A small app for a smoother day
From your Mac.
To Google.
And back.

In development. Public download coming later.
Less app. More flow.
Just enough
to keep you moving.
Your recent files. Your Google accounts. A familiar place to pick up where you left off.
A closer look
A familiar beginning
Start where your files are.
Your usual double-click, with Google’s editors on the other side.
Double-click in Finder.
Naro uploads the file to your Google Drive and opens the matching editor. With multiple accounts, choose an avatar first.
Edit. Your Mac keeps up.
While Naro is running and online, it checks Google’s saved changes and writes them back locally, keeping a backup.
Three editors. One app.
For the files you already use.
Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Up to 100 MB per file.
Word → Docs
From a local document to Google Docs.
DOC · DOCX

A native interface with Liquid Glass, recent documents, and a compact account picker. No menu-bar icon to keep around.
The right account, every time.
Connect personal and work accounts. Pick the account for each file using its profile photo, name, and email.
Your files go to your Google Drive.
Documents travel directly between your Mac and Google. Naro has no developer-operated server that receives your documents. Sign-in tokens stay in macOS Keychain.
A little help along the way
Make yourself at home.

Google accounts
The right account for every file.
Add another account and choose where each document goes with Naro’s compact avatar picker.
Saving & sync
Keep your changes coming home.
Understand local saving, backups, and what to do when a file changes in two places.
Good to know
A few practical details.
Can I download Naro now?
Naro is in development. No public installer has been published yet. This repository is the app’s public information site, not its source code. Release information will appear here when a public build is ready.
Does it edit files inside the app?
Editing happens in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides in your browser. Naro handles opening files from Finder, choosing an account, and bringing Google’s saved changes back to your Mac.
What happens if both copies change?
Naro keeps both versions and asks which one to continue with. It also makes local backups before replacing a document. Keep Naro running and connected to the internet for synchronization.
Will every Office feature look exactly the same?
Compatibility depends on Google’s Office editors. Complex formatting, macros, and other advanced features may not be preserved. If Google upgrades an older DOC, XLS, or PPT file, Naro saves a modern-format copy alongside the original. Converting a file into a separate Google-native document is not tracked by the original file link.
Which Macs are supported?
The current development build targets Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26 or newer. Automatic app updates are planned but are not implemented in the current build.
