    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 22, 2026

    RTM Audio TxB EQ 2.0.26 is two mastering equalizers in a single plugin. One face is a valve program EQ, a measured model of a classic tube and transformer design, voiced for broad, smooth moves that flatter a whole mix. The other face is a Baxandall EQ, the gentle shelving style long loved for mastering, which lifts lows and highs in wide, natural curves. One button swaps between the two characters. Version 2 adds Push Pull, which lets any band move with the music instead of sitting fixed, adding life to static balances. Updated Aug 22, 2026.

    Key Features

    • Two EQ characters in one plugin, valve and Baxandall
    • Measured modeling of a classic tube equalizer
    • Push Pull dynamics let bands move with the music
    • Broad shelves for gentle lifts in lows and highs
    • One button swap between faces for fast comparison
    • Calm interface designed for mastering decisions

    How to Download

    1. Check that your DAW supports AU, VST3 or AAX plugins.
    2. Use this link to get the installer: Download from the official site and save the file.
    3. Run the installer, reopen your DAW and rescan plugins.

    System Requirements

    TxB EQ runs on Macs with Apple silicon or Intel processors under a recent version of macOS, as AU, VST3 or AAX inside a suitable DAW, in mono or stereo. Download and activation need an internet connection.

    FAQs

    What is the difference between the two faces?

    The valve face gives broad moves with tube color. The Baxandall face gives gentle shelving for final tonal balance.

    What does Push Pull do?

    It makes a band dynamic, so its boost or cut follows the music rather than staying fixed.

    Is it only for mastering?

    It was designed for mastering, but its broad moves also work well on buses and tracks in a mix.

    Litur helps designers and developers collect colors on a Mac and keep them organized in one personal library. You can pick any color on your screen, save colors from images, see matching combinations and copy the code in the format your project needs. A small docked window keeps your library close while you work in other apps, and your saved colors sync across your Apple devices. Updated Aug 22, 2026.

    Key Features

    • Pick colors from anywhere on your screen and save them to your library
    • See each color as hex, RGB, CMYK, HSB and code formats for Swift projects
    • View matching combinations such as complementary, analogous and triadic sets
    • Check color contrast against accessibility guidelines before you ship a design
    • Build named palettes and sync everything across Mac, iPhone and iPad

    How to Download

    1. Use this link to get the installer: Download from the official site and save the file to your Mac.

    3. Open the app, grant screen access when asked, then pick your first color.

    System Requirements

    Litur runs on recent versions of macOS and is a small, light app. Screen recording permission is needed for picking colors from other apps, and the pixels are processed on your own Mac.

    FAQs

    Does Litur send my screen data anywhere?

    No. Color picking happens locally on your device. The app reads pixels only to work out the color values you ask for.

    Can I use Litur with design and coding tools?

    Yes. It gives you copy ready codes in formats used by designers and by Swift developers, so pasting into projects is quick.

    Updated Aug 22, 2026
    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 22, 2026

    Muffle is a small focus app for Mac with a simple idea: everything except your active window gently blurs and dims, so the window you are working in is the only thing asking for your attention. Chat windows, mail and other clutter fade into the background while you write, read, code or sit on a video call. You control how strong the effect feels. Updated Aug 22, 2026.

    Key Features

    • Blurs every window except the active one
    • Separate controls for blur strength and dim level
    • Keeps the focused window sharp and clear at all times
    • Helpful during calls for a calmer shared screen
    • Native Swift build with very low overhead
    • Simple controls that stay out of your way

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site and read about how Muffle works.
    2. Download the Mac app from the developer site.
    3. Install it and grant the permissions macOS asks for.
    4. Set your blur and dim levels and get back to work.

    System Requirements

    Muffle runs on Macs with a recent macOS release. Because it works with your windows on screen, macOS will ask for accessibility permission during setup, which the app needs to know which window is active.

    FAQs

    Does Muffle close or hide my other apps?

    No. Your apps stay open and untouched. They are only blurred and dimmed visually until you switch back to them.

    Can I adjust how strong the blur is?

    Yes. Blur and dim each have their own control, so you can keep the effect subtle or make it very strong.
