* an independent Mac software studio

We build small, sharp tools for people who expect their Mac to keep up with how they actually work.

run two of every app on one Mac, each with its own login.

One person. A short bench of tools. Each one built to do a specific job well, and then get out of your way.

A login for every copy

Each Duplex instance keeps its own profile, cookies, and settings in an isolated data folder. Two accounts, zero collisions.

The original stays untouched

Duplex never modifies the target app. Wrappers launch the app's own binary, so updates keep flowing exactly as before.

Source available

Read the code, audit it, build it for yourself. The full source, tests, and build script are public on GitHub.

* tools that earn their place in the Dock.

We only ship tools that solve a problem we hit ourselves, starting with running two of everything.

At Aetrix, tools stay small on purpose. Every one starts from a real itch and ends in the Dock.

(01)

Ship small

A tool should do one job completely rather than ten jobs halfway. Duplex duplicates apps. That is the whole job.

(02)

Zero dependencies

Plain Swift on native frameworks. Nothing to vendor, nothing to rot, nothing phoning home.

(03)

Pay once, own it

A $5 license, unlimited instances, up to 3 Macs. The first instance is free forever, no trial clocks.
