About TickClip

Protect your buying decisions, not the transaction. TickClip explains the evidence and recommends Tick, Clip, or Skip without affiliate commissions or paid placement. TickClip is a separate decision layer: it does not run checkout, rank products for sellers, or optimize retailer conversion. The available evidence does not clear the buy threshold. The recommendation can be to wait, choose an alternative, or make no purchase at all. We check price manipulation, marketplace review signals, and seller reputation on every product you almost buy, then tell you plainly what to do.

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
