I build small native macOS apps that do one thing and then get out of the way. They live in the menu bar, they don't ask you to make an account, and there is nothing to subscribe to.
Every one of them installs by building on your own machine from source you can read first — which is also why none of them need a signature from Apple to run.
What I've made
Two so far. Both macOS 13 or later, both free.
XWatch
Public IP · menu barWatches your public IP and tells you what the internet actually knows about it. Asks four services at once and says “disputed” when they disagree, instead of picking a winner.
XSweep
Quit everything · menu barCloses every app you have open, in one click. Shows what each one is costing you in memory first, and tells you how much you got back afterwards.
