Download · Website

features

• notes, quick markdown notes saved to a folder you choose, openable in Obsidian.
• clipboard, searchable history of what you copy, with pinning.
• authenticator, local TOTP codes, stored in the Keychain.
• sous, sous-vide for your battery: cap charging at your limit to slow long-term wear, with sailing range, heat protection, top-up/discharge, and MagSafe LED control (Apple Silicon).
• plugins, one-shot actions you script in any language.
• focus, dim and blur the windows behind the front one.
• theme, pick an accent color or follow the system one.

Notes and clipboard can be locked behind Touch ID.

plugins

A plugin is a folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Oxine/Plugins/<name>/ holding a manifest.json and an executable run script. Oxine sends the input (selection, clipboard, or an argument) to the script on stdin and acts on its stdout. Create, edit, color, reorder, and assign keybinds from the Plugins tab.

sous

Sous-vide cooks low and slow at one precise temperature; Sous does the same for your battery. Lithium-ion ages fastest sitting at a full charge, so Sous caps charging at the limit you set and holds it there. A tiny privileged helper does the actual charge control, installing it takes one admin-password prompt, then it runs in the background. Set a charge limit and sailing range, enable heat protection, top up to 100% before a trip, or discharge down to your limit on demand. On Macs with a MagSafe LED, Sous can tint it green when held and amber while charging. Apple Silicon only; everything stays on your Mac.
