I’m impressed really neat work! Why did you opt for closed source?

edit: I don’t have a problem with closed source, but when software is expected to be accountable for my security I get a little paranoid, so was curious about the safety and guarantees here. The UX and everything else looks great

Yeah, that’s understandable. Many open source macOS-only apps seem to get abandoned, so I’m trying to build something sustainable.

It uses only 3 dependencies that are very well known and widely used, so supply chain risk is minimal. That leaves me, the developer, as the main point of trust.
