Desktop Software

Native Desktop Software for macOS & Linux

Fast, Private, Local-First Applications

BSM designs and builds native desktop applications for macOS and Linux. We focus on performance, clean and intuitive interfaces, and privacy — the kind of local-first software that keeps your data on your device instead of in the cloud.

Our apps are crafted natively for each platform: Swift & SwiftUI on macOS, and Qt 6 with C++ on Linux, packaged as a Flatpak for distribution on Flathub. Whether it's a focused utility, a productivity tool, or a full-featured application, we build it to feel right at home on your desktop.

We Build for Apple & Linux

Our desktop software targets macOS and Linux only — we do not develop Windows applications. This deliberate focus lets us deliver faster, more reliable, truly native experiences on the platforms we know best.

Desktop App Development

What We Build & Deliver

Native macOS Apps

Built with Swift & SwiftUI for a fast, modern experience, packaged and signed for distribution on the Mac App Store.

Native Linux Apps

Developed with Qt 6 and C++, packaged as a Flatpak and published on Flathub so it installs cleanly across Linux distributions.

Local-First & Private

Your data stays on your device. We favor local SQLite storage with no cloud accounts, no sync, and no tracking — privacy by design.

Cross-Platform Parity

One product, a consistent experience — we keep features and data in sync across the macOS and Linux versions of your app.

Open Source Options

When it fits, we release software as open source under permissive licenses like MIT — free to install, fork, learn from, and contribute to.

Ongoing Updates

We maintain what we ship — regular updates, fixes, and new releases that keep your app current with the latest OS versions.
