Our apps

Two apps so far, each with its own site and the full details.

Window management

Snug

Every window, fitted snug.

An auto-tiling window manager. Every window you open finds its place, plug in a display and your desk comes back, and you rearrange it all with the mouse.

  • Places a new window in 78 ms (measured)
  • Layouts for laptops and ultrawides
  • No screenshots, no analytics

$14.99 once · macOS 15 or later

AI and productivity

Beckon

Summon any AI agent with what’s on your screen.

Press ⌥⇧Space in any app and a bar rises with what you’re looking at already attached. Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT and more answer right in the bar.

  • About 4 MB, native Swift
  • Every agent’s usage in the menu bar
  • No account, no analytics in the app

$39 once · macOS 26 Tahoe or later

How we build

The same four rules for every app.

Native, and small
Written in Swift for macOS. Snug’s download is 2.5 MB and Beckon’s about 4 MB. No Electron, no web view pretending to be an app.
Pay once
One price, no subscription. Snug is $14.99 and Beckon is $39, each with every 1.x update included.
No account
Download, open, use. A license key is all either app needs; there’s nothing to sign up for.
Private by default
No analytics in the apps. Snug never takes screenshots; Beckon reads your screen only when you press its shortcut.

Why MacMuse builds small, native, pay-once Mac apps

MacMuse makes native, single-purpose Mac apps you pay for once, with no account and no analytics. Here's how those rules show up in Snug and Beckon.
