macOSOpen sourceMinimize every window, restore your workspace with one hotkey
Open-source macOS menu-bar app that minimizes every open window at once and restores your exact workspace with a single hotkey. No Dock icon, no telemetry, no network — about as light as a Mac app gets.

Menu-bar app that translates or rewrites your selected text in place, in any app, using Apple's on-device model (macOS 26). Formal vs informal (Sie/du), 12 languages, ~600 lines of Swift. No account, no API key, no cloud.

Browser extensionOpen sourceRead AI output at your pace

These apps are a one-person operation run by Kapisch, based in Germany. Every one exists because I hit the problem myself and couldn't find software that respected my time, my privacy, and my wallet at the same time.
I ship under EU law (GDPR-native), I don't sell data, I don't do growth hacks, and I don't run monthly subscription farms. I build tools I'd pay for myself — then I use them every day.
Kapisch — an independent developer operating out of Germany. Every app on this page is built and maintained by the same person, which is why they share one philosophy on privacy, pricing, and UX.
Because I use these tools myself, and I got tired of being billed monthly for software I already paid for once. Free or open source where I can afford it (Minimizer, Easy Write, Unfold AI, the web apps); a small one-time price where there is real ongoing maintenance (Tokens 4 Breakfast, Mac 4 Breakfast, Lumel, SkyLocation Pro). Never a subscription trap.
They share values, not data. Each app runs independently — no cross-app account, no shared telemetry. The only connection is the person behind them and a consistent stance: privacy-first, offline-capable where it matters, and respectful of your time.
On a Mac you use for AI work, Tokens 4 Breakfast shows what your AI stack actually costs. On any Mac, Mac 4 Breakfast and Lumel are quick wins for battery and brightness, and Minimizer clears your screen with one hotkey. Write in more than one language? Easy Write translates in place, on-device. Traveling? SkyLocation. In Germany? TankAlert for fuel and Life Hacks Germany for the bureaucracy.
