    CloverBootloader is an EFI boot loader best known in the custom Mac build community. It sits between your firmware and your operating system, shows a boot menu and applies the settings and patches your hardware needs to start macOS, Windows or Linux from one machine. It is a tool for patient tinkerers rather than casual users, since its power lives in a detailed configuration file that rewards careful reading and small, tested changes. Updated Aug 17, 2026.

    Key Features

    • Boots macOS alongside Windows and Linux on one machine
    • Graphical boot menu with themes and boot options
    • Deep configuration for hardware specific boot settings
    • Support for ACPI patching and kernel level adjustments
    • Works on both UEFI systems and older legacy BIOS setups

    How to Download

    1. Open the official project releases page and get the Mac installer package for this release.
    2. Back up your current EFI folder before you change anything.
    3. Run the installer to a test USB drive first and boot from it to verify your setup.

    System Requirements

    CloverBootloader runs at boot time rather than inside macOS, so it needs compatible PC hardware with UEFI or legacy BIOS firmware. A spare USB drive for test boots is strongly advised for any custom build.

    FAQs

    Is CloverBootloader beginner friendly?

    Honestly, no. It assumes you are comfortable editing configuration files and recovering a system that fails to boot. Beginners should read community guides first.

    What is the config file for?

    The configuration file tells Clover which patches, drivers and boot arguments your hardware needs. Most boot problems trace back to a setting inside it.

    Should I update Clover on a working system?

    Only with a backup and a tested fallback boot drive. If your machine boots well today, update on a test drive first and keep the working setup untouched.

    Lottie animations are loved because they stay small and sharp, but a busy After Effects project can still produce files that feel heavier than they should. LottiePacker is a tool sold through aescripts that helps you pack and tidy those exports before they go into a website or an app. It is aimed at motion designers who already work with Lottie and want a cleaner handoff.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Built for Lottie files exported from Adobe After Effects projects
    • Helps reduce animation file size for faster loading pages
    • Packs the assets an animation needs into a tidier package
    • Fits the normal aescripts install and licensing workflow
    • Useful for web, iOS and Android animation handoffs

    How to Download

    1. Open the vendor page here: Download from the official site
    2. Sign in to your aescripts account and complete the purchase if needed.
    3. Install the tool with your other After Effects extensions and restart the app.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac that runs a supported version of Adobe After Effects, enough free space for your project files, and an internet connection for the purchase, download and license activation steps.

    FAQs

    Do I need After Effects to use LottiePacker?

    Yes. It is made for people who create or export Lottie animations from After Effects, so that host app is part of the workflow.

    Will it change how my animation looks?

    The goal is packing and size control, not restyling. Always preview the exported animation before you publish it, just to be safe.

    Where do updates come from?

    Updates are handled through the aescripts site and your account there, which is where the tool is sold and licensed.

    Some animations look best when you can actually see how they are built. Path Visualizer, from Plugin Everything and sold on aescripts, draws the vertices, beziers and handles behind your text and paths right inside After Effects. The drawing updates live as the animation moves, which gives logos, lettering and shape work a precise technical or blueprint feel.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Draws vertices, beziers and handles based on text or paths
    • Updates live while your animation plays or changes
    • Great for technical and blueprint style motion graphics
    • Turns ordinary paths into clear, dynamic visual graphics
    • Made for Adobe After Effects by Plugin Everything

    How to Download

    1. Go to the vendor page here: Download from the official site
    2. Buy or download the plugin through your aescripts account.
    3. Install it for After Effects, restart the app and apply it to a layer.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac running a supported version of Adobe After Effects, plus an internet connection for the download and license steps. A recent Mac is wise for smooth previews on complex paths.

    FAQs

    What does Path Visualizer actually draw?

    It draws the structure of a path or text shape: the points, the curves and the handles you would normally only see while editing.

    Does it follow animation?

    Yes. The vendor notes that the drawing updates live with any animation, so the visual stays in step with your moving paths.

    Who is it for?

    Motion designers who like exposed structure, explainer graphics and blueprint style titles will get the most from it.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 17, 2026

    When every folder on your Mac is the same flat blue, finding the right one becomes a reading chore. Color Folder Pro fixes that with color. It lets you recolor folder icons, apply ready made templates, or use your own image as a folder icon, so work, photos and personal projects each get a look you can spot at a glance.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Change folder icon colors quickly with any color you like
    • More than 700 built in icon templates to choose from
    • Set your own image as a custom folder icon
    • Batch change icons for many folders at the same time
    • Gradient colors for folders that need to stand out more

    How to Download

    1. Get the app from its store page here: Download from the official site
    2. Install it from the Mac App Store and open it once.
    3. Pick a folder, choose a color, template or image, and apply it.

    System Requirements

    The Mac App Store listing requires macOS 11.5 or later. The app is small, and because it only changes folder icons, it runs happily alongside everything else on your Mac.

    FAQs

    Can I change many folders at once?

    Yes. The app supports changing icons for multiple folders in one go, which saves real time on a big tidy up.

    Can I undo a folder color?

    You can change a folder again at any time, including setting it back to a plain standard look if a project ends.

    Does it move or rename my files?

    No. It only restyles the folder icon. Your files, names and folder structure stay exactly where they were.

    Reeder, by Silvio Rizzi, has been rethought from the ground up. Instead of unread counts and a pile of separate inboxes, the current Reeder puts everything you follow into one timeline: RSS feeds, videos, podcasts and social posts together. Your place in that timeline syncs across devices, so the Mac picks up exactly where your iPhone left off.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • One unified timeline for feeds, video, podcasts and social posts
    • Timeline position syncs across devices instead of unread counts
    • iCloud sync for subscriptions and tagged saved items
    • Tag items as Links, Favorites, Bookmarks or Later
    • Shared feeds so you can follow timelines together with others

    How to Download

    1. Visit the official Reeder site here: Download from the official site
    2. Follow the link there to the Mac App Store listing.
    3. Install Reeder, sign in with iCloud, and add your first feeds.

    System Requirements

    The current Reeder needs macOS 14 or later and an iCloud account for syncing. Content is fetched directly from the sources you follow, so an internet connection is needed for updates.

    FAQs

    Is this the same app as Reeder Classic?

    No. Reeder Classic is the older reader with unread counts and third party sync services. This Reeder is the newer timeline based app.

    Does Reeder use Feedly or Feedbin?

    The new Reeder syncs through iCloud only. If your reading lives in Feedly or Feedbin, Reeder Classic is the version built for that.

    Is Reeder free?

    It starts free for a limited number of feeds, with an optional subscription that unlocks more feeds and extra features.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 17, 2026

    A RAR file lands in your Downloads folder, you double click it, and macOS just shrugs. RAR Unarchiver Unzip RAR ZIP exists for exactly that moment. It is a straightforward Mac utility for opening RAR and ZIP archives and getting the files inside onto your disk, without Terminal commands and without a heavy file manager.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Opens RAR archives that macOS cannot extract on its own
    • Handles everyday ZIP files alongside RAR in one place
    • Simple window built around quick, no fuss extraction
    • Lets you pick where the extracted files should go
    • Good fit for downloads, backups and shared project folders

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac version.
    2. Open the downloaded file and move the app to your Applications folder.
    3. Launch it, choose an archive, and extract it to a folder you pick.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac running a reasonably recent version of macOS and enough free disk space for both the archive and its extracted contents, which can be much larger than the compressed file.

    FAQs

    Why can macOS not open RAR files by itself?

    RAR is a format Apple does not include support for in the built in Archive Utility, so a small extra app like this one is needed.

    Can it open password protected archives?

    Protected archives need their correct password before anything can be extracted. No extractor can open one without it.

    Does it also create RAR files?

    Tools in this class focus on opening archives. For sending files out, macOS already makes ZIP files from the Finder for free.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 17, 2026

    MacPilot from Koingo Software puts the hidden side of macOS into a normal, friendly window. macOS carries hundreds of settings that Apple never shows in System Settings, and reaching them usually means memorising terminal commands. MacPilot gathers over a thousand of those options into tidy sections for Finder, the Dock, Safari and more, adds maintenance and network tools, and lets you undo a change just as easily as you made it. Updated Aug 17, 2026.

    Key Features

    • Unlocks over 1200 hidden macOS settings and features
    • Finder and Dock tweaks like showing hidden files
    • Maintenance tools for caches, logs and system databases
    • Network utility with ping, port scan and DNS lookups
    • Save points and reset options that undo your changes

    How to Download

    1. Use Download from the official site to get the current Mac build.
    2. Open the downloaded file and move MacPilot into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch the app, browse a section and change one setting at a time.

    System Requirements

    The current MacPilot line needs macOS 13 or later, and the developer lists older builds for older systems. Some settings only apply to certain macOS versions, and the app notes those as you browse.

    FAQs

    Do I need to know terminal commands?

    No. That is the whole point of the app. Every tweak is a switch, menu or field in a window, with on screen help explaining what it does.

    Can I undo a change I regret?

    Yes. You can reset a single feature to its default or use save points to return a whole setup to how it was before your changes.

    Is there a trial version?

    Koingo offers a time limited trial from its site, so you can explore the settings on your own Mac before deciding on a license.

    When a Sony Xperia phone starts misbehaving, the tool Sony itself points people to is Xperia Companion. It is the desktop companion for Xperia phones and tablets, and on a Mac it gives you a calm, guided way to handle the jobs a phone cannot always fix on its own, like a stuck update or software that needs a full repair.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Updates Xperia device software from your Mac
    • Software repair for phones with deeper system problems
    • Back up and restore content from supported Xperia models
    • Helps transfer content when you move to a new Xperia
    • Browse and manage files stored on the connected device

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac installer.
    2. Open the downloaded file and move the app into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch it, then connect your Xperia with a USB cable and follow the prompts.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac with a recent version of macOS, a USB cable for your Xperia, free space for backups, and an internet connection, since updates and repairs download fresh software from Sony.

    FAQs

    Does Xperia Companion work with non Sony phones?

    No. It is built only for Sony Xperia devices and will not manage phones from other brands.

    Will a software repair erase my data?

    A repair reinstalls the system and can erase the phone, so back up anything important first whenever the device still allows it.

    Why does my newer Xperia not show full support?

    Sony notes that phones from 2019 onward cannot use the backup, restore and transfer parts, though update and repair may still work.

    macOS opens ZIP files on its own, then stops being helpful the moment a RAR or 7z file arrives. RAR Extractor Unarchiver Pro fills that gap. It is a compact Mac App Store utility that extracts a long list of archive formats, and it can also compress files and add encryption when you want to send something private.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Extracts RAR, ZIP, TAR, 7z, GZIP, BZIP2 and many more formats
    • Also handles ISO, PKG, JAR, XIP and other less common files
    • Batch decompression for opening several archives at once
    • Compress and encrypt files to keep private content safer
    • Opens password protected archives when you know the password

    How to Download

    1. Get the app from its store page here: Download from the official site
    2. Install it from the Mac App Store and launch it once.
    3. Open an archive from inside the app, or set it as your go to extractor.

    System Requirements

    The store listing asks for macOS 10.7 or later, which covers almost any Mac still in use. The app itself is small, at under 10 MB, so it installs in seconds.

    FAQs

    Can it open a password protected RAR file?

    Yes, if you know the correct password. Like every extractor, it cannot guess or bypass a password you do not have.

    Can it create archives too?

    Yes. Alongside extraction, it can compress files and encrypt them, which is handy before sharing by email or cloud storage.

    Why do some EXE files fail to open?

    The developer notes that a few EXE files are really video files rather than archives, so there is nothing inside them to extract.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 17, 2026

    Every Mac app hides dozens of useful shortcuts inside its menus, and nobody remembers them all. KeyClu is a small free utility that solves that in the simplest way: press the Command key twice and hold, and a tidy panel lists the shortcuts for the app you are in right now. Release the key and the panel is gone.

    Updated: Aug 17, 2026

    Key Features

    • Press Command twice and hold to see current app shortcuts
    • Shows menu shortcuts for the app in front of you
    • Lets you hide shortcuts you never use and bookmark favorites
    • Supports custom shortcuts through its My Shortcuts list
    • Can also list macOS system and other hotkey panels

    How to Download

    1. Start on the developer page here: Download from the official site
    2. Download the latest disk image, or install it with Homebrew if you prefer.
    3. Move KeyClu to Applications, launch it and grant the access it requests.

    System Requirements

    KeyClu needs macOS 11 Big Sur or later and works on Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It is light, free to use, and released under an open source license.

    FAQs

    How do I open the shortcut list?

    By default you press the Command key twice and hold it. The panel appears while you hold and closes when you let go.

    Does KeyClu work in every app?

    It reads the menus of the active app, so most Mac apps work well. Apps with icon only menus may show fewer entries.

    Can I add my own shortcuts?

    Yes. The My Shortcuts list lets you keep custom entries, and the settings let you manage which apps are included or ignored.
