Mac software

Small apps that mind their own business.

SumoApps is a handful of native macOS apps written by one person who wanted tools that start instantly, do one job, and don't phone home. No telemetry, no ads, no trackers, no cloud you didn't ask for.

The apps

One shipped, two on the way.

ShotSumo app icon

ShotSumo

On the Mac App Store

Capture a region, a window or a whole screen from the menu bar, annotate it, pixelate anything that shouldn't be shared, then copy or save it. Free, sandboxed, and shipping with no network entitlement at all.

A password manager

In development

The same idea applied to the thing that deserves it most: local first, no account to create, and no vault sitting on somebody else's server as a condition of using it.

A personal finance tracker

Planned

Where your money goes, worked out on your own machine — without handing a third party a read-only feed of your bank account to do it.

The rules

What every app here has in common.

These are not marketing lines picked per product. They are the reason these apps exist, and the first one that gets broken is the day this stops being worth doing.

  • NOTelemetry. No analytics, no usage statistics, no crash reporting.
  • NOAds or trackers. No third-party SDKs of any kind.
  • NOMandatory cloud. Your data lives on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded as a condition of the app working.
  • NOAccounts. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into.
  • YESNative code. Swift and Apple's own frameworks. No bundled browser, no cross-platform runtime.
  • YESPaid tiers, eventually. Sold through the App Store, optional, and announced before they exist — never a feature quietly taken away from you.

Who's behind this. One developer, working on these in the evenings. Each app ships with its own privacy policy and terms stating exactly what that app does and does not do — read the specific product's pages rather than trusting this one, because this page is the marketing and those pages are the commitment.
