The rules every app follows
Apps that sit in your menu bar all day get a lot of access. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.
Private by design
Processing happens on your Mac. No telemetry, no tracking, no accounts. What you capture stays with you.
Native through and through
Written in Swift for Apple Silicon. No Electron and no Rosetta, so it's light on memory and battery.
Pay once, or nothing at all
One price, no subscription, and every update to the version you bought is free. Novantia Kit is free.
Signed & notarized
Every release is Developer-ID signed and notarized by Apple, and asks for the fewest permissions possible.
One studio, focused tools
Each app fixes one thing that slows you down on a Mac, and they work well side by side.
DockPeek
See and control every window from your Dock.
Hover over a Dock icon to see live previews of its windows, then click to switch or close one. On top of that: Aero-style snapping, tiling from the keyboard, and moving a window by dragging anywhere inside it.
- Live Dock previews
- Window snapping & tiling
- Keyboard & modifier moves
TextLift
Turn any screenshot into text, tables included.
Press a hotkey, select a region, and TextLift lifts the text to your clipboard. Its wedge is structure: real tables come out as Markdown, CSV or Excel, not a jumbled blob.
- On-device Vision OCR
- Tables → Markdown / CSV / Excel
- QR & barcode reading
PDF Kit
Edit, OCR and redact PDFs, all on your Mac.
A complete native PDF editor. Retype text right in the page, reorder, merge and split pages, annotate and fill in forms, make scans searchable with OCR on your Mac, pull tables into Excel, sign and protect. Redaction is real: the text is removed, not just covered.
- Edit text in the page
- Annotate, sign & fill forms
- OCR, tables & redaction
