What is Wring?

Wring is a private macOS menu bar app that puts 12 developer tools at your fingertips—without sending a single byte over the network. It handles JWTs, hashes, regex, JSON, Base64, timestamps, cron expressions, colors, UUIDs, text diffs, load monitoring, and Keychain-backed .env secrets. There are no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, and no network entitlement. It's a one-time $4.99 purchase on the Mac App Store.

Who it's for

• Backend developers who need to decode JWTs, test regex, or compare diffs without pasting sensitive data into a browser tab
• DevOps engineers who regularly parse cron expressions, convert timestamps, or manage .env files across projects
• Privacy-conscious macOS users who want a local-only utility drawer that never phones home and stores secrets in the macOS Keychain

Key features

JWT Inspector

Decode and inspect JSON Web Tokens instantly from the menu bar. The entire process happens offline, so your tokens never leave your Mac.

.env Manager

Store environment variable values in the macOS Keychain with optional Touch ID or device password protection. No plaintext files, no cloud sync, no third-party service.

Load Monitor

Keep an eye on system resource usage without opening Activity Monitor. A compact menu bar view shows CPU, memory, and other metrics at a glance.

Clipboard-aware tool suggestions

Wring detects what you've copied and suggests the relevant tool—paste a JWT and the inspector opens, copy a timestamp and the converter appears. It's designed to minimize context switching.

What stands out

"Your tokens, secrets, and snippets stay on your Mac."

Wring is built without any network client or server entitlements. Every tool processes data locally, and the .env manager uses the macOS Keychain for storage. There are no accounts to create, no analytics to disable, and no subscription to cancel. It's a $4.99 one-time purchase that does exactly what it says and nothing more.

Worth checking out if…

You're a developer who works with JWTs, hashes, JSON, regex, or timestamps regularly and wants a private, offline alternative to browser-based tools. Wring is especially useful if you handle sensitive data and prefer not to paste it into web services, or if you want a .env manager that integrates with macOS Keychain and Touch ID. It's also a solid pick if you're tired of subscription fatigue and just want a single-purpose utility that stays out of your way.
