New Hot Snaps beta 1.0.224 is out

Thoughtful apps for everyday tasks.

Gothic Workshop is an independent Mac software studio. We make focused, beautifully made tools that take the friction out of the things you do every day. One is on the App Store, two more are in open beta, and you're invited.

Typing Museum

Make everyday typing wonderfully clacky.

Give your Mac the sounds of classic typewriters, vintage computers and mechanical keyboards. Pick a machine and hear its clicks, clacks and carriage-return bells as you write emails, take notes or work in other apps. Then wander the collection: photographs and stories from early typewriters to the keyboards that shaped home computing.

How we work

Small studio. High standards.

Made for the Mac

Native apps that feel at home on macOS, in light and dark, on every display.

Focused

Each app does one job and does it well. No clutter, no feature soup.

Signed and notarised

Every download is signed by us and checked by Apple for known malware, so it opens cleanly.

Shaped by testers

Our betas are open. What you tell us decides what we build next.

Open invitation

Come and build with us.

Our betas are open to anyone with a Mac. It's free, there's nothing to sign up for, and you can stop whenever you like.
