Vorssaint

Vorssaint is a free, open-source Mac app that replaces a whole shelf of paid utilities with one menu bar icon. It bundles tools like a volume mixer, a system monitor, a better app switcher, window snapping, clipboard history, screenshots and screen recording, a cleaner, an uninstaller, and more, all running locally with no account and no subscription.

What sets Vorssaint apart is how you install it. Instead of loading every tool whether you use it or not, you turn features on or off from a Features page. Anything you turn off stops running completely, so it uses no CPU, memory, or battery. Turn it back on later and your old settings return.

The app is built for privacy from the start. There's no analytics or tracking, and every permission it asks for is optional and explained in plain language, along with which features actually use it. It's open source under the GPL license, so anyone can look at the code or build it themselves.

Key Features:
  • Volume mixer with per-app sliders, plus separate outputs for music and calls
  • System monitor showing CPU, GPU, memory, temperatures, and battery health
  • App switcher with live window thumbnails and window snapping to halves, thirds, or corners
  • Clipboard history, text snippets, and a file shelf for dragging items between apps
  • Screenshot and screen recording tools with a built-in editor
  • A Command Bar for launching apps, running actions, and searching files from one shortcut
  • Cleaner and uninstaller tools that remove app leftovers, caches, and logs
  • A Homebrew manager for installing and removing packages without using the Terminal
  • And More

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vorssaint free?

Yes. Vorssaint is completely free and open source, with no account, subscription, or paid tier. The developer accepts donations through Buy Me a Coffee if you'd like to support the project.

Does Vorssaint work offline?

Yes, for the most part. Vorssaint runs locally and only reaches the internet for things you can see, like checking for updates, running a speed test, Homebrew actions, or temporary links you create for a screenshot or recording.

Is Vorssaint safe to use?

Yes. Builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens them without warnings. Every permission it requests is optional, and the app tells you which features use each one, plus warns you if a granted permission is no longer needed.

Which Macs does Vorssaint support?

Vorssaint needs an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer. It doesn't support Intel Macs or older versions of macOS.

Is Vorssaint available on the Mac App Store?

No. Vorssaint is installed through Homebrew or by downloading it directly from the project's home page.
