Wins
A windows manager with system level integration — you’ll see it in your system settings, not as an app. It also claims to use much less memory than Magnet or Rectangle Pro. Also: shake a window to hide the others.
Folder Peek
Your folders live as names in the menu bar. Click to access anything in them, including documents and apps. Customize it with things like icon, size, title and sorting.
ClipTools
A clipboard with a lot of extras — not only a list of things you’ve copied, but also saved clips, the date, time and lorem ipsum. Smart clips are like templates where you can fill in a blank. It also does calculations.
Spamify
Create a disposable email address so you can sign up for an account without fear of being spammed, targeted with ads or open to data leaks. Best used for services you just want to try out.
Hand Mirror
Check up on how you look before going live with an online meeting — one-click convenience from the menu bar.
Clop
Optimize images — PNG, JPEG or GIF — to the smallest size possible as you copy them to the pasteboard.
Decker
Just like the good old days of Hypercard, you can once again use a linked deck of cards to create e-zines, presentations, and adventure games like Myst.
Plain Text Editor
Ideal for those who prefer their text with no formatting. Options allow for optimal line length, word, character and line count, a transparent background and keeping the window on top.
Hovrly
Put times from various cities in your menu bar — 24-hour or AM/PM. Use a slider to show how the times compare through the day.
FreeScaler
Use AI models to upscale low-resolution JPG or PNG photos. You can batch upscale of a folder of images.
Megawords
Nirvana for word nerds — search for anagrams, rhymes, crossword solutions, allowable Scrabble words — plus the usual definitions and synonyms.
