> Five Mac apps that never ask you to make an account: a task manager that's really one plain-text file, a net-worth tracker that never phones home, offline dictation that cleans up its own transcript, a workspace that keeps your Google sign-ins local to the machine, and a menu-bar library for the commands you keep re-Googling.
