PounceApps — small, fast, AI-native macOS apps

Four apps, one idea: AI that lives inside the tool.

All built on the same foundation — a native Mac app with a built-in MCP server and Claude driving every feature. Pick the one for your work, or grab the whole family.

PounceSQL

A native SQL client for Azure SQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL & SQLite — with an AI assistant that doesn't just write queries, it diagrams schemas and charts results.

Multi-engine: Azure SQL · SQL Server · Postgres · SQLite
AI assistant — OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, or your gateway
Charts, Mermaid diagrams, KPIs from your results
Built-in MCP server + ships with a demo database

PouncePad

A simple, AI-drivable text editor — a TextEdit/Notepad replacement with a Claude Code channel built in: type in the app, Claude answers right there.

Syntax highlighting for ~30 languages
Markdown + Mermaid live preview
Crash-safe tabs; opens from the CLI & Finder
Claude channel — Claude reads & edits your files

Full TRS-80-style BASIC V2.0 interpreter
Modern editor for 23+ languages + terminal

Native, private, and genuinely AI-first.

Native & fast

Real Mac apps (Go + Wails), not Electron. Small binaries, instant launch, notarized.

MCP built in

Every feature is a tool. Claude Code can drive the whole app over an embedded MCP server.

Private by default

Your data stays local. AI & MCP are read-only unless you explicitly enable writes.

Retro, themeable

A dozen editor themes — Rider, Dracula, Nord, Solarized and more — across both apps.

Bring your own AI

OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, or your own gateway. PounceApps has no lock-in.
