- Native to the Mac — Focused macOS experiences built to feel at home beside system apps.
- Private by default — Your documents, file names, projects, and workflows stay on your Mac. No behavioral telemetry.
- Clear about consequences — Permissions, destructive actions, and product limits are explained before they matter.
- Sustainable without subscriptions — Free tools, useful free editions, and paid-once upgrades where Pro features are offered.
- Small on purpose — Each app solves a specific problem instead of becoming a bundle of unrelated utilities.
