How we think about the work.

Source-backed explanations of the security, privacy, and release questions behind the software we build and distribute.

  1. Protect the Mac where code becomes action.Why a developer Mac is exposed after a package is installed, and what a scanner at install time cannot see.
  2. AI agents turn text into actions. Guard what happens between.The path from untrusted content to an agent running a command, and where a local guardrail can interrupt it.
  3. Protecting a Mac takes more than one system view.How macOS exposes process, file, persistence, and network activity, and what a protective app is allowed to do with it.
  4. Local-first keeps important work on your Mac.What local-first does and does not promise, and how to test the claim on an app you already have.
  5. What we check before software ships.The four phases every release passes before it is signed, notarized, and published.
