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/100% Transparent Code, SaneBar is a very strong runner-up with thoughtful features — power search, auto-hide triggers, hotkeys, and Touch ID locking."

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 public code on GitHub. On-device by default, no tracking, and no subscriptions.
Do these work on the latest macOS?
Yes. SaneApps are actively maintained and tested on macOS Tahoe. I don't abandon software — that's the whole model.
Can I build from source?
Absolutely. Clone the repo, open in Xcode, build. PolyForm Shield licensed with public code. The download option is for convenience and to support development.
What happens after I pay with crypto?
Send your payment, then email [email protected] with the transaction ID or screenshot and the app you want. I verify it and reply with your download details.
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.
Public Code ≠ Free
Great public-code tools die when developers can't sustain them. 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: public code and sustainable. Every app is on GitHub. Audit the code, build from source, or download the signed app for $6.99 and support continued development.
"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
