TinyCal brings Google and Apple Calendar to your Mac in a clean, compact view that keeps your schedule within reach. You can add events and reminders in seconds, display multiple months, combine personal and business calendars, and even include holidays from countries and religions worldwide, all without interrupting your workflow.
Shortcut Bar keeps your most important files, folders, apps, bookmarks, text snippets and even color swatches within instant reach. Add as many shortcuts as you like and access everything with a quick click, so the things you use every day are never more than a moment away.
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.
Battery Indicator puts your remaining battery time right in the menu bar, so you know how long you have before the hunt for a charger begins. Prefer a percentage? That works too. Plugged in, it tells you how long until you’re fully charged, or it simply steps aside until you unplug.
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.
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.
Some apps 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.
InstaCal keeps your events and reminders within easy reach, opening instantly with a shortcut or a simple click. It supports Google, Office 365, Outlook and Apple accounts, offers customizable styles, detailed notifications and seamless background updates to keep your schedule effortlessly in sync.
