WhyFi 1.4.4 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 21, 2026

⬇ Download Now

WhyFi answers the question every Mac user asks when the internet feels broken: is it my WiFi, my router, my provider or something else? The app lives in your menu bar and watches the connection continuously, testing the separate links in the chain between your Mac and the wider internet. When something goes wrong it points at the likely weak spot, whether that is the wireless signal, the router, the internet provider or the DNS service, and explains in plain language what to try. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

Key Features

• Sits in the menu bar and monitors your connection while you work
• Separates the chain into WiFi, router, provider and DNS stages
• Explains each problem in plain words and suggests a practical fix
• Sold for a single one off payment rather than a subscription

How to Download

1. Open the official WhyFi site and read what the current release covers.
2. Use this link to get the installer: Download from the official site and save the file to your Mac.
3. Open the download and move WhyFi into your Applications folder.
4. Launch the app, then open it the next time your connection misbehaves.

System Requirements

WhyFi is a small macOS menu bar utility. You need a Mac with a wireless connection for its WiFi checks to be meaningful. It observes your network rather than changing router settings, so there is nothing to configure on your other equipment.

FAQs

What does WhyFi actually check?

It tests the stages your connection passes through, so it can say whether the trouble looks like WiFi, the router, your provider or DNS.

Will WhyFi fix my router for me?

No. It diagnoses the problem and tells you how to fix it, but the changes stay in your hands.

MaskMotion 1.0 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 21, 2026

⬇ Download Now

MaskMotion is an After Effects tool that brings masks to life, letting a mask shape move, grow and change across a composition. Masks are often used to hide or reveal parts of a layer, and MaskMotion makes that motion easy to shape with clear controls instead of a long list of manual keyframes. It suits title reveals, wipe transitions and product highlights where the visible area needs to travel with purpose. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

Key Features

• Animates mask shapes across a composition with smooth motion
• Creates reveals, wipes and travelling highlights from masks
• Clear controls that reduce the need for manual keyframes
• Works with masks on footage, shapes and text layers
• Keeps the mask editable so you can refine the result later

How to Download

1. Open After Effects on your Mac and save your current project first.
2. Install the tool through the aescripts manager or copy it into the Scripts folder, then restart After Effects.
3. Draw a mask on a layer, open the MaskMotion panel and choose the motion you want.
4. Preview the animation, adjust the timing and render when it looks right.

System Requirements

MaskMotion needs a Mac with a recent version of macOS and a supported version of Adobe After Effects. It runs inside After Effects as a script, so it shares the memory and processor of your Mac with your project. Larger compositions benefit from a faster Mac.

FAQs

Do I need to know expressions to use MaskMotion?

No, the tool uses simple panel controls, so you can shape mask motion without writing expressions.

Can I still edit the mask after animating it?

Yes, the mask stays editable in your composition, so you can change its shape or timing at any point in the project.

Dust Transition 1.1.2 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 21, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Dust Transition is a GPU accelerated plugin for After Effects that dissolves an image into millions of pixel sized particles, turning a plain cut into a cinematic change of scene. The particles are shaped by noise algorithms, so the dissolve feels organic rather than mechanical, and forces like wind and gravity can push the dust in a chosen direction. You can build up to ten layers of particles for a richer, sand like effect, and render the result in 3D space with camera depth of field. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

Key Features

• Dissolves images into millions of pixel sized particles
• GPU accelerated for smooth previews on modern Macs
• Three transition styles: linear, radial and image based

FAQs

Does Dust Transition work in Premiere Pro?

No, this edition is built for After Effects. A separate edition exists for DaVinci Resolve and Fusion.

Can I shape the transition with my own image?

Yes, the image based style lets a black and white image or a precomposition control the shape of the dissolve.

PathSmear 1.0 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 21, 2026

⬇ Download Now

PathSmear is an After Effects tool that adds a smear effect to moving layers, giving fast motion a soft, painted trail instead of a hard, frozen frame. It works from the motion path of a layer, so the smear follows the direction of travel and fades as the movement slows. The result feels fluid and handmade, which suits character animation, title moves and quick graphic transitions. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

Key Features

• Creates smear trails that follow the motion path of a layer
• Adjustable smear strength for subtle or bold results
• Keeps the original layer intact so you can refine the timing later

System Requirements

PathSmear needs a Mac with a recent version of macOS and a supported version of Adobe After Effects. It runs as a script inside After Effects, so it uses the memory and processor of your Mac like a normal project. A faster Mac gives smoother previews.

FAQs

Does PathSmear work with any layer?

Yes, it works with shapes, text and footage, as long as the layer has motion to follow.

Can I control how strong the smear looks?

Yes, the smear strength is adjustable, so you can keep the trail faint for a clean look or make it strong for a stylised, hand drawn feel.

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 21, 2026

⬇ Download Now

ZOUTLINER is a helper plugin that works inside ZBrush, the digital sculpting program from Maxon. Anyone who has built a character or a hard surface model in ZBrush knows how fast a project fills with tools, subtools and parts, and how much time goes into finding the piece you want to edit next. ZOUTLINER is made for that side of the job: it gives sculptors a clearer way to view and manage the structure of their work from within the interface. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

Key Features

4. Copy the files into the ZPlugs folder of your ZBrush install, restart ZBrush, and check the ZPlugin menu.

System Requirements

ZOUTLINER needs a licensed copy of ZBrush on your Mac, since it is a plugin rather than a standalone program. ZBrush itself asks for a recent version of macOS. Plugin compatibility can vary between ZBrush releases, so match the plugin build to your ZBrush version.

FAQs

Is ZOUTLINER a standalone application?

No. It is a plugin for ZBrush and only works inside a ZBrush installation.

Where does the plugin appear in ZBrush?

Clop 3.7.1 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 21, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Clop, from the Low Tech Guys, is a Mac optimiser with a simple idea: copy big, paste small. While it runs, every image you copy to the clipboard is compressed to the smallest sensible size before you paste it. Drop in videos, images, GIFs or PDFs and Clop optimises them, converts them to modern formats such as JPEG XL, AVIF and AV1, and can squeeze a file until it fits under a size limit you choose. All processing happens on your own Mac. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

Key Features

• Clipboard optimisation shrinks copied images automatically, ready to paste
• Compresses videos, images, GIFs and PDFs dropped in or in watched folders
• Converts to JPEG XL, WebP, AVIF, AV1, WebM and HEVC formats
• Fit under size mode keeps compressing until a file meets your limit
• Screen recordings are optimised as soon as recording stops

How to Download

1. Visit the official Clop page to compare the free and Pro feature sets.
2. Use this link to get the installer: Download from the official site and save the file to your Mac.
3. Open the download and install Clop.
4. Launch Clop, copy an image, and paste it anywhere to see the smaller result.

System Requirements

Clop needs a Mac running macOS 14 or later, according to the developer page. It runs on Apple Silicon and Intel machines. Since all processing is local, no account or internet connection is needed for compression.

FAQs

Is Clop free?

Partly. Clipboard optimisation and downscaling stay free. After a trial of the Pro features, other tools are limited per session unless you buy the licence.

Does Clop upload my files?

No. The developer states that Clop uses no cloud services and sends no file data to the internet.
