Side Channel Studios
We're an independent studio building focused, private software for Mac and beyond. Each product does a single thing well and is built to run fast and stay out of your way. Pricing is simple and fair. Most apps are free or a single purchase, and when a product runs an ongoing service for you we charge an honest flat subscription. We publish a privacy policy, support page, and FAQ for every product before it ships.
Platform native
Every product is built with its platform's own tools, not Electron wrappers or cross-platform shortcuts. Fast, lightweight, and native wherever it runs.
Fair pricing
Most apps are free or a single one-time purchase. Subscriptions exist only where software keeps working for you and they stay flat and honest. Never rent for standing still.
Tested and supported
Every product ships with automated tests covering core logic and edge cases. Accessibility reviewed. Dedicated support page and FAQ published before launch.
Focused
Each app solves one problem with a clean interface. We don't chase feature counts. Scope discipline keeps apps fast, reliable, and easy to learn.
Transparent
Every product has a public privacy policy with accurate App Store nutrition labels. No dark patterns. If an app collects data, we say exactly what and why.
On-device only
Our apps work entirely on your device. No cloud processing, no data leaving your machine. When something genuinely needs the network, we say exactly why.
What we're working on
More apps and extensions are in the works and launch regularly. Follow along on the blog, subscribe for launch news, or reach us on our contact page.
