Six tools. One menu bar. Everything gets simpler.

SixKit gathers six small macOS utilities behind one discreet menu bar icon. A shelf for your files, a tool to copy text shown on screen, floating notes, QR codes, a presentation mode, a task list, each one keystroke away, without cluttering your Dock.

La Boite. A shelf for files in transit.

Opens with B

Moving a file to a specific folder but you have to open the right Finder window first? Drop it in La Boite, take your time finding the destination, then drag it wherever you want. Several files at once, to several places if you need.

Stack as many files as you like. Take them out one by one or all at once.
Your original files stay put. La Boite only holds a reference: the original stays where it is until you decide.
Detailed view. Switch to list view to see each file's size, date and time.
📷

Calque. Text on screen, in your clipboard.

Runs with T

Text stuck inside an image, a locked PDF, a screenshot, a video call? Select the area and the text is extracted and copied to your clipboard in an instant. No more retyping it all by hand.

Everything is processed on your Mac. Nothing sent online, no third-party service.
History of the last 30 captures. Search, copy again, delete whenever you want.
Recognises 9 languages. Nothing to configure beforehand.
🛡️

Presentation mode. Your desktop, hidden with one keystroke.

Turns on with P

Before a screen share, a client demo, a screencast: instantly hide your desktop icons, your notifications, your personal wallpaper. Without touching a single file, without disturbing how you work.

Customisable background. A solid colour, your own image, or several supplied moods.
Every screen covered. Including a second monitor if you have one plugged in.
The off button is always visible. So you never forget to turn it off after your presentation.
📝

Notes. Reminders that stay where you put them.

From the Menu tile

No file to save, no folder to file it in, no app to open. A floating note that comes back exactly where you left it. Several colours to find your way, two shapes to choose from.

Always visible, or tucked away. Above all your windows, or listed in the menu bar.
Six colours. To sort visually without having to organise.
Your notes stay on your Mac. Never sent online, never synced.
📱

QR Code. From link to phone, instantly.

From the Menu tile

Paste a URL, an email address, a piece of text. The QR appears immediately. Copy the image, export it as PNG, or share it straight through AirDrop. Your last 10 QR codes are kept so you can find them again quickly.

Generated on your Mac. No internet connection needed, no third-party service.
High-resolution image. Sharp even printed on a large poster.
One-click sharing. AirDrop, Mail, Messages, Notes: every Apple service.

To-Do. A list that gets out of your way.

Opens with L

No categories, no projects, no invitations. One single list. Type, tick, forget. Completed tasks are filed by day and hidden by default: your list stays clear, and so does your head.

A counter in the menu bar. The number of pending tasks is always visible.
Collapsible history. See what you got done yesterday, last week, day by day.
No complications. No tags, no priorities, no deadlines. Just type and tick.

No account to create. No server. No hidden statistics. No sync you did not ask for.

Notes, tasks, captures, QR codes: everything is kept safely on your Mac.

Erase everything in one click

One button in the settings erases all your data instantly.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Everything I have already been asked.

Why six tools in one app rather than six separate apps? +

Because they are all useful at the same moment, your daily work, and six icons in the menu bar, or six in the Dock, undo exactly what you were after: a clear environment. One icon, six shortcuts, everything is there.

Which versions of macOS are supported? +

macOS 14 Sonoma and later. Works on Apple silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3…) and Intel Macs.

Does SixKit record anything online? +

Absolutely nothing. No account to create, no server, no statistics about how you use it. The app works entirely offline.

Which permissions does SixKit ask for? +

For Calque only: screen recording permission, needed to capture the area you select. Every other feature asks for no special permission.

What does it cost? +

SixKit is sold on the Mac App Store as a one-time purchase: you pay once, the app is yours, updates included. No subscription, no renewal, no crippled version.

What if I want to suggest a new tool? +

The app is deliberately limited to six well-finished tools rather than twenty half-done ones. But I read every suggestion sent to contact@absyt.com: if an idea comes back often, I look at it seriously.

Will the app be translated into my language? +

Probably yes: 11 languages are already supported (French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Polish, Dutch). If yours is missing, write to me.

A menu bar is not a Dock. It is a promise: to be there without getting in the way. Six tools, because six is enough.
