The idea

One annoyance each. Nothing more.

Each app started as an irritation on my own Mac, and fixes exactly that, nothing else. Privacy is how they're built, not just a policy page: Snipkin, Tweakle and Shakelf never touch the network at all. Quotch reads your usage from claude.ai and Claude's status from status.claude.com, checks GitHub daily for updates, and reads your Claude Code transcripts locally, for the context ring. There is no server of mine in any of them.

Questions

Good to know.

Who makes these?
One person, a solo developer in Romania. That's why each app is small and focused.
Are the apps safe to install?
Yes. Every download is signed with an Apple Developer ID. Notarized by Apple: no “unidentified developer” warning, only the one-time confirmation macOS shows for any app from the internet. None of them sends anything to me: three never touch the network at all, and Quotch talks to Claude and to GitHub for updates, and reads your Claude Code transcripts only on your Mac.
What do the apps cost?
Nothing, right now. Tweakle, Shakelf and Quotch are free, and Snipkin is free during early access with every feature unlocked, no trial, no account. Snipkin will get paid plans later; when that happens it will be said plainly, and in good time.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel, no Rosetta, no Electron.
How do I get support?
Use the contact form, it reaches me directly.
