Mac software, one person
Three native apps written in Swift, each with a one-time price. No accounts, no telemetry, no subscriptions, nothing to log into.
Halo · Menu bar manager
Hide what you don't need, search every item by name, and let hidden items peek out when something changes. Notch-aware. Accessibility permission only.
$15 once · 3 Macs · 14-day trial
Eclipse · Notch app
Hover the camera housing and a card grows out of it: now playing, a file shelf, clipboard history, weather, ambient sound, Pomodoro, live system stats. Sixteen tools, one gesture.
$5.99 once · Lifetime updates · Works without a notch
VolTally · Disk analyzer
A native scanner with an honest APFS truth layer: scanned space, free space, and the folders it could not read, stated plainly. List, treemap, or sunburst. Reviewed items move to Trash, never anywhere worse.
$24 once · 3 Macs · Sold on its own site
Everything
Three rules that decide most of the arguments before they start.
Halo asks for Accessibility and nothing else. Eclipse asks for nothing at launch, then asks per feature. Screen Recording is never requested by either, because a manager that can read your screen is a manager that can read your screen.
No analytics, no crash pings, no account. Clipboard history, notes, scans and layouts are files in your Library folder. The only network calls are the ones you can name: weather, and the payment API keys you choose to add.
A utility that sits in your menu bar should not bill you monthly. You buy a version, you keep it, updates come free for the window each app states. If it does not work for you, 14 days gets you a refund.
