BlockBlock
BlockBlock is a menu bar app that warns of persistently installed software. In other words, it looks for software that’s installing itself in such a way that it will always be running and will fire up again after a system reboot.

Soduto
This menu bar app is probably the only open-source alternative to Apple’s “Continuity“. Want to copy-paste content across your devices or simply share a link? Browse remote files? All of this and more is possible with Soduto. Also supports Android and Linux. Soduto seems to work fine on a M1 MacBook Pro (Big Sur 11.2.2).

M1 Battery Management
With this menu bar app it is possible to keep a chronically plugged in M1 Macbook at 80% battery, since that will prolong the longevity of the battery. This app will not work on non-M1 macs. In that case try the free version of AlDente.
