Real utility, no nonsense

Small apps that do one job well

A growing set of tools for video, files, servers, audio, and archives. Most are open source, none of them want an account, and every desktop download can be verified before you run it.

Featured

Start with these

Three of the apps people reach for most. Each one is a single page away from a download.

The ROSI desktop app with a download in progress

ROSI

Video downloader for YouTube and 1000+ sites

A modern, cross-platform desktop app for downloading videos with ease.

Ballad's mixer open in the macOS menu bar on a MacBook, with a volume slider for the Music app

Ballad

Per-app volume control for macOS

A Mac App Store audio mixer that sets the volume of each app separately. Turn one app down, another up, or mute it outright, from the menu bar.

The S3 Sidekick desktop app browsing a bucket as folders and files

S3 Sidekick

A fast, friendly S3 file manager

Manage AWS S3 (and any S3-compatible) storage with a modern desktop app.

By what you need

Pick one, or pick them all!

Every app on rosie.run, grouped by the problem it solves.

Video

Pull a video down, or convert one you already have.

Files and archives

Zip, unzip, and browse without a subscription.

Servers and storage

Reach your own machines and buckets from anywhere.

Audio and playback

Mix what is playing, or just play the file.

Writing

Somewhere to put words that will still be there tomorrow.

No bloat

Tools that get out of your way

Each app starts with one annoyance and fixes exactly that. No launcher, no dashboard, and no second app you did not ask for.

Mostly open source

7 of 9 apps are open source. The premium ones are labelled, priced, and supported directly.

Cross-platform where it counts

Windows, macOS, and Linux for the desktop apps, iPhone and iPad for the Apple-only ones, and the browser when a download is overkill.

Verified builds

Desktop downloads ship with SHA256 checksums and GPG signatures, so you can check a file before you run it.
