question for builders here: what's the smallest tool you've shipped that you actually use every day? for me it's saneclip, couldn't go back to the system clipboard now #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #macOS #PublicCode #SaneSales #SaneApps

Building in public update 🛠️ SaneApps is 7 weeks old. Five apps live. All public code. All on-device. What surprised me most: the privacy community found the project before I found them. Organic shares in r/privacy and r/macapps drove more early users than anything I intentionally did. The public code isn't just a trust signal — people actually read it. Got my first GitHub issue from someone who audited the sandboxing entitlements. That felt right. SaneVideo is next. Local video processing. Nothing leaves your Mac. What are you building? #IndieHackers #BuildInPublic #macOS #IndieDev #FOSS #Privacy #SaneApps #MakerLog #PublicCode

Building SaneApps on three principles: 1. Public code — everything on GitHub, nothing hidden 2. On-device — your data never leaves your Mac 3. One-time pricing — pay once, own it forever No VC. No board. No acquisition plan. Just software built to last. If you're tired of apps that work against you, SaneApps is for you. saneapps.com #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #Privacy #macOS #PublicCode #IndieHackers #SaneApps

Shipped something I needed myself: SaneSales 📊 It pulls from LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, and Stripe — all in one dashboard. Revenue charts, order history, home screen widgets. The interesting technical constraint: all API calls go from your Mac directly to those services. My server is never in the loop. You can verify this in the public code. github.com/sane-apps/sanesales $6.99 one-time. Free to try first. #IndieHackers #IndieDev #macOS #PublicCode #IndieApp

Subscription fatigue isn't a meme, it's a design constraint. every mac utility i ship is a one-time purchase with public source. if i stop maintaining it tomorrow, you still own it, you can still build it, someone else can fork it. that's the bar. everything else is rent. /indiehacker saneapps.com
