Honest
apps for
the Mac
Each one does a single job well, runs on your device, and keeps your data in plain files you own.
Finally.
No 
accounts.
No analytics.
Nothing 
phoning home.
Just software that does what it says on the tin — on your Mac, with your work in folders you chose, readable by any other app, forever.
Apps that do one job, run on your Mac, and keep your work in files you own.
House
rules
The same eight promises hold for every app we ship. If a feature can’t keep them, it doesn’t ship.
- 01Runs on your MacWriting, transcription, drawing, storage — on-device.
- 02No accountsOpen the app and start. Nothing to sign up for.
- 03No analyticsWe don’t count your clicks, your sessions, or anything else.
- 04Plain filesMarkdown, SVG, audio, PNG — formats any app can open.
- 05Real foldersYour files live where you put them: iCloud Drive, Dropbox, anywhere.
- 06One job, done wellFocused tools with depth, not a suite.
- 07Your keys, your cloudAny network use is opt-in, and runs on your own account and keys.
- 08Nothing phoning homeNot even this website: no trackers, no third-party scripts.
