About
What is Quiet Tools
Quiet Tools is a one-person studio building utility tools for macOS.
We turn small "I wish this were easier" moments into practical tools.
Less hassle. Less thinking. Less time wasted.That is the target.
Principles
Design philosophy
Start with the goal
We define what 'done' means first. Features are included only if they directly support that outcome.
Avoid unnecessary extras
No promotions, no upsells, no feature bloat. The tool supports the user's actions instead of taking control.
Reduce friction
Fewer steps, fewer decisions, less waiting, less setup. Lowering friction is treated as a primary design requirement.
Respect privacy
User data is handled only when necessary for the intended function. No unnecessary collection or tracking.
Built for daily use
Clarity and stability over flashiness. Tools should feel reliable and easy to return to.
Why
Why one person
Working alone is not about moving fast. It is about being consistent about what to build — and what not to.
Convenience does not always come from adding more. Often it comes from removing what gets in the way.
Future
What's next
More utilities, one at a time. Quality and usefulness come before expanding the lineup.
