Small tools. Specific jobs.
Native macOS utilities and experiments made with care—focused on low resource consumption, zero telemetry, and zero cloud dependency.
Milo
Take back control of background processes.
Milo is a local-first macOS utility that finds background processes, launch agents, telemetry daemons and Apple Intelligence services, shows their CPU and memory cost, and lets you stop the ones you did not ask for.
- ✓ Finds hidden background launch agents and daemons
- ✓ Monitors real-time CPU and memory footprints
- ✓ One-click process termination and service control
- ✓ Identifies Apple Intelligence and telemetry services
- ✓ Local-first architecture with zero cloud dependency
- ✓ Clean native macOS interface with zero analytics

LED Control
Native macOS control for WS2812B lighting.
A native macOS menu-bar controller for WS2812B lighting strips. Control colors, brightness, presets and six animated effects while a connected Arduino handles real-time LED rendering over USB serial.
- ✓ Native macOS menu-bar integration for quick access
- ✓ 6 built-in lighting effects: Rainbow, Breathe, Fire, Chase, Gradient, and Cycle
- ✓ Real-time color picker and brightness sliders
- ✓ Custom preset saving and fast switching
- ✓ Arduino Uno / 5V AVR board rendering via USB serial
- ✓ Zero account, zero analytics, local configuration
Hardware requirement: Arduino Uno or compatible 5 V AVR board running the firmware and a WS2812B LED strip. Do not power the LED strip directly from the Arduino 5 V pin—use an external 5 V power supply with a shared ground.

A native macOS screensaver with fixed-grid glyphs, falling illumination, optional CRT effects, phosphor glow, scanlines and smooth multi-monitor rendering.
- ✓ Fixed-grid glyph falling illumination targeting 60 FPS
- ✓ Multi-monitor independent resolution support
- ✓ Optional CRT scanline overlays and subtle flicker
- ✓ Customizable phosphor glow and vignette intensity
- ✓ Native macOS Screen Saver framework integration
- ✓ Lightweight resource usage with no external assets
