A note from Mark.

I'm Mark. Most of what's here is native Swift — menu bar and desktop utilities for the Mac, and a handful of iPhone apps — plus a few web apps and one game that started as a fake mobile ad I couldn't stop thinking about. Every one of them exists to solve one specific problem better than whatever I was putting up with before.

I ship because I use these tools myself. If it's not good enough for my own workflow, it doesn't leave the lab.

— Markgithub.com/markksantos

The things people ask.

Pricing, requirements, what gets collected, and why most of this is Swift rather than Electron.

Are these apps free?

Every app starts free. 5 are planned with a one-time Pro upgrade and 1 with a monthly one, and the hosted alert services charge for SMS and phone alerts. Each app's page carries its own price. Nothing that is free today becomes paid later.

Do the apps work on Apple silicon?

Yes — every menu bar and desktop app is native Swift, built on Apple silicon. The one packaged download so far, Ghostmark, is an Apple silicon build that needs macOS 26; the others build from source for whichever Mac you compile them on. The web apps just need a browser.

What do I need to run them?

Most Mac apps need macOS 13 (Ventura) or later and some need macOS 14 (Sonoma). The iPhone apps need iOS 16 or 17. The web apps and the game run in any modern browser, desktop or phone. Each app's page lists its own requirements.

Do you collect any data or analytics?

No analytics in any of them. The Mac and iPhone apps keep your data on the device; the few that go online do it for one feature you asked for — HookCut sending audio for transcription, Canary checking a password against Have I Been Pwned without revealing it — and say so on their page. The hosted web apps run on a server, so they keep what the feature needs, like the email address you gave to get an alert. The one ad SDK anywhere is Google AdMob, for the opt-in rewarded ads in BEAROUT's iOS build.

Why native Swift instead of Electron?

For a menu bar utility it isn't close. Electron ships a full copy of Chromium and uses an order of magnitude more memory, and native Swift integrates properly with the menu bar, Touch ID, Accessibility and Quick Look. It's a tool choice rather than a religion, though — Tide's desktop version is built on Electron, because one React core across web, Mac and iOS was worth more than the megabytes.

Can I request a feature or report a bug?

Open an issue on the app's GitHub repository — the fastest route for anything with a repo behind it. For everything else the support page has the current address. Requests that solve a real problem get built first.

Is anything on iOS?

6 apps are built for iPhone: ReceiptLog, Vitality, Workout, BabyHQ, SwipeClean and BEAROUT. None is on the App Store yet. Each one's page shows where it stands, and their privacy, terms and support pages are already up.

Everything here
is checkable.

33 repositories are public. 7 apps you can open or install right now. Start with whichever you trust less.

No spam, no schedule — only when something actually ships. Or just read the source.
