Startup Manager
Scan your Mac to see what’s starting up when you turn it on. Login items, launch items, browser extensions and more could be slowing things down. Decide whether to delete or disable.
Thock
Make your keyboard sound like a mechanical keyboard with a choice of over a dozen sound effects.
Time Until
Set up countdowns to important events in your menu bar. You can put them in categories, have them repeat, and create corresponding events in Calendar.
AI Actions
Add AI-related actions to the Shortcuts app using an API key from OpenAI or Anthropic, which is securely stored in your keychain. Ollama and Groq are also supported.
Caffeine
The original awake app is back with new developers and an updated code base. It’s as simple as ever — click the coffee cup in the menu bar to turn it on from five minutes to indefinitely.
Pester
Set a timed reminder with options for a message, an alert sound, a dock bounce, or a spoken message. Go by time and date, or countdown. Can be repeated.
Edenmath
A scientific calculator that does standard arithmetic, probability, and trigonometric functions.
Symphytum
Keep track of your collections with a simple database that allows you to create several fields for each entry, including images, creation and modification dates, dropdown lists, and progress bars.
Cling
Instantly find any file, including those not indexed by Safari. Act on selected files from the keyboard. Exclude files and folders you don’t want Cling to index.
Captin
Never again have any doubt about whether your caps lock is on. Turning it off or on gives you a customizable floating message, a sound, and a symbol of your choice in the menu bar — hatched egg, anyone?
Panelicious
It’s kind of like having an extra dock for access to apps, folders and documents. Handy if you have a second monitor. Lots of options for appearance, position, size and offset.
Over two decades later, Skype is shutting down
Skype, the OG videoconferencing app, shuts down on May 5 in favour of Microsoft Teams.
