Design Principles

Keep the public promise narrow

The page should only promise what the current product, review state, and distribution channel can actually support.

Make privacy inspectable

Recordings, settings and logs stay on your Mac. The app does not connect to the internet, collect data, or include ads or third-party analytics. Optional purchases are handled by Apple StoreKit.

Turn the build into teaching material

The product page and diary series should help other builders understand the decisions, tradeoffs, launch work, and mistakes behind the result.

Build Diary

The diary records the product from idea, design, implementation, review, launch, operations, and post-release learning.
