For macOS

Vietnamese typing that just works.

A Telex/VNI input method for macOS — it works even in VS Code and the terminal, where other input methods break.

It also comes with a free mini app store — new apps land every month.

How to install

1Open the .dmg you downloaded and drag iGõ into your Applications folder.
2
Open iGõ for the first time. macOS blocks apps that Apple has not notarized — pick the tab that matches your macOS version:
Your macOS version macOS 27 or later macOS 26 or earlier

Open Terminal, run the command below, and enter your Mac password when asked. Then open the app again:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iGõ.app
Tip: type the start of the command, then drag the app from your Applications folder into the Terminal window to fill in its path — no need to type the name.

Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the blocked app and choose Open Anyway.
3Grant iGõ permissions: enable both Accessibility and Input Monitoring under Privacy & Security.
4 Done! A VN icon appears in the menu bar. Switch Telex/VNI from the menu, and toggle typing with ⌃⇧Space.

iGo

Just the mini app store — no input method.

No Vietnamese input
The same mini app store as iGõ
No permissions needed

Download iGo for macOS

How to install

1Open the .dmg you downloaded and drag iGo into your Applications folder.
2
Open iGo for the first time. macOS blocks apps that Apple has not notarized — pick the tab that matches your macOS version:
Your macOS version macOS 27 or later macOS 26 or earlier

Open Terminal, run the command below, and enter your Mac password when asked. Then open the app again:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iGo.app
Tip: type the start of the command, then drag the app from your Applications folder into the Terminal window to fill in its path — no need to type the name.

Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the blocked app and choose Open Anyway.
3Done! Open iGo from your Applications folder.

Install only one of the two — they share the same data and cannot run side by side.

One app, many mini apps

Both iGõ and iGo ship with the mini app store: small tools you install when you need them and remove when you do not. Each mini app runs in its own process, so a crash never takes the main app down with it.

1–2 new mini apps every month.

iGo TreeSize

See which folders are eating your disk. Scan a folder and rank everything by the space it actually takes; results appear as a tree you can drill into, and you can filter out anything below a threshold you set.
iGo FreshDrive

Clears macOS and Windows junk from external drives every time you plug one in — .DS_Store, hidden trash folders, Spotlight indexes, System Volume Information. A USB stick you hand to someone else no longer arrives littered with stray files.
iGo Video Downloader

Download video from any link: YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads…
iGo Image Convert

Batch convert, resize, and compress images
iGo Video Convert

Convert video: format, codec, resolution
iGo Duplicate Finder

Scan folders/volumes for duplicate-content, hardlinked and name-similar files; safe removal via Trash.
iGo Bulk Renamer

Bulk rename files with templates, find-replace, and numbering
iGo QR Code

Create, organize, and decode QR codes

Free forever

The main app is free forever, and every account gets two mini apps of its choice free forever — no trial period, no ads.

The input method and the platform: free, and never charged for.
Your first two mini apps: free forever, and you pick which ones.
From the third mini app on: 1 USD / 20,000 ₫ per app, paid once.

Without signing in, every local feature still works fully.

Why iGõ?

Existing input methods often garble text in VS Code or the command line — dropped keystrokes, doubled letters, misplaced tones. iGõ was built specifically to type correctly in exactly those places.

Features

Telex and VNI

Type in whichever style you like, and switch anytime. Modern tone placement by default — "hoà" instead of "hòa" (configurable).
Works correctly everywhere

VS Code, the terminal, web terminals, and many other apps — places where other input methods often drop keystrokes or double letters.
Auto-corrects typos

A community dictionary fixes common typos, plus a personal dictionary you define yourself — if a pair overlaps, your own rule wins.
Shorthand

Define your own shorthand — type "vn" and get "Việt Nam". Supports multi-line signatures and pasting from the clipboard.
Sync across Macs

Sign in to carry your settings, shorthand table, and personal dictionary to another Mac. Without signing in, every local feature still works fully.
Private & free

Free, with no ads. Any data collection is opt-in — asked for the first time you run the app, and can be turned off anytime.

See it in action

Pick your typing style, turn on auto-fix, tune shorthand — all in one tidy menu-bar app.
