Freedom by designSource availableNo tracking
Min Tools is a collection of focused apps built to feel at home on the Mac. Each one is written in Swift, runs in the App Sandbox, and has its source on GitHub. No Min Tools accounts, analytics, or servers.
macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon. Free to try, with Mac App Store versions coming soon.
Current apps
Focused tools, each built around one clear job.
Your language assistant for the whole Mac.
Proofread, rewrite, explain, summarize, translate, or look a word up, from a shortcut in any app or from Langmin's own window. Drop a recording, a document, or a screenshot and work with its text. Apple Intelligence on device, or your own API key straight to the provider.
Your clipboard, ready when you need it.
Keep a searchable history of the text and images you copy. Press a shortcut in any app, type a word, and press Return to put the item back on the clipboard. Items marked concealed or temporary are skipped. You choose how long to keep the history, which stays on your Mac.
Network answers without the terminal.
Inspect DNS, routing, local devices, mail, TLS, websites, and ports from one native app. Eighty-four tools with a readable overview beside the raw output, fixed command templates, per-tool time limits, and no Homebrew or extra runtimes to install.
Source available
Every app shown here publishes its complete source on GitHub. What each one sends, stores, and runs is there to read.
Each repository holds the app, its tests, its translations, and its privacy policy.
PolyForm Strict 1.0.0 with added permissions: read and inspect the code, and prepare contributions to the official repository. It is source available rather than open source; redistribution is not permitted, and the names and icons stay ours.
Bug reports, translations, reviews, and focused changes all help, under the contribution terms published in each repository.
No tracking
These apps keep their local data on your Mac and send no usage data to Min Tools. Network requests depend on the features you use: AI providers, websites, network checks, optional iCloud sync, and Apple purchases.
App data stays in each app's own container. Langmin stores API keys separately in Keychain and can sync your Library through iCloud if you enable it.
Langmin connects to the providers and websites you use. Netmin contacts the systems needed for each check. Pastemin never uploads clipboard history.
Each has its own privacy policy. This site generates its privacy pages from those policies and checks that the text matches.
Trials are counted on your Mac. Pro is bought through the App Store, and Apple never shares your payment details with us.
How they are built
AppKit and SwiftUI on Apple silicon, following your Mac's appearance, contrast, accent, and reduced-motion settings.
They run in the App Sandbox with Hardened Runtime and need no administrator access. Pastemin requests Accessibility access only for optional automatic paste.
Use keyboard shortcuts for common actions. Langmin and Pastemin open from other apps; Netmin lets you find tools and run checks from the keyboard.
Each is available in more than twenty-five languages and follows your Mac's language settings. Translations are welcome as contributions.
Each starts with 30 days of full access, without starting a subscription. A free tier remains afterward. Pro is a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, with Family Sharing where enabled.
Langmin, Pastemin, and Netmin currently require an Apple-silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. Each product page lists its current requirements.
No Homebrew or developer runtimes are needed. They include their own helpers; some Apple features may download on-device models.
Min Tools is made by Ilia Ross. Questions and bug reports go to the relevant app's GitHub repository.
Visit each app's repository for progress and launch updates. You can report problems, improve translations, review code, or contribute a change.
Or suggest an improvement in the app's repository. Say what happened and what you expected, and leave out private text, clipboard content, addresses, and keys.
Improve a translation or clarify an instruction. The apps shown here each support more than twenty-five languages.
Small, focused changes and reviews are welcome, under the contribution terms published in each repository.
Tell someone who could use it. A Pro purchase on the Mac App Store supports development.
