Make your Mac clack

FunKey 3.0 turns your Mac into a pretend mechanical keyboard and mouse. It sits in your menu bar and plays realistic key and click sounds instantly as you type or tap, so coding, writing, or doom-emailing has a bit more texture to it without buying another board. Lightweight, native, nothing fancy to set up, just pick a sound profile and get on with it.
🔥 Our Take: Mechanical keyboard brain is real, but not everyone wants to drag a heavy, RGB brick to every desk they use. This gives you the audio hit with zero desk rearranging and zero coworkers asking why your typing sounds like construction. Tiny product, very specific joy.
Time zones where you work

Time puts the cities you care about straight into your Mac menu bar. Add teammates’ locations, see their local time at a glance, and pop open a simple dropdown when you need more detail. No widgets, no dashboard, just the clocks you actually use.
🔥 Our Take: I just want to know if it is 7 am or 11 pm before I ping someone. This fixes that in the least dramatic way possible, which is exactly what a time zone tool should do.

Your software needs to be compliant to win deals. But you also need your engineers focused on building your product – NOT pulling SOC 2 evidence.
Enter a third option: make Vanta your first security hire.
Vanta uses AI and automation to get you compliant fast, simplify your audit process, and unblock deals — so you can prove to customers that you take security seriously.
Plus, Vanta scales right along with you, backed by support that's there when you need it, every step of the way.
That's why top startups like Cursor, Linear, and Replit use Vanta to get — and stay— secure.
Don’t SOC-block your best engineer. Set them free and get compliant fast with Vanta.
Contacts, not content

ConnectMachine helps you remember people, not grind a feed. You make different digital cards for different hats you wear, share only what you want, and it quietly enriches and organizes your network in the background. When you need someone, you can search by name, context, or “who did I meet at that event,” instead of digging through DMs and old emails.
🔥 Our Take: Most “networking” tools want you posting, hustling, and pretending every interaction is personal branding. This is closer to what normal humans actually need: a private brain that remembers who’s who, so you can just be a person again when you reach out.
