DimBar
Display Brightness Control. Free · private by default, with no accounts and nothing collected. Built like everything we ship: small, fast, and out of your way until you need it.
Software
The software library
Everything we ship in one place. Focused tools that do one job well. Free and paid, on the App Store and sold direct, private by default.
Services
We build software for companies.
Bring us a problem and we will shape it, build it, and get it into your hands. Scoped tight, shipped fast, and supported after launch.
Custom applications
CRMs, dashboards, workflow tools, and data platforms. Greenfield builds or additions to an existing codebase, turned into production software your team actually uses.
Workflow automation & integrations
Integrations and automations across the systems you already run. Manual work removed, data that moves itself, and the judgment to know what should stay human.
Mac & iOS apps
Native Apple apps built with SwiftUI and the platform's own frameworks, from design through development to App Store submission and post-launch support.
A short call and a written plan with a fixed bid or a monthly retainer.
Working software early and often, with progress you can click on.
Deployed to production with documentation and support after launch.
About
Independent, in-house, and private by default.
Side Channel Studios is an independent software studio. We design, build, test, and ship everything under one roof, from the first sketch to the App Store listing to the support inbox. No agencies, no handoffs, and no layer between the people who build the software and the people who answer for it.
The library is how we sharpen the craft. Every product starts as a real problem, ships small, and earns its place by being genuinely useful. The same discipline carries into client work: the fastest way to trust us is to download something we made and see how it treats you.
We are opinionated about privacy because it earns trust. Most of our utilities collect nothing at all. When a product needs an account or usage data to do its job, we take the minimum, say exactly what and why, and never sell it. That posture holds across the library and everything we build for clients.
Privacy first
We collect as little as a product needs, disclose it plainly, and never sell or rent your data.
One roof
Design, engineering, testing, and support by the same team that answers your email.
Built to ship
Small, focused releases that reach real users fast and get supported after launch.
More coming
Web tools and new products join the library as they earn their way out of the workshop.
