Apps
Buw
A scruffy little focus companion for your Mac menu bar and iPhone. Finish a focus session and Buw glows up into a new form you collect; bail early and Buw gets roasted. Pomodoro and Flowtime, ambient forest sound, stats, and a desktop buddy — all monochrome, all on-device.
KeyPress
Coming SoonKeystroke, click & sound visualizer for macOS. Show every key and click on screen with beautiful animated keycaps — for screencasts, demos, lectures and streaming. Privacy-first: nothing ever leaves your Mac.
SurfPad
The browser iPad never had. Spaces for tab organization, split view for multitasking, command bar for quick navigation, and a built-in ad blocker — a desktop-class browser, built for touch and keyboard.
Focusdim
Visual focus enhancement tool for macOS. Dim backgrounds with color or blur effects, add colored borders, or combine both. Includes multi-monitor support and global hotkey controls.
BetterShots
Screenshot designer for iOS. Transform screenshots with 52 professional gradients, 18 device frames, redaction, markup tools (arrows, shapes & magnifier), and screenshot stitching. Export in resolutions from 480p to 4K.
DeskVeil
Hide desktop icons instantly with one click. Choose from solid colors, blur effects, or wallpaper mode. Perfect for presentations, screenshots, and screen sharing. Multi-monitor support included.
Masochist
The side of your Mac you were never meant to see. It counts every day it has run without a restart, earns titles, suffers through focus sessions with you, and narrates its pain in first person. It never wants to stop.
AltBrowse
Smart browser picker for macOS. 6 picker layouts, auto-routing by domain and source app, and instant default browser switching from the menu bar.
