Boring Notch
Put the notch in your MacBook to good use by having it display info about the song you’re listening to — including album art and controls.
Showdown
Create presentations based on markdown. Supports images and speaker notes.
xbar
Put a menu in your menu bar that runs pretty much anything — for example, opening a URL or running a script. Get information at a glance from hundreds of plug-ins.
QuickRecorder
Record screens, windows, apps and more, including sounds from any app. A presenter overlay feature is available in macOS 14.
Copi
A clipboard system that promises security because clips are not stored in the system — making it inaccessible to malware. An interesting option if you work with sensitive data.
noTunes
Annoyed by iTunes or Apple Music starting up when you don’t want it to? This app will stop it.
FreeCAD
3D modeller for designing real-life objects of any size. Easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. Multiplatform and highly customizable.
Anki
Flashcards with free synchronization across all your devices. Embed audio clips, images, videos and scientific markup on your cards. Many add-ons available.
Easydict
Translate input, screenshots or selections from the menu bar. There are 18 translation services you can choose from. Some require a paid API, but you can disable them in the settings.
Loop
Trigger a radial menu and use it to position your windows. Customize the loop’s thickness and corners, or turn it off and use keyboard shortcuts.
Blurred
Reduce distraction by blurring out your inactive apps. Use a slider in the menu bar to choose opacity.
ProcessSpy
Take stock of macOS processes with features like colour coding based on search, bringing a selected process to the foreground, searching for information online, opening or copying the path, quitting a process — and much more.
