A small studio with a big belief that Mac software deserves better.
MacLoveKit is an independent macOS software studio founded in late 2023. We make a handful of Mac apps, and we try to treat your attention, your battery, and your files with the care they deserve.
We think an app should do its job and get out of the way. Not every tool needs to be a platform. Some things are better when they stay simple.
A small studio, on purpose.
We're based in Europe. We use Figma, Xcode, VS Code, and GitHub. No investors, no board meetings. We sell software and that pays the bills.
Three principles, in no particular order.
Software should be quiet.
Nobody needs a notification that you've just shipped a new feature. A good app stays in the background until you need it.
Your files are yours.
Your stuff stays your stuff. When we need a server, we use anonymous accounts and European hosting. The privacy page has the full breakdown.
Ship less, better.
We cut features more than we add them. If something isn't pulling its weight, it goes. Smaller apps are better apps.
A short history.
The studio starts, between freelance projects.
MacLoveKit begins as a side project: a Notes document full of "wouldn't it be nice if a Mac app..." ideas, built in the gaps between client work. The first app takes shape in evenings and weekends.
LumaSpace ships.
LumaSpace 1.0 ships on the Mac App Store. What started as a side project becomes the full-time thing. The freelance work stops.
Four apps, zero investors.
Every app runs native on the Mac. We ship deliberately, and keep the roadmap short on purpose. The conviction that started everything is not gone.
Small promises we make ourselves.
No dark patterns.
No guilt-trip cancellation flows, no surprise charges, no pre-checked boxes. The app should sell itself.
Transparent about what we collect.
We actually wrote down what we collect and put it on the privacy page. It's short, because we don't collect much.
A human reply, within a day.
You email us, a person reads it and writes back. Usually same day. No ticket numbers, no bots.
A refund, no questions.
Don't like it? Tell us within 30 days and we'll refund you. No forms, no "can you tell us why."
Honest changelogs.
When something breaks, the changelog says what broke. When we remove something, we say we removed it. Pretty basic, but a lot of companies don't do this.
Work with us?
If you make things for the Mac and this place sounds like yours, say hi.
