Yosegi (寄木) for Mac

Every Mac utility you pay for, fitted into one app

Small pieces. One beautiful Mac.

Yosegi is the Japanese craft of fitting small pieces of wood into one seamless pattern. Yosegi does that for your Mac.

  • Native Swift app
  • Apple silicon
  • macOS 14 or later
  • Private by default: no account, no tracking

Why one app

One native app instead of a dozen menu-bar utilities.

1App
12+Utilities it replaces

Fewer menu-bar icons. One settings window, one set of shortcuts, one license.

Everything risky is off until you turn it on.

Twelve modules, each one a utility you no longer need.

Switch on the pieces you want; leave the rest off.
