Drop in photos or video of any object or scene — it aligns the cameras, trains the model, and renders a photorealistic 3D reconstruction, all locally on your Mac's GPU. No Python, no CUDA, no cloud. Simple Mode for one-click results, Scene-Class Presets (Render/Outdoor/Indoor), and full Expert control. Export to 6 formats, orbit videos, and web viewers. M1+, $7.99 one-time, 3-day trial.
Preview folders and archives the way Quick Look was meant to work. FolderPlus supercharges your Mac's Quick Look with rich, instant previews for folders and compressed archives. Just press Space on any folder or ZIP file to see exactly what's inside—no clicking, no waiting, no extracting. It's the missing feature Quick Look always should have had, built natively for macOS and designed to disappear into your everyday workflow.
A tiny toolbar that floats above Apple Mail and sorts your inbox in one click — a single message, the whole thread, or every email from that sender, off to a folder, the archive, or the trash. It quietly learns where things usually go and starts suggesting the right folder for you.
A frictionless, local-first Mac app to index and search all your screenshots and image assets. Built with Rust/Tauri for zero footprint and powered by native macOS Vision for 10x OCR accuracy. Optional cloud, no tracking—just pure utility.

With a strong focus on product design and user experience, we're just getting started on building the quickest and sweetest way to work with your Mac.
You know the file exists. Spotlight can't find it. Stella can. Just describe it, "my cheat sheet for the final exam," "the product spec from last week's meeting" and Stella finds it.

Like Google Photos, but fully local. Turn the terabytes of video, audio, meetings, and files you work with into searchable memories, without uploading anything to the cloud. Clipto automatically tags people, dialogue, and scenes, so you can instantly find any moment buried in your media just by describing what you're looking for. It's fast too: on a MacBook Pro M5, Clipto indexed 2TB of videos in just 24 hours.

Quakpit is a macOS menu bar app that connects to your calendar and sends an animal-piloted plane flying across your screen before your meetings start.

Free to download & open source. Connect your calendar, pick your animal, never miss a meeting.
