vorssaint/vorssaint-utils
One free menu bar app replaces a dozen paid Mac utilities
Vorssaint bundles per-app volume control, a system monitor, window snapping, clipboard history, screenshot and screen recording editors and more into a single macOS menu bar app. Users install only the features they need, and unused ones are fully removed from the app so they cost no CPU, memory or energy. Everything runs locally with no account or tracking, and the source is open.
What it does
- Combines utilities Mac users usually buy separately, a volume mixer, system monitor, window layout tools, Dock previews, clipboard history, screenshot and screen recording editors, a cleaner and an uninstaller, into one menu bar icon
- A Features hub lets people install or uninstall whole features individually, so removed features stop loading entirely and use no resources, while old settings return if reinstalled
- Documents exactly which macOS permissions (Accessibility, Screen Recording, Microphone, etc.) each feature needs, and flags permissions that are granted but no longer used by anything
- No account, analytics or telemetry; the network is touched only for visible actions like update checks, the speed test, Homebrew, and temporary screenshot or recording share links
- An open-source project (GPL 3.0 or later) that reached the front of GitHub trending and topped the Swift language charts, requiring a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or newer
Why it matters
Anyone paying for several separate Mac utility apps can check whether this free, single menu bar tool covers the same ground, feature by feature. Because it is open source and local-first, developers who care about privacy can verify its data handling directly in the code.
