Independent software studio
We make native Mac apps that are fast, focused and private by design, and Ballmac UI, an open-source React component library. We also build product UIs and Mac apps for clients.
The Windows habits you miss, back in one menu bar app. Every feature is a switch.
Free to download · one-time Pro, no subscription · no account
Native Swift apps for Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 14 and later. No analytics, no accounts, one-time purchases.
01New: Acclimach
Alt-Tab for every window, snapping, cut and paste in Finder, a clipboard list, a volume slider for each app and more. Ten features, each one a switch, in one menu bar app instead of ten.
Free to use, with a one-time Pro for $12.99. Curious how it stacks up against Rectangle, AltTab, Maccy and the other dedicated tools? We compared it honestly, including when you should pick the specialist. Read the comparison.

03Principles
These are the rules our code has to follow before anything ships.
No analytics, no trackers, no accounts. What happens on your Mac stays on your Mac.
Built with Swift for macOS, so our apps feel fast, light and at home on your desktop.
We send files to the Trash, not into the void, and we ask clearly before anything is permanent.
Network requests and deep scans run only when you ask for them, with progress you can see and cancel.
Risky items start unchecked and system-critical paths are protected, so the defaults are always the careful choice.
Each app does its job well, with no bloat, no dark patterns, and fair, upfront pricing.
