Why I build

First-of-their-kind Mac apps that push productivity beyond the macOS defaults.

I build original tools that remove long-standing annoyances and unlock capabilities macOS does not provide on its own, without sacrificing the native experience.

Beyond the defaults Built around real friction Native at heart

2008 Fixing macOS since

The DockScope story

Built for my own Mac. Refined for more than a decade.

Since 2008, I have been fixing macOS for myself, using other tools where they helped and creating my own where they did not. I share some of those discoveries in Mac App Stories.

DockScope is one of my earliest projects. I created it more than ten years ago and have used it ever since. It became part of my daily workflow, and now I am preparing it for everyone as DockScope.app. I will make it public only when it meets the high standards I set for every app I release.

Current status

Thoughtfully in progress

Features are being designed, built, and tested with a focus on a polished macOS experience.
