Why on-device, donation-supported apps
Two things make these apps different from the tools they replace. First, they run on your Mac: transcription, conversion, analysis and rendering happen locally, so your files are not uploaded to anyone's server. Second, on this site they are fully activated downloads supported by a donation, not monthly subscriptions. You get the whole app, offline, and it keeps working.
Video and audio
- VideoNotes turns recorded lectures into hand-drawn, source-cited study notes, with on-device transcription and OCR, 14 note formats and Anki export.
- Lectern records and transcribes meetings and lectures on-device, with a live transcript, action items, and a full-text searchable archive of everything you have recorded.
- Shorts turns a creative brief into an editable short-form video: a structured first cut with titles and captions, finished on a real multitrack timeline.
- Broadcut is a frame-exact multitrack editor and a scene-based RTMP live-streaming desk in one app, sharing one project and render engine.
Photos and storage
- Sift declutters your photo library on-device: perceptual duplicate detection, blur analysis and screenshot cleanup, with everything recoverable.
- SpaceLens maps your disk as a sunburst and treemap, finds large files, verified duplicates and developer debris, and cleans through a basket with undo.
Files and data
- Recast converts images, video, audio, documents and data across 58 formats and 589 paths, with smart multi-step routing and no uploads.
- Tidyset cleans messy CSV, Excel and JSON with reviewable, reversible, reusable recipes, fully offline.
- Alembic distills messy documents into training-grade datasets: deduplication, PII scrubbing, chunking, tokenization and eight export schemas.
How to get them
Each app has its own page with screenshots and details, linked above. To install one, open its page and use Donate & download: a donation of any supported tier unlocks the fully activated app, with no account and no recurring fee. They all target Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 and later.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Mac apps really subscription-free?
On this site, yes. Each of the nine apps is a fully activated download supported by a one-time donation, with no monthly fee and no account required.
Do these apps work offline?
Yes. They are native Mac apps that do their core work on-device, so transcription, conversion, analysis and rendering happen locally and keep working without an internet connection.
Which Macs do they run on?
They target Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. On-device machine learning tasks like transcription benefit from the Neural Engine on those chips.
How do I download one of the apps?
Open the app's page on this site and use Donate and download. A donation unlocks the fully activated app immediately, with no subscription.
