Ball
Click the ball to take it out of the dock and play with it. Flick to bounce it off the bottom of the screen. Just, you know, have fun.
Confectionery
A web browser that shows the bare minimum — the address and the content — so you can have nice, clean screen captures.
There
List the time zones of friends, family and colleagues in your menu bar — each with their own image.
Blankie
Choose from 14 ambient sounds to mix and adjust volumes. Save as presets, customize colours.
Fancy Folders
Set the colour for a folder and place an icon or image on it. Allows for more options than the built-in system in macOS Tahoe. Apple’s SF Symbols app is recommended for icons.
SoundAnchor
Set the priority of your audio devices from the menu bar. Handy if you don’t want your AirPods to change it to the default system internal microphone.
Spokenly
Hold down the right-command key and speak. Your words will appear quickly and accurately. Supports local Whisper models. Private and customizable.
WindowKeys
Use a panel to customize keyboard shortcuts for window tiling commands. Works on any keyboard, and can move windows between displays.
BorderMe
Keep an always-visible border around the active window in all apps, desktops and workspaces. Width, colour and opacity can all be adjusted.
Countdown Timer Pro
Drag from the menu bar to create timer overlays. Displays time units from seconds to years. Visual options include fonts, backgrounds and colours. Themes can be saved for re-use.
Have fun modifying the look of your Mac
Change the look of windows, the menu bar, cursors, and icons, plus the sound of your keyboard.
Googly Eyes
A pair of eyes in the menu bar follows you cursor wherever it goes, because . . . why not?
