All apps

One disk per app. Each installs on your Mac or PC and keeps working with the network off.

House rules

  1. No account, no server.

    Our apps run on your computer and send nothing anywhere. Gander has no networking code at all: camera frames are read in memory and dropped.

  2. One job each.

    Gander moves your keyboard focus to the screen you are looking at. That is the whole app. It lives in the menu bar or system tray and stays out of the way.

  3. Plain about what is unfinished.

    Gander is an early preview and is not signed yet, so your Mac or PC asks you to confirm it once. You hear that from us before you download, not after.
