Matthias Kirschner#NHS England should not hide #publiccode behind closed doors! Instead they should enlarge efforts that public money results in #PublicCode ! https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260504-01.en.html (thanks to @Edent for raising the issue).
The "everything as a service" model has created a generation of software that rents you access to your own data.
Your clipboard history. Your notes. Your files. All sitting on someone else's server, behind a paywall that can be raised or pulled at any time.
SaneApps is a bet that people still want to own software. Not rent it.
Five apps. All on-device. All public code. All one-time.

Signalrauschen🐧 Deutschland macht Ernst: Bund und Länder setzen auf Linux & LibreOffice statt US-Software. Offene Formate werden Pflicht für alle Behörden. Wer mit dem Staat arbeitet, muss mitziehen – auch private Auftragnehmer. Digitale Unabhängigkeit statt Abhängigkeit von Big Tech! 🇩🇪

BonnieSo happy to be at this year's #LIT26 in #Augsburg!
An amazing event organized by the local @lug_augsburg.
Especially grateful to have been asked to present the @fsfe's "Public Money? Public Code!" initiative today.

Shipped something I needed myself: SaneSales 📊
It pulls from LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, and Stripe — all in one dashboard. Revenue charts, order history, home screen widgets.
The interesting technical constraint: all API calls go from your Mac directly to those services. My server is never in the loop. You can verify this in the public code.
github.com/sane-apps/sanesales
$6.99 one-time. Free to try first.
Hot take: "on-device by default" is the minimum bar for trustworthy software, not a premium feature.
Every SaneApps utility runs locally. No API calls to my servers. No clipboard data leaving your Mac. No usage telemetry.
Not because I'm legally required to — because it's the right way to build.
The code is public. Verify it yourself.
