Independent macOS software
Native Mac apps that
punch above their weight.
SKJ APPS is a one-person studio making small macOS utilities. You buy them once and own them, with no subscriptions and no accounts. Nothing you do in them leaves your Mac.
macOS 26 (Tahoe) · Apple Silicon · Apple-notarized · One-time purchase
Two apps out now. More on the way.
Each one is native to macOS 26, signed with an Apple Developer ID, and notarized by Apple.
A set of upgrades for the macOS Dock: transparency and tinting, per-app custom icons, badges, magnification, recents, window previews, and a ⌘-Tab switcher replacement.
dockapp.app →
Hides the clutter in your menu bar without Screen Recording, and folds a clipboard history, mail, notes, launchers, and live AI-usage tracking into one app.
mistbar.app →
Custom trackpad gestures without the overhead. It's event-driven rather than polling, so idle CPU sits near zero. A lighter alternative to the usual gesture apps.
Adds the file actions Finder's right-click menu is missing: Move-to and Copy-to your favorite folders, quick trash, and more.
Gives every app its own notification sound, so you know who's pinging you without looking. An optional screen flash covers the alerts you can't miss, and helps if you don't always hear them.
Native, not ported
Written in Swift and AppKit, directly against macOS. No Electron and no cross-platform wrapper, which is what keeps them small and quick.
Buy once, own it
One-time purchase, never a subscription. Updates stay free within a version, and the license is yours to keep.
Private by design
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Your data stays on your Mac, because there's no server for it to go to.
An independent Mac studio.
SKJ APPS makes small native utilities for macOS. Each app is built to do a single job well and then get out of the way, so using it feels like a normal part of the system rather than one more thing to manage.
Every app is signed with an Apple Developer ID, notarized by Apple, and sold directly rather than through the App Store. SKJ APPS is independent, based in the United States, and not backed by anyone.
