    AutoCAD is Autodesk's professional computer-aided design software, used by architects, engineers and construction teams to produce precise 2D drawings and 3D models. The Mac version runs natively on Apple silicon and shares the DWG format at the heart of the AutoCAD family, so drawings move cleanly between Mac, Windows, web and mobile. A subscription also includes the specialised toolsets for fields such as architecture, mechanical and electrical design.

    Key Features

    • Precise 2D drafting and annotation, plus 3D modelling with solids, surfaces and meshes
    • Seven specialised toolsets included, covering architecture, MEP, mechanical, electrical and more
    • Automation through AutoLISP, APIs and add-on apps, with drawing comparison and counting tools
    • Autodesk AI assistance, including Markup Import and Markup Assist
    • Work across desktop, AutoCAD on the web and the mobile app with the same DWG files

    How to Download

    1. Check Autodesk's current system requirements for AutoCAD for Mac before subscribing.
    2. Download from the official site, where you can start a trial or sign in with a subscription.
    3. Download the Mac installer from your Autodesk Account, install it, and sign in to activate.

    System Requirements

    Recent AutoCAD for Mac releases need a recent version of macOS; Autodesk's guidance for the 2027 release points to macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. It runs on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs, and CAD work benefits from generous RAM and storage.

    FAQs

    Is AutoCAD free on Mac?

    There is a time-limited trial from Autodesk, and eligible students and educators can get free one-year educational access. Professional use needs a paid subscription.

    How is AutoCAD different from AutoCAD LT?

    AutoCAD LT focuses on 2D drafting. Full AutoCAD adds 3D modelling, the specialised toolsets, and automation through APIs and AutoLISP.

    AutoCrypt is a file encryption app for Mac from Ecleti, the developer formerly known as Tension Software. Its approach is document-based: instead of re-entering settings every time, you save an AutoCrypt document that records which files to encrypt, where the results go and which options to use. That makes it well suited to repeated jobs, such as encrypting a fresh batch of documents every night, using strong AES encryption protected by your password.

    Key Features

    • Encrypt and decrypt lists of files using the same saved document
    • Strong AES encryption, with Blowfish kept for compatibility with older files
    • Batch mode with an Autorun option for unattended, scheduled jobs
    • Documents store all settings, so repeated encryption is a one-click task
    • Built with current macOS technologies, including sandboxing and Dark Mode support

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac runs a recent version of macOS.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page, or visit the developer Ecleti's website to get the current release directly from them.
    3. Install AutoCrypt, create your first document with a short test list of files, and confirm you can decrypt them before trusting it with originals.

    System Requirements

    AutoCrypt is a native Mac app that runs on a recent version of macOS, on Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It is lightweight, and the storage you need depends on the size of the files you encrypt, since encrypted copies are written alongside your workflow.

    FAQs

    What happens if I forget the password?

    The files cannot be opened without the correct password; that is the point of encryption. Keep the password somewhere safe and separate from the encrypted files.

    Can AutoCrypt run automatically?

    Yes. A document with the Autorun option enabled can be launched to process its file list without manual steps, which suits overnight batch jobs.

    AutoCircularMotion is a small tool for Adobe After Effects that helps motion designers animate layers along circular paths. Moving objects around a centre point is a common need in titles, infographics and logo animation, but setting it up by hand with expressions or repeated keyframes is slow. A helper like this aims to apply the circular motion setup for you, so you can spend your time on timing and design instead of repetitive rigging.

    Key Features

    • Applies circular motion to layers inside After Effects compositions
    • Saves time compared with writing orbit expressions by hand
    • Useful for rotating elements around a shared centre point
    • Fits common motion graphics work such as titles, icons and infographics
    • Small add-on that works within your existing After Effects projects

    How to Download

    1. Make sure you have a supported version of Adobe After Effects installed on your Mac.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to get the tool, since no official product page could be verified for this listing.
    3. Install it following the instructions included with the download, restart After Effects, and apply it to a test layer first.

    System Requirements

    AutoCircularMotion runs inside Adobe After Effects on a Mac with a recent version of macOS, on Intel or Apple silicon depending on your After Effects version. Its own footprint is tiny; the real requirements are those of After Effects itself.

    FAQs

    Do I need After Effects to use it?

    Yes. This is an add-on for After Effects, not a standalone application, so it only works inside that program.

    Is it an official Adobe product?

    No. It is a third-party tool for After Effects. Adobe does not sell or support it, so keep your project files backed up when trying any new add-on.

    Auto-Bounce is a Mac application created by composer Tom Salta with developer David Molnar, and it exists to remove one of the dullest jobs in music production: bouncing. Running stems, multitracks and mix versions out of Logic Pro one at a time can eat an hour at the end of a session. Auto-Bounce runs alongside Logic Pro and automates the whole set, so you define the bounces once and let the app work through them, even unattended.

    Key Features

    • Bounce complete sets of stems, multitracks and mixes with a few clicks
    • Bounce wet and dry versions, and mastered and unmastered mixes, in the same job
    • Different cycle ranges per bounce, with folder and summing stacks supported
    • Solo AUX channels for effects-only stems, and track locking for sidechain work
    • Save entire bounce job sets and recall them for the next project

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac and Logic Pro version meet the requirements below.
    2. Download from the official site, where a 14-day free trial is offered.
    3. Install Auto-Bounce, complete the short Logic Pro setup it describes, and build your first bounce job.

    System Requirements

    Auto-Bounce needs macOS 11 Big Sur or later and Logic Pro 10.7.4 or higher; the developer notes that Logic Pro 12.3 requires Auto-Bounce 1.51. It is a companion app for Logic Pro only, not a plugin for other DAWs.

    FAQs

    Does Auto-Bounce work with other DAWs?

    No. It is built exclusively for Logic Pro, which is where its creators saw the biggest need.

    Is there a free trial?

    Yes, a 14-day free trial is offered on the official site, alongside perpetual licence and subscription options.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Auto Invert is a small extension for Safari that gives websites a dark appearance, including the many sites that still offer no dark mode of their own. It works by inverting the brightness of the page rather than its colours, so text becomes light on a dark background while photos and videos keep looking normal. For anyone who reads on a Mac at night, it is a simple way to cut glare and make long pages easier on the eyes.

    Key Features

    • Turns bright websites into a dark, night-friendly view in Safari
    • Inverts brightness without altering the colour palette of the page
    • Leaves images and videos looking natural instead of negatively inverted
    • Aimed at reducing eye strain and improving readability at night
    • Distributed through the App Store as a Safari extension for Apple devices

    How to Download

    1. Make sure your Mac runs macOS 10.14 or later, as the App Store listing requires.
    2. Download from the official site listing on the App Store.
    3. Install the app, then enable the extension in Safari's settings and reload a bright page to see the effect.

    System Requirements

    The App Store listing states the Mac version requires macOS 10.14 or later, with iPhone and iPad versions needing iOS 15 or later. It is a tiny extension, so storage and memory needs are minimal.

    FAQs

    Does it work on every website?

    It works broadly in Safari, but pages with unusual designs can occasionally look odd. Sites that already have a proper dark mode usually look best with their own setting.

    How is it different from macOS Dark Mode?

    macOS Dark Mode only changes apps and sites that support it. Auto Invert applies its effect to web pages in Safari whether or not the site offers a dark theme of its own.

    Auto Highlight is a small text-highlighting tool by Juraj Mäsiar, the developer behind the FastAddons browser extensions. You define the words that matter to you and the pages where they matter, and the tool highlights those words automatically whenever the page loads. If you spend your day scanning dashboards, listings, support queues or documents for a few key terms, it saves you from running the same find-in-page search over and over again.

    Key Features

    • Automatically highlights words you define, on the pages you define
    • Regular expression support for more flexible matching
    • Custom highlight styles, so different terms can stand out differently
    • Can also hide distracting text by shrinking it or making it transparent
    • Rules can sync between your devices through browser sync in the extension version

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac and browser are up to date.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page, or look for Auto Highlight by FastAddons in your browser's official add-on store.
    3. Install it, add your first word and page rule, then reload a page to see the highlighting in action.

    System Requirements

    Auto Highlight is a lightweight tool that runs on a recent version of macOS, on Intel and Apple silicon Macs, together with a current web browser. It needs very little storage or memory compared with full applications.

    FAQs

    Why not just use find in page?

    Find works once, on one page. Auto Highlight applies your rules automatically on every visit, so recurring terms are already marked when the page opens.

    Is Auto Highlight free?

    The browser extension is offered free by its independent developer, who accepts voluntary support. Check the listing in your browser's add-on store for the current terms.

    Mac Security • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Auth Ally is a small Mac utility for two-factor authentication codes. Its idea is simple: instead of reaching for your phone every time a website asks for a one-time login code, your codes live in your Mac's menu bar, ready to copy. For people who sign in to many services during the day, that removes a repeated interruption.

    Key Features

    • Two-factor login codes available directly from the Mac menu bar
    • Copy a fresh code quickly when a site or app asks for one
    • Keeps verification on your Mac instead of requiring your phone each time
    • Lightweight utility that stays out of the way until you need it
    • Designed for everyday accounts that use one-time passcodes

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac runs a recent version of macOS.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to get the app, since no separate official product page could be verified for this listing.
    3. Install Auth Ally, then add your accounts by following the setup steps the app presents and test a code on one account first.

    System Requirements

    Auth Ally is a lightweight native Mac app that runs on a recent version of macOS, on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. Because it handles login codes, keep your Mac itself protected with a strong password and FileVault.

    FAQs

    Does Auth Ally replace my password?

    No. It handles the second factor, the one-time code. You still sign in with your normal password first, which is what makes two-factor sign-in stronger.

    Is it safe to keep codes on my Mac?

    It is convenient, but it means your Mac becomes a sensitive device. Use a strong login password, keep macOS updated, and only install the app from a source you trust.

    Updated Nov 6, 2026
    Mac Photo & Design • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Aurora HDR is Skylum's dedicated high dynamic range photo editor for the Mac, created with HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff. It takes a set of bracketed shots of the same scene, or a single image, and blends them into one photo that holds detail in both the brightest skies and the darkest shadows. It can run on its own or as a plugin alongside editors like Photoshop and Lightroom, and it is known for results that look photographic rather than heavily processed.

    Key Features

    • Merges bracketed exposures into a single HDR image
    • Tone mapping that can also enhance a single photo
    • One-click Looks for fast starting points, with full manual controls behind them
    • Layers, masking and brushing for local adjustments
    • Support for RAW, JPEG, TIFF and other common camera formats

    How to Download

    1. Make sure your Mac runs a recent version of macOS and has space for your images.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page, or check the developer Skylum's website for the edition they currently offer.
    3. Install the app, activate it with your own licence details if asked, and open a bracketed set to create your first HDR image.

    System Requirements

    Aurora HDR runs on Macs with a recent version of macOS, on Intel and Apple silicon machines. Merging large RAW brackets is processor and memory hungry, so a Mac with more RAM will handle big panoramas and batches more comfortably.

    FAQs

    Does Aurora HDR replace Lightroom or Photoshop?

    Not necessarily. Many photographers use it as a specialist HDR step inside a wider workflow, since it also works as a plugin for those hosts.

    Is a free version available?

    Skylum has historically offered trials on its products. Check the developer's website for the current trial and edition options, as this page does not offer unlocked software.

    Mac Photo & Design • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Aurora HDR 2019 is an HDR photo editor from Skylum, developed together with HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff. It merges bracketed exposures, or even a single image, into a high dynamic range photo using Skylum's Quantum HDR Engine, an AI-based tone mapping system built to keep results natural rather than over-processed. It works as a standalone Mac app and as a plugin for hosts such as Photoshop and Lightroom, so it can slot into an existing photo workflow.

    Key Features

    • Quantum HDR Engine tone mapping for single and bracketed images
    • HDR Smart Structure for detail and depth without obvious artifacts
    • One-click Aurora HDR Looks, including signature looks from professional photographers
    • LUT mapping filter for creative colour and tone adjustments
    • Standalone app or plugin, with RAW, JPEG and TIFF file support

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac runs a recent version of macOS before installing.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page, or visit the developer Skylum's website to check the current edition they offer.
    3. Install Aurora HDR, activate it with the details from your purchase, and open your first bracketed set or single photo.

    System Requirements

    Aurora HDR 2019 needs a Mac running a recent version of macOS, with enough storage for your photo library and a reasonably modern Intel or Apple silicon processor. HDR merging of large RAW files is demanding work, so more RAM will make it smoother.

    FAQs

    Is Aurora HDR still sold by Skylum?

    Skylum's focus has moved to its newer Luminar line, so check the developer's website for what is currently offered. This post does not provide any modified or unlocked version of the software.

    Can it work from a single photo?

    Yes. Alongside merging bracketed exposures, the Quantum HDR Engine can tone map a single image to extend its apparent dynamic range.
