Cursorcerer
Hide your cursor at any time with a global hot key. Handy for those times it gets in the way when you’re watching a video.
FreshBatch
Batch rename files and extensions — just tell it what folder you want to modify, what about the filename you need to change, and what you want to change it to.
HideSwitch
A super simple way to show and hide system files. Just use the toggle on a semi-transparent bezel.
Hyperkey
Remap the caps lock key to shift, control, option and command — all combined — to create a new modifier key. Great for those who never use caps lock for its intended purpose.
Karabiner-Elements
Customize your Mac keyboard — simply change normal keys to other keys or set up complex rules.
LinearMouse
Set up scrolling direction, pointer acceleration, pointer speed and modifier keys — separately for each device. Your mouse and trackpad can be customized differently.
Mos
Allows you to set the direction of the touchpad and mouse wheel separately. Also can make scrolling smoother.
NameChanger
Rename a list of files quickly and easily — and see the changes as you type. Options for changing names include: replace first occurrence, replace last occurrence, replace all, wildcard, prepend, append, character removal, sequence and date.
Pock
Get the most out of your MacBook’s touch bar with this widgets manager.
Remote Mouse
Turn your iPhone, iPad or iPod into a wireless remote control for your Mac or PC — just like working with a real mouse and keyboard. Useful for presentations.
SelfControl
Block access to distracting websites, mail servers or anything else on the Internet for any period of time you like. They stay block until the time is up — even if you restart your computer or delete the application.
Shareful
Add extra powers to the share menu: copy, save as, open in, and more. Available in any app that has a share button.
Shortcat
You may never need your mouse again. Access your Mac’s user interface from a command palette — click buttons, focus text fields, invoke menu commands, switch windows, and more.
Transnomino
Batch rename many files at once — from simple to complex using regular expressions. This app can monitor a folder and automatically run a recipe when files are dropped in it. Extensive support for AppleScript.
