Apps for people
who are sick of this shit.

Adobe charges $60/month for Photoshop. Mailchimp charges $300/month to send an email. FreshBooks wants $200/year just to let you make an invoice.

We build apps. You donate once. Then you own them forever and we never speak again.

macOS only, no Windows, no Linux, never
PELICAN running on macOS
PELICAN
PELICAN
Invoicing software that doesn't want a cut of every invoice you send. Unlike FreshBooks, which charges you monthly just to press "Send". The pelican has your money in its beak. Then it lets go.
  • Make invoices and quotes without a monthly fee, you're welcome
  • Export to PDF because it's not 1987 and we have printers
  • Client management that lives on your Mac, not someone's AWS bill
  • Runs completely offline because the internet doesn't need to know your business
SILVERBACK running on macOS
SILVERBACK
SILVERBACK
Mailchimp charges you more the more successful you get. You grow your list, they raise your bill. A company so diabolically evil they literally penalise success. SILVERBACK doesn't care if you have 10 contacts or 100,000. The gorilla is angry about subscriptions. You won't have to be.
  • Drag-and-drop email editor that doesn't require a PhD or a credit card
  • Contact & audience management because spreadsheets are a cry for help
  • Sends via your own SMTP, Mailchimp doesn't get a seat at the table
  • Campaign analytics so you can see who ignored you, locally, in peace

Every app we make. Once. Yours forever.

The deal

01 Donate once. Not monthly. Not annually. Not "per seat". Not "per app". Not "per 1,000 contacts". $30 gets you everything we make. Then you own it and we never think about each other again.
02 Absolutely zero support. We have jobs and hobbies and people who love us. Google exists. ChatGPT exists. Stack Overflow exists full of people who are also wrong but in a helpful way. You'll be fine.
03 macOS arm64 only. No Windows. No Linux. No Intel Mac. If that upsets you, please go subscribe to something.
04 AS IS, no warranty. These apps work on our machines. They're virus-free. We're not responsible if they don't work on yours, if your cat sits on your keyboard, or if you somehow manage to invoice yourself.
05 No refunds. Ever. You read four rules and still got here. At this point that's on you. Buy with open eyes or close the tab and go back to paying Mailchimp $300 a month like a normal person.
06 Share it with your friends. We don't give a shit. We hope you'll do the right thing but honestly, who cares so long as these enormous companies aren't getting your money.
