Thoughtful software,
built one idea at a time.

Private, genuinely native apps for Apple platforms—crafted in Swift and designed around a clear purpose.

Northing Software for Apple platforms

The collection

A growing collection of focused tools.

Everything in one place. Open an app for its features, interface previews and a practical walkthrough.

Drop in video, audio, images, PDFs or whole folders. Pick a format. Press Convert. Nothing gets uploaded.

A transparent Homebrew front end with instant search and the real command behind every button.

Safe, deliberate Mac care. Sweep finds the clutter, then waits for you to choose what goes.

Your MacBook notch, made useful. Media, volume, brightness, charging and connected devices appear exactly when needed.

A fast WebKit browser with blocking built in and extensions from Safari, Chrome and Firefox.

Search what you’ve seen in ordinary language. Your personal memory stays entirely on your Mac.

An instrument for feeling the world—turning live reporting, research and attention into measured findings.

How these are built

Native, or not at all SwiftUI and native frameworks against the current SDKs, designed for Apple platforms rather than merely ported to them, using each system’s design language instead of imitating it.
The work happens on your machine Conversion, indexing, scanning and inference run locally. Recall ships with no network entitlement at all — the proof is architectural, not a promise in a privacy policy.
Show the command If an app does something on your behalf, it says exactly what. Cellar prints the brew command; Sweep vetoes every path before it removes anything; Bellrock shows the numbers a finding was measured from.
A number on screen is measured or absent Nothing is estimated into looking better than it is. If a figure can't be measured, the space says so instead of inventing one.
Verified by testing, not by reading Every app carries checks for the specific ways it has failed before — adversarial path assertions, offscreen renders, real command output. The bugs worth catching are the ones that look fine.

Get in touch

Feature requests and bug reports are genuinely welcome — most of what these apps do came from someone pointing out that the alternative was annoying.
