gnorman.codes — indie-built tools

Real software. No bloat. No nonsense.

// built by Gnorman, the gnome who ships

Native Mac apps and developer utilities, built small and shipped clean. Each tool does one thing well — no bloat, no subscriptions, no nonsense. From database clients and CLI tools to SSH launchers and quiet background utilities, everything fits into the way you already work.
