From the README
One menu bar icon doing the job of a dozen paid Mac apps.
Free, open source, and everything runs on your Mac.
For anything private, email [email protected].
Per app volume, a real system monitor, a better app switcher, window snapping, Dock previews, clipboard history, text snippets, a file shelf, an uninstaller. The utilities Mac users usually buy one by one, together behind a single menu bar icon, with no account, no telemetry and no subscription.
Nobody needs all of it, and Vorssaint is built around that. The Features page installs and uninstalls whole features: what you uninstall disappears from the entire app and stops loading, so it spends no CPU, memory or energy. Nothing is deleted, and installing again brings your old settings back.
First setup offers three one click bundles, Essentials, Windows, and Battery and quiet, plus a visual picker for choosing individual features. Only the permissions those choices need are requested next, and everything can be changed later in Settings. Every feature also wears an honest energy badge saying what it keeps alive while on.
The rest bends the same way: panel sections reorder and hide, the compact layout trades sections for tabs, settings export to a file and import on a new Mac, the app can stay light or dark apart from the Mac, and the whole app speaks more than a dozen languages.
