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.
A password manager
In developmentThe 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
PlannedWhere 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.
