TuneOwl is a premium macOS utility designed to monitor, analyze, and optimize your Mac’s performance. From deep storage scans to one-click memory pressure relief and startup management, keep your Mac running like the day you bought it.
Capture and isolate audio from multiple macOS apps simultaneously. AppAudio runs locally in your menu bar, letting you isolate apps like Safari and Zoom independently, transcribe the audio with on-device AI, and save the files with complete privacy.
Privacy was the #1 rule when building neighOWL. Since it's a hyperlocal forum, I needed location, but I refused to store it.
solution: The browser captures the GPS, rounds it heavily (blurring it to about a 1km zone), generates a zone hash, and only sends the hash to the database. The exact coordinates never leave your device. Even as the creator, I can't see where you are.
Anyone else building privacy-first tools? What trade-offs did you have to make?
