marginal utility

Small tools,
made with care.

A macOS studio building focused utilities that get out of the way — and stay there.

the tools

A handful of utilities.
Each one earns its place.

Every tool solves a single, specific problem — and does it with the care you’d expect from software made by people who use it every day.

Other menu bar tools.

Small, open-source utilities that live in the macOS menu bar. Distributed via Homebrew and GitHub.

why we build

Software is a living space.

We think utilities should feel native — like they’ve always been part of your operating system. No splash screens, no onboarding wizards, no personality that competes with yours.

But native doesn’t mean cold. We believe there’s room for a little warmth in the tools you reach for a hundred times a day. A considered animation. A colour that catches your eye just enough. The quiet pleasure of something that simply works.

Building software for other humans to use is, for us, a kind of spiritual practice — an act of care disguised as a utility. We build for developers, designers, and anyone who notices the difference between software that was made and software that was crafted.
