Welcome on this site.

You probably came here for my software. Most public projects I worked on are now discontinued, for various reasons. The ones I still regard as relevant can be found on GitHub, some are also available on Packagist, npm or via Homebrew and/or MacPorts.

In addition to software available through the platforms mentioned above, I previously listed legacy versions of my macOS applications on this site, some of which published more than ten years ago. As of 2026, I doubt that there is a real need for offering software that outdated. If you’re interested in a specific version of any Mac software published by me, just drop me a line (see below) and I’m confident that I’ll find it in my archives.

Privacy

This website does not use cookies.
This website does not use analytics software.
This website does not collect personal information of the users visiting it. The only exception to this is your device’s IP address, which will be stored for a limited amount of time due to security considerations, and after that will be deleted.

If your Mac tells you that software you downloaded from this site cannot be opened, as it is from an unidentified developer, Gatekeeper is only partially right. Yes, I am an unidentified developer (or rather a former unidentified developer, as I hardly write Mac software anymore), but the application can still be opened, at least as long as you did not change your Mac’s security settings.

To do that, do not simply doubleclick the application icon, but use the contextual menu (right mouse button or left button with Ctrl key pressed), then select “Open” and confirm that you want to open the application.
