Stretch It
Set a timer by pulling from the menu bar. Defaults to minutes, but you can change to this to seconds by holding down the option key. Hold the shift key for hours.
FastDMG
Mount DMGs the no-fuss, no-muss way. Doesn’t verify disk images, auto-accepts license agreements, doesn’t show in the dock, doesn’t display windows or menus.
Nimble Commander
Dual-pane file manager with features including file search, file viewer, batch renaming, and lots more advanced stuff aimed at power users.
OneMenu
System monitoring (CPU, memory and disk), a window manager and a keyboard cleaning mode — all in one from the menu bar.
BarTranslate
Type and translate from the menu bar, using Google or DeepL. Includes a configurable hot key.
Aerial
Screensaver plays videos from tvOS, including classics shot over locations, from orbit and underwater. Add your own or use shared videos.
Daily
Keyboard-first to-do app sorts by date with sections for focus, next and done. New features coming soon.
Gladys
Set aside stuff on a shelf for use later on — links, text snippets, map locations, contacts, images, photos, emails, messages, and more.
Bunch
Use plain text files to trigger automations from the menu bar or keyboard. Launch apps, load files, open websites, changes settings, and much more.
Licensed
Your Mac’s Passwords app doesn’t have a good way to store software licences, so why not get an app that specializes in doing just that?
TrashSweep
Monitors the trash and deletes the oldest files first when the total size exceeds your defined limit.
Arc
Organize with spaces and profiles, split view, themes, and more. Promises to be private and secure.
