Hello World: Meet MacFlow, the Native Command Center for macOS Developers

Software development is hard enough without your tools fighting you. We spend thousands on high-end Mac hardware, only to let our local environments become a graveyard of outdated Homebrew packages, ghost caches, and unversioned dotfiles.

We call this Configuration Drift, and it’s why your setup feels "broken" after six months. Today, we’re changing that.

📺 Full Product Walkthrough

Check out the premiere of the MacFlow Open Beta in action:

What is MacFlow?

MacFlow is a 100% native, Swift-built assistant designed for software engineers who want total control over their machine. It’s not just a package manager; it’s a command center for your entire development lifecycle.

🔍 AI-Powered Workspace Discovery

Stop the "Google-to-Terminal" loop. Tell MacFlow what you’re building (e.g., "A Scala professional environment"), and our AI assistant discovers the necessary stacks, maps the dependencies, and handles the installation in one click.

🕵️‍♂️ Real-Time Drift Detection

MacFlow keeps a pulse on your environment. It instantly identifies when your local packages or system configurations have veered away from your intended setup, allowing you to resolve errors before they break your build.

🧹 Deep System Hygiene

Reclaim gigabytes of hidden space. MacFlow scans and wipes deep system caches, browser data, and bloated package manager folders (Xcode, Docker, npm, etc.) that manual cleaning often misses.

🛡️ Local-First Security

Privacy isn't a feature; it's the foundation. MacFlow is Apple Notarized and runs entirely locally on your machine. Your environment data and security scans never leave your Mac.

Built in Sydney, Available Everywhere 🇦🇺

As a software engineering leader based in Sydney, I built MacFlow to solve the exact frustrations I’ve faced leading dev teams. We believe the Mac experience for developers should be as polished as the apps they build.
