    • Hexadecimal, octal and binary calculations for programming work
    • Large set of unit conversions and scientific constants built in

    Easy Data Transform is a desktop tool for cleaning and reshaping data without writing code. It is made for analysts, office staff, researchers and anyone who receives messy spreadsheets and needs them in a tidy, consistent shape. You build a chain of visual steps on a canvas, watch the result update as you work, and export the finished data once it looks right. The same flow can be saved and run again on new files, which saves hours on reports that repeat every week.

    Key Features

    • Visual canvas where each change is a step you can add, remove and reorder
    • Many built in transforms for filtering, joining, merging, sorting and splitting data
    • Reads and writes Excel, CSV, JSON, XML and plain text files
    • Live preview that shows the output updating as you adjust each step
    • Batch processing and command line running for repeated jobs

    How to Download

    1. Visit the vendor website and open the download page for Mac.
    2. Download from the official site and open the disk image you receive.
    3. Drag the app into your Applications folder and launch it from there.

    FAQs

    Do I need coding skills to use it?

    No. Every operation is picked from a list and set up with plain controls, and the preview shows what each step does.

    Does my data leave my computer?

    No. The app works locally on your Mac and can do its processing fully offline, so private files stay on your own machine.

    Can I reuse a flow on new files?

    Yes. You save the chain of steps as a transform file and run it again whenever fresh data arrives in the same layout.

    MusicBrainz Picard is the official tag editor for the MusicBrainz database, built to rescue messy music collections. If your library is full of tracks named track one, unknown artist or a tangle of wrong album titles, Picard listens to the files, matches them against a huge community maintained database and writes back clean, consistent tags. It is a patient tool for collectors, DJs and anyone moving a large library onto a Mac and wanting it organised properly at last.

    Key Features

    • Matches files using the MusicBrainz database and AcoustID audio fingerprints
    • Album centred workflow, so whole releases are tagged consistently rather than file by file
    • Fetches and attaches cover art to your files where the database provides it
    • File renaming and folder organisation driven by your own naming rules
    • Powerful tagging scripts for people who want custom control over their metadata
    • Plugin support to extend the app, plus a command line tool included in the current release line

    How to Download

    Picard is published by the MetaBrainz project on its own website. Open the official downloads page, choose the macOS build for your Mac, install it, then drag a folder of music into the app and let it look your files up before you save any changes. Download from the official site

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Picard free? Yes. Picard is free and open source, maintained by the MetaBrainz Foundation and its community of contributors.

    Will Picard change my files automatically? No. It shows you the matches it proposes, and nothing is written until you choose to save. You stay in control of every change.

    What if a release is missing from the database? MusicBrainz is community maintained, so you can add the release through the MusicBrainz website and then tag against it. Many missing entries are simply albums nobody has contributed yet.

    Finder Windows is a small utility from Zevrix Solutions for anyone whose desktop fills up with open Finder windows. It keeps a floating panel with the full list of open windows, so you can click the folder you want and bring it forward instead of shuffling windows around by hand.

    Key Features

    • Floating panel listing every open Finder window in one clear view
    • Click a name to bring that window forward, or hold Command to bring only that window
    • Menu bar list as an alternative when you prefer to hide the panel
    • Docking to the screen edge with a handle you can size and colour yourself
    • Tag colours, folder icons and path tooltips shown for listed windows

    How to Download

    1. Open the vendor product page and read the overview and trial terms.
    2. Download from the official site and install the app.
    3. Launch it, grant the access macOS asks for, and place the panel where it suits your screen.

    System Requirements

    The vendor version notes state that current releases need macOS 13 or later, and a legacy build remains available for older systems.

    FAQs

    Does Finder Windows replace the Finder itself?

    No. It works alongside the Finder as a navigation helper. Your files, folders and Finder settings stay exactly as they are.

    Can I keep using it after the trial ends?

    The vendor notes say the app can be used indefinitely in a free mode after the trial, with several limitations compared to the paid mode.

    What does the single window option do?

    Holding Command while you click a window name brings only that window to the front, which clears visual clutter when many windows overlap.

    Dropletee is an effect plugin for Adobe After Effects, sold through aescripts. It creates a liquid distortion look by gathering frames over time and pushing pixels along the surface of your image, so footage appears to melt, ripple and flow like wet paint or oil on water. Iridescent colour and lighting controls add a glossy sheen that shifts as the image moves. Motion designers use it for music videos, titles and social clips where a fluid treatment should carry the piece.

    Key Features

    • Liquid distortion that accumulates frames over time for flowing motion
    • Pixels move along surface normals for a believable wet look
    • Iridescent colours and lighting for shifting glossy highlights
    • GPU accelerated processing through WebGPU for smoother previews
    • Works as a standard effect inside After Effects compositions

    How to Download

    1. Open the Dropletee product page on aescripts and complete your purchase.
    2. Download from the official site and run the installer or use the aescripts manager app.
    3. Restart After Effects and apply Dropletee from the effects menu to a layer.

    System Requirements

    Dropletee needs a Mac running a supported version of Adobe After Effects, with a GPU capable of handling its WebGPU based processing. Check the aescripts product page for the exact After Effects versions listed for this release.

    FAQs

    Which host app does Dropletee need?

    It is an After Effects plugin, so you need a working After Effects installation on your Mac before you can use the effect.

    What kind of footage suits it best?

    Clips with clear shapes, faces, text or products show the liquid flow most clearly, since the effect pushes the visible surfaces around.

    Is the effect fast to preview?

    Processing is GPU accelerated, which helps previews stay smooth, though very large compositions will still depend on the strength of your Mac graphics hardware.

    • Offline processing, with files staying on your Mac rather than on a server
    • The same friendly layout as the Sejda web service, so it feels familiar straight away

    Is Sejda PDF Desktop free? It is free to use within daily limits set by the maker. If you process PDFs all day, the paid plans remove those limits. The current limits are listed on the official site.

    Do my files get uploaded when I use the desktop app? No. The desktop app works locally on your computer. That is the main reason to choose it over the web version for private or work documents.

    RustDesk is an open source remote desktop app from Purslane for people who want to reach their own computers from somewhere else. You can help family with a Mac across town, pull a file from your desk machine, or run a fleet, all through one app you can point at a server you host.

    Key Features

    • Remote control of Mac, Windows and Linux computers from one client
    • File transfer between the local and remote machine during a session
    • Option to run your own relay and ID server for full control of traffic
    • Separate Mac builds for Intel machines and Apple silicon machines
    • Clipboard sharing and multi monitor support for smoother daily work

    How to Download

    1. Go to the project site and pick the download area for desktop systems.
    2. Download from the official site and choose the Mac build that matches your chip.
    3. Install the app, then grant Screen Recording and Accessibility access in System Settings so remote control works.

    System Requirements

    RustDesk for Mac is published in Intel and Apple silicon builds. Listings for the Mac edition state macOS 10.15 or later, and an internet connection is needed for remote sessions.

    FAQs

    Is RustDesk really open source?

    Yes. The client code is public on GitHub under an open source licence, and the free server software is open source as well, which suits privacy minded users.

    Do I have to host my own server?

    No. You can start with the public servers the project provides. Hosting your own is an option for people who want traffic to stay on their own network.

    Why does macOS ask for extra permissions?

    Remote viewing and control need Screen Recording, Accessibility and Input Monitoring access on the Mac being controlled. Without them you may see a black screen or no mouse control.
