# funnyapp.org

> funnyapp.org is the catalogue and download site of an independent macOS studio in Chongqing,
> China. Every app here starts as a one-sentence joke and ships as a signed, notarised DMG,
> sold once, direct — no App Store, no account, no subscription, no telemetry.

The catalogue currently holds one app, **HandleLens**. An app appears here only after it has been
signed with an Apple Developer ID, notarised, stapled and checksummed, so the catalogue is the
roadmap: no dates, no waitlists, no vapourware.

## Apps

- [HandleLens](https://funnyapp.org/apps/handlelens/): a macOS app that checks where a public
  username exists across 180 curated sites (45 core, 12 categories) and reports five distinct
  verdicts — found, not found, blocked, unclear, no answer — each with the request URL, HTTP
  status, elapsed time and detection rule. Batch queue, filters, CSV/JSON/HTML export, and a
  `handlelens` command line with JSON output and fixed exit codes. macOS 12+, universal.

  keys verified offline.

- Privacy: profile checks go directly from the user's Mac to the public sites selected. There is no
  account, no analytics and no telemetry; the only self-initiated request is an optional daily
  update check. Full policy: https://funnyapp.org/apps/handlelens/privacy/
- Limits worth stating: “not found” means the site answered that no such profile exists at that
  moment; blocked, unclear and no-answer results are not evidence that an account is absent.
  HandleLens is not a background check, a people-search database or a data broker, and X, Facebook,
  VK and Minds can only be checked by hand because they require a signed-in session.
- Site catalogue is derived from the Sherlock project (MIT):

## The fun test

Every app must pass all five rules: (1) the premise fits in one slightly absurd sentence; (2) the
build must be exact, with evidence behind every result; (3) it runs locally, with an offline
licence, not on the maker's server; (4) one job, one window, one price; (5) it can be left — data
exports, licence verifies offline, uninstall is a drag to the Trash.
