A macOS App to shrink files natively

Local drag-and-drop compression with batch/folder support and resolution resizing is immediately useful if you don't want to upload assets to third‑party sites. The feature list (25 file types, 100% local, lifetime purchase option) shows focus and honesty, but there’s nothing here that overtakes existing tools like ImageOptim, HandBrake or ffmpeg — and the site omits concrete details about codecs, quality presets and speed/quality tradeoffs. Add CLI/Quick Action automation and transparent benchmarks and this would be a no-brainer utility for pros.
