What is it?

Vorssaint puts a collection of utilities that Mac users often buy separately behind a single menu bar icon. Its feature set covers per-app volume mixing with boost past 100%, a system monitor with CPU, GPU, memory, temperature and battery readings, and a window switcher with live previews.

Window management includes snapping windows into layouts, Dock window previews, and maximize without creating a new Space. Input tools cover smooth scrolling, scroll direction control, text snippets and a clipboard history with search and pinning. Capture tools add screenshots, screen recording, text recognition from the screen and a color picker.

Each feature can be installed or removed individually, and uninstalled features stop loading. The app is local-first with no account, analytics or subscription, and requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or newer.
