Heaven8

Mac & iPhone software

Small apps that mind their own business.

Heaven8 is a handful of native Mac and iPhone apps written by one person who wanted tools that start instantly, do one job, and don't phone home. No telemetry, no ads, no trackers, no cloud you didn't ask for.

The apps

Two shipped, two still in development.

ShotSumo app icon

ShotSumo

On the Mac App Store

Capture a region, a window or a whole screen from the menu bar, annotate it, pixelate anything that shouldn't be shared, then copy or save it. Two weeks free, then one yearly subscription. Sandboxed, no account, no telemetry.

Finsumo app icon

Finsumo

On the App Store

A multi-currency expense tracker for iPhone. Record what you spent in dollars, baht, dong, USDT, USDC or Bitcoin and read the total back in whichever currency you think in — each entry keeps the rate it was made at, so your history never re-prices itself. On-device, offline-first, no bank-account linking.

PassSumo app icon

PassSumo

In development

A password manager built on the open KDBX format: local first, no account to create, and no vault sitting on somebody else's server as a condition of using it. Your .kdbx file lives in iCloud Drive or on local disk, wherever you put it.

Overview Support

Deep Happy app icon

Deep Happy

In development

A menu-bar player for internet radio that keeps playing through a VPN reconnecting, a lid closing, or a socket that stalls without reporting it, instead of saying "playing" while making no sound. Deep Happy on one Mac can also drive Deep Happy on another, so the machine with the speakers doesn't have to be the one you're sitting in front of.

The rules

What every app here has in common.

These are not marketing lines picked per product. They are the reason these apps exist, and the first one that gets broken is the day this stops being worth doing.

  • NOTelemetry. No analytics, no usage statistics, no crash reporting.
  • NOAds or trackers. No third-party SDKs of any kind.
  • NOMandatory cloud. Your data lives on your device. Nothing is uploaded as a condition of the app working.
  • NOAccounts. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into.
  • YESNative code. Swift and Apple's own frameworks. No bundled browser, no cross-platform runtime.
  • YESPaid, through the App Store. A free trial, then one subscription for the whole app — never a feature quietly taken away from you.

Who's behind this. One developer, working on these in the evenings. Each app ships with its own privacy policy and terms stating exactly what that app does and does not do — read the specific product's pages rather than trusting this one, because this page is the marketing and those pages are the commitment.
