Indie Mac developer

About

I'm Michael, an indie developer from Ukraine. I build macOS apps focused on privacy and security — no subscriptions, no unnecessary permissions, no data collection. Currently working on Shoo!, an app locker that actually kills the app's process instead of just hiding it behind an overlay. Always happy to chat about macOS security, indie development, or bootstrapping a one-person software business.

Shoo! - Lock any Mac app behind Touch ID — for real

Shoo! locks any Mac app behind Touch ID. Instead of hiding the screen like other lockers, it actually kills the app's process — no flash of content, no bypass by switching desktops. $17.99 one-time, 7-day free trial.
