Apps with sharp beaks.
Both are native macOS apps. Both keep your data on your machine. Both are named after birds, because the workshop is quirky like that.
Email that you'll want to read.
A fast, simplified, private mail client for even the most overwhelmed inbox. Real people surface first, marketing mail gets re-typeset into something readable, and search speaks a language worth learning: is:human is:unread.
- Instant full-text search, even at 50,000 messages
- Workflows that file, tag, notify, and webhook for you
- On-device AI — Apple Intelligence or your own Ollama
- Opt-in local MCP server for Claude and friends
The missing link in your creative workflow.
A native RAW culler and organizational tool built for speed: a 5,000-photo folder opens in under a second, and every decision is a single keystroke. Behind it, a catalog that remembers your photos wherever the files wander.
- Rate, tag, reject, label. Keyboard-first, build for professionals with sh*t to do
- Projects → Sessions → Sets → Deliveries
- Verified card ingest with streaming SHA-256
- MCP server built in: let your agent assist with importing existing projects, tagging, and organizing
More birds hatch here from time to time. Both apps are free during their betas, and download links live on each app's page.
