Flack – Tracking Data Poisoner Status: In Development The Problem Ad-tech trackers follow you across the web, building profiles from your behavior, interests, and personal information. Traditional ad blockers simply block tracking requests, but tracker networks can detect blocking and employ workarounds. Our Approach Flack takes a different angle. Instead of blocking trackers, it floods them with fake data. When a website sends a real tracking request, Flack intercepts the completed request and fires off 5-15 additional fake requests with randomly generated but realistic-looking data. The real signal gets buried in noise. ...

We’re releasing Less is More, a native macOS app that makes your consumption visible. Drop your bills, receipts, and statements into it, and AI extracts every line item, amount, and consumption quantity. It tracks not just money but also electricity, gas, water, and waste — so you can see the full picture of what you use and what it costs. The problem it solves You probably have a rough sense of what you spend each month. But can you answer: how much electricity did you use last quarter compared to the one before? Is your water bill trending up? Are you still paying for that subscription you signed up for a year ago? Did your insurance premium increase at renewal? ...

Triage 1.1 is out — and the source is now public. The app formerly known as Mail+ has a new name, a new icon, and three features we’ve been wanting since we started using it ourselves. What’s new Send + Follow Up (Cmd+Shift+S) — send a message and automatically create a 1-week follow-up reminder. Triage captures the subject and recipients before sending, then polls the Sent mailbox to include a message:// deep link so you can jump straight back to the conversation when the reminder fires. No more manually creating follow-up tasks after sending an important email. ...

Updated June 2026: Triage (formerly Mail+) is now open source with automatic updates, send-and-follow-up reminders with deep links, / to search, and a new icon. See the product page for full details and GitHub releases for the changelog. We’re releasing Triage, a native macOS menu bar app that adds power-user features to Apple Mail. It brings Gmail-style single-key keyboard shortcuts, one-keystroke sender and domain blocking, email-to-reminder conversion, and an account dashboard with activity history — all without replacing your email client. ...

We’re releasing Survey, a native macOS tool that shows you what your computer reveals about itself through Bluetooth, WiFi, and location services. What it does Your Mac is constantly broadcasting and receiving signals. Bluetooth beacons from nearby trackers and smart glasses, WiFi probes from networks around you, location data leaking through permissions you may have forgotten about. Survey makes all of this visible. It has three tabs: Bluetooth — scans for nearby BLE devices using a database of ~130 device signatures. Categorizes what it finds (trackers, glasses, wearables) and assigns threat levels. High-threat devices trigger desktop notifications. WiFi — grades your current network’s security (A-F), fingerprints the access point type, scans nearby networks, and audits your saved networks against ~90 known suspicious SSIDs. Location — computes a privacy exposure score based on your permissions, Bluetooth state, and network security. Maps your location history and links to macOS privacy settings. Why not just block everything? Survey isn’t a blocker. It’s a visibility tool. You can’t make good privacy decisions without first understanding what’s happening. Survey shows you the landscape — which devices are nearby, how secure your network is, what your location permissions expose — and then you decide what to do about it. ...

We’re releasing Tapped, a native macOS network dashboard that shows you exactly where your computer is talking — which apps, which destinations, how much data, and for how long. The gap it fills Most people have no idea what their Mac is doing on the network. You could fire up Wireshark, but that’s a firehose of raw packets aimed at network engineers. You could check Activity Monitor, but its network tab is minimal. Tapped sits between the two: enough depth to be useful, enough clarity to be approachable. ...
