Updated Aug 20, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Flyingbee PDF to Word is a focused converter for Mac users who receive PDF files but need to edit the words inside them. Drop in a PDF and the app builds a Word document you can open, correct and share, instead of typing the whole file again by hand.

Key Features

FAQs

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

Simple documents usually convert very closely. Complex pages with many columns or artwork may need small layout fixes after conversion.

Can it convert scanned pages?

Scanned pages are images, so results depend on whether the text can be read as text. Clean, sharp scans give the best outcome.

Jettison 1.9.7 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 20, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Jettison is a small menu bar utility from St. Clair Software that takes care of external disks at the moments people usually forget them. Before your Mac sleeps, it ejects connected external drives safely, and when the Mac wakes it remounts any drives still plugged in. That habit protects Time Machine backups and file server volumes from damage, and saves you from ejection warnings when you close the lid. Updated Aug 20, 2026.

Key Features

• Ejects external disks automatically before your Mac sleeps
• Remounts those disks on wake if still connected
• Eject all drives at once or one at a time

4. Open settings once and choose your eject and remount options.

System Requirements

FAQs

Why eject a disk before sleep?

If a Mac sleeps mid write, files and backups can be left in a bad state, so ejecting first removes that risk.

Will Jettison remount my drives on wake?

Yes, drives it ejected are remounted on wake as long as they stay connected.

What if an app keeps a disk busy?

Jettison shows which app is holding the disk open and can offer a quit button.

Yes. Piezo can capture both sides of many voice chat apps, which makes it handy for interviews and remote conversations.

Chromabba 1.3.6 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 20, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Chromabba is an After Effects plugin that adds chromatic aberration the way a real camera lens creates it, instead of simply sliding the red, green and blue channels apart. It simulates how light bends around edges, so highlights and fine detail pick up soft color fringing like footage shot through real glass. Controls let you keep the effect subtle for realism or push it further for stylized work. Updated Aug 20, 2026.

Key Features

• Realistic aberration based on how light bends at edges
• Natural color fringing instead of a flat channel shift
• Controls for amount, falloff and effect center
• Works on live action footage and motion graphics
• Fast preview while you adjust inside the composition
• Good for lens looks, glitch accents and film style finishes

How to Download

1. Open the aescripts store and search for Chromabba.
2. Read the product page for version and compatibility details.
3. Buy the plugin and download it with the aescripts manager app.
4. Install it in After Effects and apply it to a footage layer.

System Requirements

Chromabba runs inside Adobe After Effects on a Mac with a recent macOS and enough graphics power to preview effects comfortably. It needs no standalone application, since it works as a plugin in your existing installation.

FAQs

How is Chromabba different from shifting RGB channels?

Channel shifting gives a flat offset, while Chromabba models light bending at edges for softer, believable fringing.

Can I use it on real camera footage?

Yes, it suits footage as well as graphics, for matching a lens look or adding character.

Is Chromabba a standalone app?

No, it is a plugin that lives inside After Effects compositions.
