Launch Day Drop

Wake up on launch day with a complete toolkit in your inbox. Ready to build, ready to ship.

Zero-Config CI/CD

A drop-in GitHub Action that builds, signs, notarizes, and staples your app automatically. No manual altool commands.

Sparkle & Updates

Native SwiftUI wrapper for Sparkle. We auto-generate the cryptographic signatures and XML feed on every release.

Hardened Runtime

Security, Sandboxing, and Entitlements are pre-configured to pass Apple's Gatekeeper checks out of the box.

Push to Git → Receive DMG.

No magic.

One GitHub Action handles your entire release pipeline: code signing, notarization, stapling, DMG creation, and Sparkle feed updates. Just push to main.

Universal Licensing Engine

Offline-First. Tamper-Resistant.

Validates licenses locally with ECDSA signatures, then syncs with your MoR when online. Works without network. Supports Lemon Squeezy and Polar today, with more providers coming.

  • Resists common cracks (binary patching, memory editing)
  • API + local ECDSA validation
  • Growing MoR support: Lemon Squeezy, Polar, more soon
