What people are saying
"For Maximum Privacy & Security: SaneBar is the unequivocal winner. Its architecture prevents data exfiltration by design. In an era of surveillance capitalism, SaneBar's silence is its loudest feature."
"Great app, I just switched from Ice. I really like its minimalism and simplicity. It just works and very well."
"I've been keeping an eye on this type of software since upgrading to macOS 26, and I'm ready to give it a try!"
"You already have 'Reveal when I scroll up in the menu bar' — exactly how I use Ice. I like it very much!"
"I am using it now and there are no shadow clicks as seen in other menu bar managers."
"Damn! This looks great. I have been desperately looking for a FOSS alternative."
"Best free pick. If you prefer free/open source, SaneBar is a very strong runner-up with thoughtful features — power search, auto-hide triggers, hotkeys, and Touch ID locking."

Built for a Sound Mind
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." — 2 Timothy 1:7
Power
Your data stays on your device. No cloud lock-in. No spying. You're in control.
Love
Built to serve, not extract. No dark patterns. No manipulation. Just useful software.
Sound Mind
Clean, calm interfaces. No clutter, no anxiety. Software that helps you focus.
Common Questions
How do I know you're not collecting data?
Every app is open source on GitHub. Zero network calls. Zero analytics. Audit the code yourself — that's the point.
Do these work on the latest macOS?
Yes. SaneApps are actively maintained and tested on macOS Tahoe. We don't abandon software — that's the whole model.
Can I build from source?
Absolutely. Clone the repo, open in Xcode, build. MIT licensed, always will be. The download option is for convenience and to support development.
Who's behind this?
One indie developer. No VC funding. No board of directors. No acquisition plans. Just software that works because someone cares enough to maintain it.
Open Source ≠ Free
"Free" software usually means one of two things: the developer burns out and quits, or your data is the product. Neither is sustainable.
Open source tools die every year because there's no model to keep them alive. The developer can't afford hosting, can't afford an Apple Developer account, can't afford to keep fixing things. So they stop. And you're left with abandoned software that breaks on the next macOS update.
SaneApps are different: open source AND sustainable.
"The worker is worthy of his wages." — 1 Timothy 5:18
Support the Project
No Big Tech. No investors. No ads. Just one developer building tools that respect people.
Thank you. — Mr. Sane
