Vorssaint

Vorssaint is a single menu bar app that replaces a stack of paid Mac utilities — per-app volume mixing, hardware monitoring, window snapping, clipboard history, text expansion and screen capture all live behind one icon. Written in Swift, GPL-3.0-or-later, and everything runs locally with no account or telemetry.

brew install --cask vorssaint

Features are modular — each one can be installed or removed individually, and settings export/import carries a setup across Macs.

Privacy and permissions

Permissions are requested only for features actually enabled; unused ones get a notification with a revocation shortcut, and core pieces like the shelf and quick toggles need none. Network access is limited to update checks, the speed test, optional lyric lookup and explicit user actions. Builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized.

Requirements

Apple Silicon only, macOS 14 Sonoma or newer (per the Homebrew cask). Source and releases live in vorssaint/vorssaint-utils; ./build.sh --install builds from a clone, and ./Tools/uninstall.sh removes everything including settings. Localized into 12+ languages.
