Utilities, developer tools, a forensics app, a translator, a screensaver and some solitaire. Prices are on the cards because hiding them is a choice and it's never a good one. No subscriptions anywhere in this list. Two apps at the end ship outside the App Store, and their cards say exactly why.
Free / IAP = the app itself is free, with an optional purchase for extras. Where that purchase is purely cosmetic, the card says so.
Create, repair and manage symbolic links in a real GUI, for the first time, ever as this was not possible, even with CLI tools. Offload huge files to an external drive and leave a working link behind; build lndir-style mirror folders that keep themselves current. Plus the symlink action in Finder actually works, and creates a symlink for anything instantly.
An overlay reads text anywhere on screen and re-renders it translated, live — plus speech-to-text and type-to-translate. Strictly offline on Apple's own language packs.
A Native macOS translator, designed to be nearly identical to iOS translate app, because this is the macOS translate app that apple didn't include in macOS. With desktop philosophical equivalents to mobile features.
Data carving on a phone. Skips the file system entirely and reads raw bytes to rebuild photos, video and documents from their signatures. Fully offline — nothing is uploaded, ever. Plus it's endlessly extensible, with a custom config file, you can edit or add in any file signatures you are looking for specifically. For example if you know the dimensions of jxl files that got corrupt, you can recover exactly and only those images.
X-ray any app on your Mac: which frameworks built it, native or web wrapper, sandbox status, entitlements, and every permission it has quietly been granted. There is no other app that does this — nothing to compare it against.
A Reverse Engineer on your dock.
Man pages that are a joy to read: persistent highlighting, annotations, a floating HUD beside your terminal, and the first search that covers your entire manpath by term.
Search cask, selfupdate or address family and land on the brew, port and netstat pages respectively — about two seconds across 40,000+ pages.
Press space in Finder and actually see the file: syntax-highlighted code, rendered Markdown, browsable archives, readable plists — 200+ formats.
Just shipped: animated Quick Look themes — as far as I can tell, the first animated syntax-highlighting themes to land in Quick Look at all.
Speak in your language and have the translated text typed into whatever app you're in. The first multilingual speech-to-text auto-typer that needs no language downloads and no storage-hungry local models — nothing to babysit, nothing eating 10 GB.
Scan photos and folders for NSFW content, on device. The first one that doesn't lock your results in a proprietary vault — files stay where they are, and you move them wherever you want.
Exploit? No.. Read, append, prepend, surgically edit or fully replace the hardcoded system instructions of any agent client — including the ones that hide them completely, like Xcode.
Previously GemPT: Still does the original job too: a bridge that lets legacy OpenAI- and Ollama-compatible apps talk to Gemini.
Finds true duplicates by content, not by hopeful filename matching, shows you exactly what it found, and deletes nothing without your say-so.
File silo, clipboard manager with append, colour picker, OCR text grabber, system and network info — the daily Mac utilities in one window. 4.0 brought new navigation, settings and deeper theming.
Proper ISO & RAR xD decryption/extraction plus full encrypted ZIP/7z, checkout whats inside, and see sizes first.. Get Unzipped for us, get your friends Unzipped, your boss, a stranger, who cares! It's completely free!
Convert images, video and audio between almost any format, plus audio-to-visualizer and video-to-animated-image. Local, no upload, no watermark, no queue. Instant conversion with iOS Files & macOS Finder extensions
Build complete Assets.xcassets bundles and App Store imagery for every Apple platform( also android and windows assets) from your iPhone or iPad, then sync straight into Xcode.. The greatest asset hole with all assets whole, be a SmartAsset.
Pull every link off a page, download all loaded images, filter by type and hand the results off by QR code. Now with a proper Safari extension.
High-resolution wiring diagrams, pinouts and schematics, searchable across hundreds of circuits. Zooms into enormous documents without tearing, because it isn't a web wrapper.
White, pink, brown and the rest of the spectrum, plus precise tone generation — for focus, for masking a loud room, or for testing whether your headphones are lying about the low end.
Slow, cinematic art and current weather motion for the big screen — for the many hours when the television is on and nobody is watching it. Powered by Metal \m/ GPU programming for Apple Silicon
Announces the frontmost app as focus changes. Built for accessibility, developers, or anyone who might have a window appear when they are not actively looking at the screen.
A deliberately tiny remote: swipe, type, done. No account, no pairing ceremony, no onboarding carousel explaining what a swipe is. Swipe for back/home, swipe for navigation.
Klondike, FreeCell, Yukon, Spider and Forty Thieves with daily seeded deals, streaks and Game Center leaderboards. No timers, no energy meters, no rush. Metal Powered \m/ animations on the back of the card decks, literally.
Move and resize any window with a modifier and mouse movement alone. Hold right ⌘ and move the mouse to drag a window; hold left ⌘ to resize it. No clicking, no aiming at title bars or 4-pixel corners.
Use a left/right setup to reduce key-to-app binding
Can't be sandboxed: reaching into other apps' windows means the Accessibility API, which the sandbox doesn't grant.
A native client for Google Labs FX. Built to the same rules as everything above it — fully sandboxed, no extra entitlements, nothing reaching outside its own container. Same binary you'd have gotten from the store. Sideload it to your iOS with the source code on github. or via ipa (iOS AppStore package, not beer) buh dum tis
Kept out by policy, not by permissions — a third-party client for someone else's service isn't allowed on the store.
Some have been in daily use for months, most are frequently used, and all stay deliberately undescribed until they ship, we're committed to claiming more "first" solutions for niche or specific problems.
