About the studio
Small studio, serious software.
TrulyUseful is a one-person Melbourne software studio run by Dan Warne — former technology journalist and long-time Mac obsessive. Every app here is built to be the kind of thing you'd recommend to a friend without caveats.
- ⟢ Respectful software. Clear permissions, useful defaults, and no annoying ads.
- ◉ Focused products. Small tools with clear boundaries, shaped around real workflows instead of attention traps.
- ⌘ Native where it counts. SwiftUI / AppKit on Mac, Swift on iOS, and lean web interfaces. No Electron, no bundled Chromium, no 400 MB installers for a menu-bar utility.
- ☘ Boringly reliable. Apps are signed, notarised, auto-updated through Sparkle, and tested on the actual hardware they're going to run on — not just a simulator.
