About XappNova (boilerplate)

XappNova is an independent software studio that builds small, focused tools for Apple platforms and browsers. Every product is designed to solve one problem well: no accounts, no subscriptions unless warranted, no data collection, and no bloat. XappNova apps are built natively with Swift and SwiftUI for Apple platforms, and with browser-native APIs for extensions, so they feel like they belong on the devices they run on.

The studio ships across iOS, macOS, Safari, and Chrome. Current products include Stashmark (privacy-first link saver for Safari), SpeedByGenre (automatic YouTube speed control for Chrome), BrewGuide (pour-over coffee timer for iPhone), WindowCloser (one-click workspace clearer for macOS), and Sahibinden Araç Analizi (risk analysis tool for second-hand car buyers in Turkey).

App summaries

Stashmark

A Safari extension for macOS that saves links with AI-powered on-device categorization. All data is stored locally or synced privately through the user's own iCloud account. No Stashmark server ever sees a saved link. One-time purchase on the Mac App Store.

SpeedByGenre

A Chrome extension that automatically adjusts YouTube playback speed based on video category. Music plays at 1×, tutorials at 1.5×, podcasts at 2× — without touching a control. Settings sync across devices via Chrome Sync. Free on the Chrome Web Store.

BrewGuide

A guided pour-over coffee timer for iPhone. Supports Hario V60, Kalita Wave, and Chemex with dripper-specific step-by-step recipes. Includes a bloom timer, pour interval prompts, and profile storage for tracking brew improvements over time. One-time purchase on the App Store.

WindowCloser

A macOS menu bar app that closes every open window across every application with one click or a global keyboard shortcut. Supports protected app lists so background utilities and pinned apps are never affected. Distributed on Gumroad rather than the App Store because Apple's sandbox prevents App Store apps from controlling other apps' windows. Signed and notarized by Apple.

Sahibinden Araç Analizi

A Chrome extension for second-hand car buyers in Turkey. It overlays a risk panel on Sahibinden.com listing pages, showing chronic issues and model-specific failure patterns from a local knowledge base. All analysis happens on-device. No browsing data is transmitted externally. Free on the Chrome Web Store.
