How we work
One problem at a time
Every project starts with a single thing that annoys us daily. Nothing gets added because it might come in handy later.
Quiet by default
No accounts, no tracking, no notifications you never asked for. A good tool waits in the background until you need it.
Built to keep working
Native where it matters, plain where it can be. Software that still does its job after the next system update.
Projects
What is on the hill
Three apps out in the open, more taking shape.
Monitor Switcher
Your keyboard is the KVM switch.
A macOS menu bar app that switches your monitor input when your Bluetooth keyboard connects or disconnects. One monitor, two machines, no reaching for the buttons on the bezel.

Snoopreme
It listens to the whole room. It tells nobody.
A macOS menu bar app that records your microphone and the audio of other apps at once, transcribes it on your own Mac, and saves plain Markdown in a folder you pick. No servers, no telemetry, no account.

VacationPlanner
Your vacation, now boarding.
A native Mac app for the trip you keep meaning to plan. Paste the Google Maps links you have been hoarding, drag each place onto a week grid hour by hour, then sync the whole schedule to your calendar.

Room Service
Type it. Every room hears it.
An iPhone app that turns what you type into a spoken announcement on your Sonos speakers. Call everyone to dinner without shouting up the stairs, and the music carries on right after.

WYSIWYH
What you see is what you hear.
An iPhone app for blind and low-vision people. Point the camera at a letter, a medicine package or a menu, tap, and hear the key information in a few sentences, or every single word.

More small Mac tools are in the works. If something here solves a problem you have, or you wish it did something else, write to us.
