    BatFi, from micropixels, is a battery charge limiter for Apple silicon Macs. macOS has its own optimised charging, but it decides for you. BatFi lets you set a specific limit, such as 80 percent, and hold it for as long as your Mac stays plugged in, which can help slow battery wear on a desk-bound MacBook. The current BatFi 4 line also works alongside the charge limits built into newer macOS versions.

    Key Features

    • Set and hold a custom charge limit, for example 80 percent
    • Charge to 100 percent with one click when you need a full battery
    • Change the limit automatically by time and place
    • Menu bar app showing charge level, cycles, temperature and health
    • One-time licence covering every Mac you own, not a subscription

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac has Apple silicon and runs a supported macOS version; BatFi does not work on Intel Macs.
    2. Download from the official site and run the installer or open the download in the Mac App Store.
    3. Install BatFi, turn off the macOS charge limit and Optimised Battery Charging as the app instructs, then set your limit.

    System Requirements

    The developer lists macOS Sonoma 14.8 or later and an Apple silicon Mac for the current BatFi release. Intel Macs are not supported, because BatFi controls charging hardware specific to Apple silicon models.

    FAQs

    Is BatFi free?

    No. It is sold for a one-time payment, and one licence covers every Mac you own. Check the official site for the current price and trial terms.

    Why limit charging to 80 percent?

    Lithium batteries wear faster when they sit at a full charge for long periods. Holding a lower limit while plugged in at a desk can help the battery keep its capacity for longer.

    BatchSave is a small Mac utility built around one repetitive job: saving files in batches instead of one at a time. When you work with many open documents or a folder of files that all need the same save step applied, a batch tool removes the tedious clicking and keeps the process consistent from the first file to the last.

    Key Features

    • Applies a save operation to many files in one batch run
    • Reduces repetitive manual saving on multi-document projects
    • Consistent handling across the whole selection of files
    • Lightweight, single-purpose design that stays out of the way
    • Fits publishing, design and office workflows with many open files

    How to Download

    1. Back up the project or folder you plan to process before running any batch operation.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to reach the developer's website, and get the app from the developer or the Mac App Store.
    3. Open BatchSave, choose the files or documents to process, and run the batch save.

    System Requirements

    BatchSave is a lightweight Mac utility for a recent version of macOS, on Apple silicon or Intel hardware. As this is a small, infrequently updated app, confirm the exact supported system on the developer's website before installing.

    FAQs

    Why use a batch save tool at all?

    On projects with dozens of open files, saving everything one by one is slow and easy to get wrong. A batch step applies the same action to all of them in one go.

    Is BatchSave free?

    Pricing and availability are set by the developer and can change. This page never offers paid software for free, so check the developer's website for the current terms.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Bartender is the best-known menu bar manager for macOS, originally created by Surtees Studios and now stewarded by Applause Group. It gives you total control over your menu bar items: which ones show, which ones hide, and when they appear. The current line is Bartender 7, with version 7.1.0 adding macOS Tahoe support and easier migration of your existing setup.

    Key Features

    • Hide, rearrange and organise menu bar items, with a secondary Bartender Bar for hidden items
    • Reveal hidden items on hover, click, scroll or a custom hotkey
    • Triggers that show items automatically when conditions change, such as joining public Wi-Fi or unplugging power
    • Keyboard-driven Command Bar in Bartender 7 for finding and activating menu bar items
    • Handling for notched MacBook displays, plus search and configuration backups

    How to Download

    1. Check which macOS you run: Bartender 7 is built for the latest macOS, and the purchase includes Bartender 6 for macOS Tahoe.
    2. Download from the official site, where a four-week free trial is available with no card required.
    3. Move Bartender to your Applications folder, grant the permissions it requests, and arrange your menu bar the way you want it.

    System Requirements

    Bartender 7 requires the latest version of macOS, while Bartender 6 covers macOS Tahoe, Sequoia and Sonoma. Both run natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Check the official site to pick the right build for your system.

    FAQs

    Is Bartender free?

    No, but there is a four-week free trial. After that you can buy a one-time Bartender 7 licence, a yearly Pro subscription with future upgrades, or a lifetime Mega Supporter licence.

    I have an older Mac. Which version do I need?

    New purchases include Bartender 7 and can also activate the latest Bartender 6, and earlier downloads are available from the developer's support page for older macOS versions.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Barsoom is a menu bar organiser for the Mac from Seense, the small studio behind apps such as The Clock. Macs collect menu bar icons quickly, and on a smaller laptop screen they can crowd out the menus of the app you are using. Barsoom tidies the bar: the icons you need stay visible, and the rest sit in a second bar that appears when you want it.

    Key Features

    • Rearrange and organise the icons in your macOS menu bar
    • Keep less-used items in a second bar, shown on demand
    • Helps stop menu bar items being hidden behind long app menus on small screens
    • Lightweight utility that lives quietly alongside your other menu bar apps
    • From Seense, an established Mac developer with a range of menu bar tools

    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 Seense's website to check the current edition they offer.
    3. Install Barsoom, then drag your menu bar items into the arrangement you want and choose which ones live in the second bar.

    System Requirements

    Barsoom runs on Macs with a recent version of macOS, on Apple silicon or Intel hardware. It is a small utility with modest needs, designed to run all day in the background without noticeable load.

    FAQs

    How is Barsoom different from hiding icons completely?

    Your icons stay reachable. Instead of removing them, Barsoom parks the ones you use less often in a second bar, so they are still one click away when you need them.

    Is Barsoom free?

    Barsoom is a commercial utility from Seense. Check the developer's website for current pricing and any trial they offer, as this post does not provide a modified or unlocked copy.

    Mac Utilities
    Updated Nov 6, 2026
    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Barner is a batch barcode scanner for the Mac. Rather than pointing a camera at codes or opening images one by one, you feed it batches of barcode images and it reads them in bulk. That makes it a tool for professionals who need to scan or verify tens or hundreds of QR codes and barcodes, for example checking a folder of generated codes before they go to print or out to customers.

    Key Features

    • Batch scanning of many barcode images in a single run
    • Reads QR codes and common barcode formats embedded in image files
    • Built for verifying large sets of codes quickly and consistently
    • Saves the time and errors of checking codes manually, one at a time
    • Simple, focused workflow centred on folders of images rather than live camera input

    How to Download

    1. Make sure your Mac runs a recent version of macOS before installing.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page, or visit the developer's website to check the current edition they offer.
    3. Install Barner, point it at a folder of barcode images, and run a first test batch on copies of your files.

    System Requirements

    Barner runs on Macs with a recent version of macOS, on Apple silicon or Intel hardware. Batch sizes are limited more by your image files than by the app, so a modest Mac handles everyday verification work fine.

    FAQs

    Who is Barner for?

    Anyone who produces or receives barcodes in volume: print shops, inventory teams and developers generating QR codes who need to confirm every code in a batch actually reads correctly.

    Does this post include a modified version?

    No. This page only describes the app. For a legitimate copy, use the developer's own distribution channel and any trial or edition they currently offer.

    BarLinks is a bookmark manager for the Mac from Zuri Apps Limited, listed on the Mac App Store as BarLinks: Menu Bar Bookmarks. Instead of keeping your favourite sites buried inside one browser's bookmarks menu, it puts them in your Mac's menu bar, where they are one click away from any app. It is aimed at people who jump between the same set of websites all day and want a faster, tidier way to reach them.

    Key Features

    • Access your bookmarks directly from the macOS menu bar
    • Quick search to find a bookmark instead of scrolling long lists
    • Customisable keyboard shortcuts for opening the menu and favourite links
    • Works alongside your browser rather than replacing its own bookmark system
    • Simple organisation for keeping frequently used sites together

    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 look for BarLinks on the Mac App Store, where Zuri Apps distributes it.
    3. Install the app, add or import the sites you use most, and set a shortcut so your bookmarks are always a keystroke away.

    System Requirements

    BarLinks is a lightweight menu bar utility for Macs running a recent version of macOS, on Apple silicon or Intel. It needs little storage and is designed to sit quietly in the menu bar until you need it.

    FAQs

    Does BarLinks replace my browser bookmarks?

    No. It gives you a menu bar layer for the sites you open most often, while your browser keeps its own bookmarks as before. Think of it as a shortcut shelf, not a replacement library.

    Is BarLinks a free app?

    It is a paid app on the Mac App Store. Check the store listing for the current price in your region, since App Store prices vary by country.

    Barbee is a small menu bar manager for the Mac, sold through the Mac App Store as a free download with optional paid unlocks. When your menu bar fills up with status icons, Barbee lets you hide the ones you do not need right now and bring them back with a single click. Version 5.0 arrived in September 2026, refactored for better compatibility with the latest macOS.

    Key Features

    • Hide and show menu bar items with one click on the Barbee control
    • Auto-hide and auto-show options, plus custom keyboard shortcuts
    • Separate shown, hidden and always-hidden sections for your icons

    2. Use the green Download button on this page, or search for Barbee on the Mac App Store, which is where the developer distributes it.
    3. Install the app, grant the permissions it asks for, then arrange which icons stay visible and which ones hide.

    System Requirements

    Barbee 5.0 requires macOS 11 or later and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is a lightweight menu bar utility, so it needs very little storage or memory.

    FAQs

    Is Barbee free?

    The download itself is free, and there is a short VIP trial. After that, extra features such as the notch layout and tighter spacing need a one-time lifetime purchase or a yearly subscription, bought inside the app.

    Does hiding an icon quit the app behind it?

    No. The app keeps running and you still get its notifications; only its menu bar icon is tucked out of sight until you reveal it again.

    Balrum is an old-school, turn-based, open-world RPG from Balcony Team, a small Hungarian studio, released in 2016 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. You explore a large living fantasy world with an epic main quest and dozens of side quests, fighting tactical turn-based battles on a grid. Around that classic RPG core it layers systems most RPGs leave out: deep crafting of your own custom items, farming your own crops, building your own home, and survival mechanics such as hunger and the need to prepare before venturing into dangerous areas. A faithful animal companion travels with you.

    Key Features

    • Turn-based tactical combat in a huge open fantasy world
    • Epic main quest plus dozens of side quests and hidden places to explore
    • Deep crafting system for creating your own custom equipment
    • Farming, home building and survival mechanics woven into the RPG

    System Requirements

    Balrum's Steam page lists modest Mac requirements — OS X 10.7 or later with basic integrated or discrete graphics — so it runs comfortably on most Macs, including older machines. Note that it is an older 2016 title, so check the store page for current macOS compatibility notes before buying.

    FAQs

    Is Balrum a single-player game?

    Yes. It is a single-player, story-driven RPG focused on exploration, tactical combat and building a life in its world at your own pace.

    Where can I buy Balrum for Mac?

    balenaEtcher is a free, open-source tool from Balena for writing operating system images to SD cards and USB drives. Anyone who has installed Raspberry Pi OS, a Linux distribution or a macOS installer knows the old routine of command-line tools and failed writes; Etcher replaces it with three steps — select the image, select the drive, flash — and then validates the result so a corrupt write is caught immediately. It is published under the Apache-2.0 licence and is a standard tool in the maker and IT toolkit.

    Key Features

    • Flash ISO, IMG and ZIP image files to SD cards and USB drives
    • Validated flashing: the written data is checked after burning
    • Hard-drive friendly design that makes it hard to select your system drive by mistake
    • Clean three-step interface that works the same on Mac, Windows and Linux
    • Free and open source, with separate builds for Apple silicon and Intel Macs

    How to Download

    1. Use the green Download button on this page to check the current version and details.
    2. Get the app from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Download the build for your Mac (Apple silicon or Intel), open the disk image, and drag Etcher into Applications.

    System Requirements

    Recent balenaEtcher releases support macOS 10.13 and later, with separate native builds for Apple silicon and Intel Macs — download the package that matches your machine's chip. It also runs on Windows 10 and later and on major Linux distributions.

    FAQs

    Is balenaEtcher free?

    Yes. The standard desktop app is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. A separate Pro hardware product exists for flashing many drives at once, but the Mac app itself costs nothing.

    Why does macOS warn me when I open it?

    Flashing tools need elevated permission to write to removable drives, and macOS may ask you to confirm. Downloading from the official Balena site or its GitHub releases ensures you have the genuine, signed build.
