Products

Five tools for the friction of a working day.

Voice, memory, files, context, attention. Every one is a native Mac app — keyboard-first, at home in the menu bar, built to leave running.

Reso's Nebula view: months of captured thoughts drawn as glowing, connected clusters

Reso

Speak. It's written.

Speak naturally in any app and Reso puts clean text at your cursor. Then it keeps working — translate, refine, or ask your own past dictations and get an answer that cites the captures it drew on. Nebula turns everything you've said into a map you can explore.

Your words are never used to train models.

Mint's dashboard: disk freed, memory released, files organized, and where the space came from
On-device Mac care
Mint app icon

Mint

A calmer Mac.

Disk, memory, files, uninstall, and redaction — five focused tools, all running on your Mac. Every change is shown to you before it happens, and any organize run from the last 90 days reverses with one click.

What DZG stands for

Design with Zeal and Grace.

Zeal is the appetite to build something that genuinely does the work. Grace is the restraint to let it disappear while you use it. Everything we ship has to live where the two meet.

动真格 — the name also reads as “we mean it” in Chinese

How we build

Three commitments, in every product.

The products look different because the problems are different. What they share is how they treat the person using them.

01

Your data stays yours

Work happens on the machine in front of you wherever it can, and what you say or store is never turned into training data.

ResoLocal transcribes locally · Mint's scans never leave the device · Scene is 100% local · Nebula is never trained on your words

02

Nothing happens without you

Automation that can't be inspected or undone isn't leverage, it's risk. You see the plan first, and you can walk it back.

Mint previews every change and reverses 90 days of runs · Shepherd alerts rather than acts

03

Start free, then pay once

Software running on your own hardware shouldn't need a monthly toll. Where we can price it once, we do.

Mint Pro $29.99 once · ResoLocal $19.99 once · Scene and Reso are free to start
