Things he didn't use.

Early attempts at a tagline, a name, a reason. Most of them didn't land.

Taglines he tried.

  • Your new best friend. too confident
  • The only app you'll ever need. please no
  • Revolutionizing the macOS experience. lied. sorry.
  • Productivity, reimagined. he read it aloud and went quiet
  • A mole for your Mac. A friend for your feelings. one of these is plenty
  • Built with passion. "built slowly. sorry about that."
  • Meet the mole that changes everything. "he didn't want to make a fuss."
  • Download now. "download for mac" (compromise)

Names he considered.

Malcolm Bertie Postit Lanyard Brenda Kev Derek Mr. Mole Molly Dave Kevin

(he has feelings about "kev". please just use his full name.)
