships from the same repository it is developed in. If you would rather build it yourself, the source is right there.
The apps

OCR
CropText
Screen to text. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Press ⌘⇧2, drag over anything on screen — a paused video, a terminal, a PDF that will not let you select, even a tooltip that vanishes on hover — and the text is on your clipboard. Recognised on-device by Apple Vision, never uploaded, never written to disk.

Menu bar
SmartRotate
Less quota checking. More flow state.
Your OpenAI and Claude quota in the menu bar, with a local proxy that hands each request to the account with real headroom. Tokens stay in the Keychain and traffic goes straight to the provider — there is no SmartRotate server in between.

More on the way
A VPN client, a Headscale menu bar, and whatever we need next.
Nothing gets a page here until it is worth installing. They show up on GitHub first.

How we buildNothing to sign up for
No account, no licence server phoning home, no analytics SDK. What lands on disk is a handful of preferences, and we will tell you exactly which ones.
Read the source, or don't
Everything is open source, MIT or GPL-3.0. Paying for a build buys a signed, notarised app and the time to keep it good — building it yourself stays free, forever.
