Aktar is a free, open-source app for instantly sharing files through your own S3-compatible storage. Drop a file and Aktar uploads it to S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, MinIO or similar storage, then copies the shareable link to your clipboard.

Evlat is a thin strip on your Mac's screen edge, one ring per Claude Code or Codex session. When one needs a permission or an answer, it turns amber; one click opens its terminal tab. It also tracks long commands and remote servers. Native, no permissions.

CoIsland watches CI, deploys, errors, incidents and databases (35+ connectors) and shows only what breaks, in an island on the edge of your Mac's screen. Monitors are plain SQL or shell files. One click hands an alert to Claude Code, Codex or Cortex Code.

Declutr sorts your Desktop, Downloads or any folder into folders by file type in one click: Images, Documents, Videos, Archives, Code, 3D Models and more. One Undo puts every file back. New since the first launch: it's on the Mac App Store, with Smart Rules (name, extension, age, size), watched folders that sort new files as they land, and a daily cleanup. Rules, not AI: it never reads what's inside your files. Free to sort, Pro is $8.99 once.

Every small file task on a Mac ends in a browser tab: upload, wait, download, close. Ricly puts 17 of those tools in the Finder right-click menu: send big files as a link, find duplicates, merge PDFs, strip the location data out of a photo, pull the text out of an image, remove a background, upscale, convert, compress. They run on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded unless you deliberately share a file. One price instead of five single-purpose subscriptions.

GroupShelf groups windows from any Mac app into tabs, like browser tabs for your whole desktop. Hold Shift and drag one window onto another to make or join a group. Move or resize one window and the whole group follows. Pull a tab off to split it again, color your tabs, name your groups. Native and lightweight, for macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon and Intel. $9.99 one-time, with a 30-day free trial of every feature.

There’s no importing, no separate media library, no account and no cloud.

Enter Space puts rclone's 70+ storage providers (S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, SFTP/NAS, WebDAV and more) inside the Files app, Finder and a full native app. Version 7 adds FSKit volume mounts on macOS 27, a Photos timeline and a film Theater that run on storage you own, and point-in-time backups with Time Portal. It also brings duplicate finding, Space Inspector and a code editor with git. Secrets stay in your Keychain and nothing is collected.

Activity Monitor lists a thousand processes, a hundred of them called Google Chrome Helper. Vitals adds every helper to the app that launched it, so you see 60 apps instead of 1,000 processes, each with one figure for memory, CPU, energy, disk and network. It keeps 30 days of history, alerts you when an app misbehaves, finds forgotten dev servers, and shows temperatures, fans and battery. Every readout can sit in your menu bar, arranged your way. Pay once. No subscription, no account.

KiwiDesk is a tiling window manager for macOS that keeps your Mac calm and organized: every window finds its place in one of seven layouts, apps open with a shortcut, and mouse users get a Space Bar they can drag windows onto. It works with your native macOS Desktops: bind a profile to each one and it loads the moment you swipe there, with its own spaces, layouts, colors and shortcuts. Everything is set in a native Settings app, no config file needed. Free to use, source on GitHub.
