Everything you need to write about Syrian Apps: studio boilerplate, per-app descriptions, and icons in full resolution. For screenshots, review copies, or anything else, email [email protected]. It goes straight to the developer.
Syrian Apps is a one-person software studio building native apps for Mac and iPhone. Every app shares one architecture: everything runs on the user's device: speech recognition, receipt OCR, posture analysis and sound synthesis, with no accounts, no trackers, no analytics SDKs, and no servers holding user data.
The studio currently ships six apps: Whisperer, Tally, FastKey, Loopaper, Plumb and Resonate. Contact: [email protected].
Speak. It types. Private on-device dictation for macOS.
Whisperer is a free menu-bar app for macOS: hold a key, talk, and your words land in whatever app you're using, transcribed entirely on the Mac's Neural Engine. Dictation works system-wide in around 33 languages, with an optional on-device polish step that cleans up the raw transcript. No audio or text ever leaves the machine; there is no account and no subscription.
Every receipt. Nothing in the cloud.
Tally captures, organises, splits and understands paper receipts entirely on the iPhone. A bundled vision-language model reads receipts offline, an on-device AI assistant answers questions about spending, and warranty tracking turns receipts into living case files. OCR, categorisation, search and analytics all run locally. Receipt data never touches a server.
Caps Lock, instantly. macOS swallows quick taps on purpose. Not anymore.
FastKey is a tiny notarized menu-bar utility that removes the hidden 75 ms delay macOS applies to Caps Lock, so every quick tap registers, exactly as on Windows. It flips Apple's own switch rather than patching the system, uses no accessibility hacks, and touches the network only to validate its licence. 14-day free trial, then a one-time purchase.
Your desktop, alive. Live video wallpaper for macOS.
Loopaper is a native macOS menu-bar app that turns any video into a smooth, forever-looping live wallpaper across every display. It decodes in hardware, pauses itself when displays are covered or the Mac is on battery, and collects nothing. A companion screen saver keeps the motion going when the Mac is idle.
Sit tall, without thinking about it.
Plumb is a calm posture companion for the desk. Using AirPods motion sensors, or the iPhone's TrueDepth camera as a screen-attended alternative, it quietly notices when you drift forward and nudges you back, never as a verdict. All sensing and analysis happens on the device; no camera frame or motion data ever leaves it.
Sound that wraps around you.
Resonate plays calming soundscapes for sleep, focus and quiet, rendered in 3D spatial audio that opens up around the listener on headphones, with synchronised gentle haptics. Describe how you feel in a sentence and Resonate builds the mix with an on-device language model. Sixty-five sounds, twelve languages, nothing leaves the phone.
