Independent macOS Studio
We make macOS applications that vanish into your workflow. No friction. No excess. Just software that works.
The LucidBit Standard
We believe the best software is the kind you stop noticing. It works. It stays out of the way. It respects your machine. Nothing added because it was easy. Everything kept because it matters.
Focus & Flow
Awareness over enforcement. GentleLimit shows you where your time goes — and guides you back when you wander, without ever becoming the loudest thing in the room.
System Awareness
Stop guessing why your Mac is warm. ActiveStat shows CPU, Memory, Disk, and Battery Impact honestly — quiet when your system is fine, clear when it isn't.
These aren't guidelines. They're the non-negotiables behind every decision — from the weight of a menu bar icon to the timing of a notification.
Software should disappear
The goal is never to be noticed. The goal is to make the person more capable without demanding their attention. We succeed when you forget we're running.
Light as the material it runs on
Every process exists for a reason. Nothing is added casually. Lightness is not a feature. It is a discipline.
Native, not ported
We build for macOS alone. Every interaction follows the grain of the platform — because tools that fight their environment are tools you fight too.
One thing, done completely
Each app has a single purpose and pursues it without detour. We don't add features because we can. We add them only when we must.
