Short bio: Michael Everette is an independent macOS developer and the founder of QuietWare.

Michael Everette is an independent macOS developer and the founder of QuietWare. He builds focused Mac utilities inspired by small workflow frustrations, with an emphasis on privacy, ownership, thoughtful design, and one-time pricing.

Overview

Small Mac apps for specific workflow problems.

QuietWare is not trying to be a giant all-in-one productivity platform. The studio builds small, focused utilities that solve particular moments of friction: keeping active files nearby, restoring a project workspace, making reminders harder to miss, customizing the desktop, tracking screen time, journaling privately, or adding a little visual personality to macOS.

The common thread is ownership. QuietWare apps avoid required accounts, paid apps use one-time pricing, and local-first behavior is used where it fits the app and the workflow.
