You know that tiny moment of panic when your cursor disappears on a giant display and you start wiggling the mouse like you’re summoning help from the tech gods. Cursor Pro fixes that with a customizable highlight and a precise, one-key magnifier that makes clicks, movements, and pixels unmistakably clear. It is built for polished presentations, remote demos, and anyone who prefers looking in control instead of slightly lost.
QuickRes makes switching screen resolutions on your Mac effortless, whether you are pushing a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro to a sharp 3840 × 2400 or unlocking crisp HiDPI modes on older displays for a surprisingly refined workspace.
Battery Indicator shows the remaining battery time or percentage right in your menu bar. This is especially useful on macOS Sierra 10.12.2 or later where clicking the battery icon no longer shows the remaining time.
Shotty keeps your latest screenshots right at hand, so you can drag, drop, and annotate them in seconds. It even supports screen recordings, all wrapped in a clean, thoughtful design that makes Finder digging feel like ancient history.
Mountain helps you mount, eject, remount and group volumes with a click, notifies you when it’s safe to unplug, reconnects favorite servers after sleep, and even shows which stubborn app is blocking your drive.
FiveNotes is a focused note-taking companion built for quick thoughts, tiny reminders, and everyday scraps of information. With exactly five color-coded notes, seamless shortcuts, Markdown support, and iCloud sync, it stays neatly within reach without turning into a bloated notebook.
Lungo keeps your Mac awake and the display bright when you actually need it, whether you’re presenting, following a recipe, or monitoring a long task. Activate it with a click or shortcut, set custom durations, automate behavior, and let it quietly step aside when power is disconnected.
Silenz is built for people who work with headphones on and still want to stay aware of the world around them. It listens for meaningful sounds like voices or ringing phones, then automatically pauses or lowers your music. You can even blend in amplified ambient sound, so you stay focused without feeling cut off from reality.
WorkspacePro lets you launch entire workspaces with a single shortcut. It opens apps, URLs, and files, arranges windows exactly how you like them, and even hides or force-quits when needed, so your desktop snaps into place in seconds instead of minutes.
Some apps quietly drain CPU power even when you are not using them, leading to heat, noise, and shorter battery life. App Tamer automatically slows or pauses background hogs, smartly uses Apple Silicon efficiency cores, and keeps performance focused where it matters most.
