Redress is a private command center for the aftermath of identity theft, a data breach, stalking or harassment, a lost wallet, account takeover, or another sensitive personal crisis. It turns "what do I do now" into a calm, organized response plan that stays on your device. WHY REDRESS IS DIFFERENT When a situation involves your most sensitive information, you may not want another cloud account holding the details. Redress is designed for private, on-device organization: no account, no sign-in, no analytics, and no network service required. CASE FILES FOR EACH MATTER Create a separate case for each situation. Track affected accounts, IDs, cards, devices, addresses, or records, then move each item through a containment pipeline from Exposed to Resolved. GUIDED RESPONSE RUNBOOKS Redress seeds a step-by-step runbook for the type of matter you create. Work through containment, reporting, monitoring, recovery, and legal-support steps with deadlines and progress tracking. DOSSIER READINESS Version 1.1 adds a pro-level readiness audit. Redress reviews your runbook progress, exposed item status, timeline, evidence, secure records, drafted letters, and incident-log integrity, then shows what is ready and what still needs attention before export. TAMPER-EVIDENT TIMELINE Build a factual incident log with hash-chained entries. The app can verify whether the timeline is intact, helping you preserve a clear record of what happened and when. EVIDENCE AND SECURE RECORDS Attach photos, screenshots, and documents as evidence. Each item is stored in the protected app container and fingerprinted with SHA-256. Save case numbers, contacts, report IDs, and recovery details behind the app lock. LETTERS AND PDF DOSSIERS Draft dispute letters, report narratives, chronological summaries, and notices. Export a formatted PDF dossier with optional redaction, an integrity stamp, a readiness summary, the timeline, evidence index, remediation status, and letters. OFFLINE TOOLKIT Use built-in guides, official resource references, data-broker opt-out tracking, and letter templates without needing a connection. PRIVACY Redress collects no data. There are no accounts, analytics, ads, trackers, or server uploads. Your case files remain local unless you deliberately export or share them. Important: Redress is an organization and recordkeeping utility. It does not provide legal, financial, medical, or emergency advice.

About

MicButton

MicButton is your physical mute button for working by voice. It lets you mute or unmute your Mac’s system microphone from your Apple Watch or iPhone Action Button without leaving a ChatGPT Voice or Codex conversation. Whether you're stepping away for a quick side conversation during a video call or working alongside a voice assistant that shouldn't hear you talking to someone else, MicButton lets you mute in an instant β€” right from your wrist or phone. It’s a master mute switch. MicButton mutes your Mac’s system microphone itself rather than muting inside a single app β€” so when it’s off, nothing running on your Mac is listening: not a call, not a browser tab, not an assistant. Your mic is off because you turned it off, and you can confirm it from your wrist without walking back to your desk. FEATURES β€’ One-tap mute/unmute from Apple Watch β€’ iPhone Action Button and Lock Screen control support β€’ Live mute status shown in the Dynamic Island β€’ Mutes the Mac’s system microphone at the source, not inside a single app β€’ Works entirely over your local network β€” no internet connection required, and no audio ever leaves your devices β€’ Lightweight menu bar app that stays out of your way MicButton is built for anyone who works from a Mac and wants mute control without breaking their flow.
