About SiteHaul
SiteHaul is a powerful productivity and design tool built specifically for macOS that allows users to screenshot an entire website with a single click. Unlike standard browser extensions that force you to capture one tab at a time and manually name every file, or hosted services that render your clients' private pages on external servers, SiteHaul operates entirely locally on your Mac.
By reading a website's sitemap, SiteHaul automatically captures every page in both desktop and mobile resolutions in a single run. Files are automatically named based on their respective URLs, eliminating tedious manual organization. In addition to visual screenshots, the tool extracts and exports each page's copy as Markdown and generates a urls.md redirect map, making it highly useful for website migrations, audits, and design reviews.
SiteHaul prioritizes privacy and simplicity: there are no accounts to create, and absolutely no data is uploaded. It is free to use for up to 50 pages a month, with a simple one-time payment of $49 for unrestricted access.

About Islet
Islet is a native macOS utility developed by solo indie maker Lippi304 that brings the popular iPhone Dynamic Island experience directly to your Mac's notch. Unlike conventional notch utilities that merely draw a static shape over the camera cutout, Islet provides dynamic, interactive behavior powered by native spring-physics for smooth expansion and collapse animations.
Built natively using Swift and AppKit rather than heavy frameworks like Electron, Islet is designed to be lightweight, fast, and fully fullscreen-aware. It features real-time heads-up displays (HUDs) for volume and brightness, a live music glance with full playback controls, and convenient one-tap audio output switching that saves you from navigating through System Settings.
In addition to media and system controls, Islet incorporates helpful daily widgets including calendar and weather glances, as well as a versatile file tray that allows you to drag and drop files from anywhere on your system.
