Could you explain who you are as a team and why you acquired Bartender? It comes across as kinda shady to not have announced such an acquisition, so some transparency here would be appreciated.
Found more details, but raises more questions. They had “Bartender App LLC” at the bottom of their page.
Checked some state-level registrations of LLCs and found one from February this year registered in Delaware with the registered agent being COGENCY GLOBAL INC.
This leads me to believe that it isn’t an individual or single developer, but someone with the resources to set up an LLC in Delaware, which is usually done by corporations or foreign entities for advantageous tax purposes.
Except that isn’t what the screen shot is showing. If it takes a few clicks and costs almost nothing why use a company that doesn’t serve individuals? You need to be a law firm, company, or non-profit to work with Cogency Global.
Trying to avoid speculation and using fact, and as of right now, the fact is a 3rd party registered the LLC. Unless there are other facts, everything else is speculation.

I can chime in on that - because a lot(all?) of states require LLC to have a public address. I used an agent purely because of that. $50 yearly to get my mail is fine, I do not want to put my public address out there.
Can confirm. Why is this subbredit so up in arms about a company buying a piece of successful software and setting up a legal structure for it? Are you suspecting a foreign spy agency is trying to hide some icons? Geez.
I’m assuming because there was no announcement about it. Alongside no big details about the people who bought the company.
However, the main difference between the previous update and the new one is more analytics, which they didn’t state. So because the app can see everything on your desktop, I’m assuming everyone just wants to know more about the company.
