Our apps

Two apps so far, each with its own site and the full details.

Folio’s Home screen: a library of Images, Videos, Music, Documents, Archives and Apps with thumbnails and counts, and Clean Up cards showing space to free.

Files and cleanup

Folio

Every file on your Mac. Finally findable.

A fast, private file finder. Search like you talk (“pdfs from last week”), browse every folder, see where each download came from, and clear out old downloads and duplicates.

  • 3.7 MB download, native Swift
  • Plain-English search that reads inside PDFs
  • Indexes on your Mac, no account

From $9.99 once · macOS 14 or later

Window management

Snug

Every window, fitted snug.

An auto-tiling window manager. Every window you open finds its place, chains run them in one straight line that slides with a key, and plug in a display and your desk comes back.

  • Places a new window in 78 ms (measured)
  • Horizontal and vertical chains, 60 fps
  • No screenshots, no analytics

$14.99 once · macOS 15 or later

Press ⌥⇧Space in any app and a bar rises with what you’re looking at already attached. Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT and more answer right in the bar.

  • About 4 MB, native Swift
  • Every agent’s usage in the menu bar
  • No account, no analytics in the app

How we build

The same four rules for every app.

Native, and small
Written in Swift for macOS. Snug’s download is 2.7 MB, Folio’s 3.7 MB and Beckon’s about 4 MB. No Electron, no web view pretending to be an app.
Pay once
One price, no subscription. Snug is $14.99, Folio starts at $9.99 and Beckon is $39, each with every 1.x update included.
No account
Download, open, use. A license key is all either app needs; there’s nothing to sign up for.
Private by default
No analytics in the apps. Snug never takes screenshots, Folio indexes only on your Mac, and Beckon reads your screen only when you press its shortcut.
