LilStudio: Three Small Apps with Firm Opinions

lilstudio.app Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A one-person Montreal studio making native Mac and iOS utilities for narrowly defined annoyances.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The studio separates its products by annoyance rather than bundling them into a larger suite. LilDisplay uses USB or peer-to-peer WiFi and advertises touch relay without requiring a shared network, while LilUsage tracks both Claude session and weekly windows from the macOS menu bar. LilHide is described as covering icons across every display without moving or deleting files. The page lists macOS version requirements and one-time prices for two of the three utilities.
