/// the manifesto
Made for the
first MacBook
generation.
Note · 01
Tiny by design.
No 400MB Electron wrappers. Every app is a native macOS build that opens in under a second and barely touches your battery.
Note · 02
Looks like you.
Customizable, expressive, made by people who care about how a menu bar looks at 9pm with the lights off.
Note · 03
Free first.
5 apps stay free forever. The other 5 let you try Lite — pay only if you keep using it past the honeymoon.
Note · 04
Privacy-first.
Nothing tracks you across the internet. No accounts unless you absolutely need one. Your desktop stays yours.
/// last thing
Open your
MacBook. Smile.
Pick a free drop, try a Lite, upgrade only if you can't put it down. We'll add new things to the shelf every season.
