Introducing Oxid Apps

We're launching a suite of macOS apps with Rust engines and, in most of them, native SwiftUI interfaces. One-time purchases, no subscriptions.

Corrected 2 October 2026. The original launch post used working names for the first apps, promised an AI feature the editor never shipped, and said none of our apps used a web view and that updates were free forever. None of that was accurate; this version is.

We're excited to announce the launch of Oxid Apps -- a collection of macOS applications built for simplicity and focus.

Why Oxid Apps?

A lot of Mac software today is built on Electron, which ships its own copy of the Chromium browser engine inside every app. We wanted to build something closer to the Mac.

Every Oxid app has an engine written in Rust. Most have a native SwiftUI interface; our video editor and our sticky-notes app use Tauri, a web interface drawn by the macOS web view over a Rust backend. Fast, focused tools are the goal, and each app's page says what it does and doesn't do yet.

Our Launch Lineup

  • Oxid Studio -- A video editor that runs on your Mac, with multi-track editing and export up to 4K
  • Oxid Note -- Minimal sticky notes for quick reminders and thoughts
  • Oxid Mac Cleaner -- A Mac cleaner that finds caches, logs and app leftovers and shows you what it found before you clear it

Fair Pricing

We believe in simple, honest pricing:

  • One-time purchase per Mac
  • No subscriptions or recurring fees
  • Updates to the version you buy included; major releases are included with the Value Pack and offered at an upgrade price to single-app buyers
  • Bundle discounts when you buy all apps together

What's Next

We're just getting started. Expect regular updates, new features, and more apps joining the Oxid family. Follow our blog for updates.
