    macOS opens basic ZIP files on its own, but it stops there. A RAR archive, a 7ZIP file or a password protected bundle defeats the built in tools. iZip fills that gap. It opens and creates the common archive formats, lets you peek inside without extracting everything, and can protect new archives with strong encryption. The current build is a modern 64 bit app that runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel.

    Key Features

    • Open and create ZIP, ZIPX, RAR, TAR and 7ZIP archives from one simple window
    • Archive wizard with full unicode support for file names in any language
    • Optional AES 256 encryption when you create archives that hold private files
    • Preview archive contents before you decide what to extract and where
    • Small, fast native Mac app that supports both Apple Silicon and Intel processors

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get iZip for Mac, or Download from the official site instead.
    2. Open the downloaded file and drag iZip into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch iZip, then open any archive from Finder or create a new one with the wizard.

    System Requirements

    The current version requires macOS Monterey 12.4 or newer and about 10 MB of free space. It is a 64 bit app with native Apple Silicon support, and it also runs on Intel Macs.

    FAQs

    Can iZip open RAR files on a Mac?

    Yes. iZip opens RAR archives, including newer formats, with ZIP, TAR and 7ZIP files.

    Can I protect an archive with a password?

    Yes. When you create an archive you can turn on AES 256 encryption, so only someone with the password can open it.

    Is the old iZip Classic still supported?

    No. The vendor lists Classic as legacy software that is no longer maintained, and recommends the current version instead.

    Economix is a modest personal finance app written by Yannick Callaud to manage his own bank accounts, and it shows in the best way. There are no feeds to connect and no cloud account. You enter each movement yourself, tag it with a type and a category, and the app keeps your balance straight and shows simple graphs of where the money went.

    Key Features

    • Track one or more bank accounts with manual entries that stay fully under your control
    • Recurring movements for monthly or yearly payments, so regular bills enter on their own
    • Categories for each movement, with a running balance calculated as you type
    • Statistics view with graphs that show income and spending across a chosen period
    • Export your data as plain text or CSV files that any spreadsheet can open

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Economix package for your Mac.
    2. Open the package and move the app to your Applications folder.
    3. Launch it, create your first account and add your opening balance to begin.

    System Requirements

    Runs on a Mac with a recent version of macOS and needs very little disk space. Your data files are plain text, stored locally, and readable with TextEdit.

    FAQs

    Does Economix connect to my bank?

    No. Every movement is entered by hand, apart from recurring payments you set up once. Nothing is shared online, which many users count as a plus.

    Is Economix really free?

    Yes. The author distributes it for free and encourages free sharing, as long as the app and its notes stay together and unchanged.

    Can I move my data to a spreadsheet?

    Yes. Export as text or CSV and open the file in Numbers, Excel or any other spreadsheet app for deeper reports.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 12, 2026

    NetMute answers a question macOS never asks on your behalf: what are your apps sending, and where? It is a per app firewall that lives in your menu bar. Every app that uses the network appears in a list with its own switch. Flip one off and that app goes offline while everything else keeps working. Its App X Ray view lists the domains each app contacted and flags known trackers.

    Key Features

    • Per app switches that cut one app off from the internet in one click
    • App X Ray lists every contacted domain and marks known trackers
    • Tracker Shield blocks hundreds of known tracking domains across the system
    • Data limits per app, with extra protection while you use a phone hotspot
    • Profiles that switch by network, plus traffic history and weekly reports

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page, or Download from the official site to reach the Mac App Store listing.
    2. Install NetMute and allow the network filter when macOS asks you to approve it.
    3. Open the Apps list, watch what your software contacts, then mute what should stay quiet.

    System Requirements

    NetMute needs macOS 26 Tahoe or later. It uses the Apple Network Extension framework and studies traffic locally on your Mac, with no account needed.

    FAQs

    How is this different from the macOS firewall?

    The built in firewall only controls incoming connections. NetMute controls outgoing ones, which is where tracking and telemetry actually happen.

    Does NetMute read the content of my traffic?

    No. It sees where a connection goes and how much data moved. Contents stay encrypted and unreadable by design.

    Is NetMute a subscription app?

    No. The free version covers the core firewall. Pro is a single one time purchase that unlocks every feature and future updates.

    If your day is split between a work mailbox, a Gmail account and a calendar elsewhere, a browser with six tabs is a poor headquarters. Zimbra Desktop pulls mail, contacts, calendar and tasks into one app on your Mac. It was built around the Zimbra platform, but it also connects to Gmail, Yahoo Mail and standard IMAP or POP accounts. Messages sync down, so you can read and draft offline and send on reconnect.

    Key Features

    • One inbox view for Zimbra, Gmail, Yahoo and IMAP or POP mail accounts
    • Mail, calendar, contacts and tasks together in a single desktop window
    • Offline access to synced messages, with drafts and changes sent on reconnect
    • Powerful search, tags and filters to keep large mailboxes organised
    • Familiar web style interface that mirrors the Zimbra web client closely

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Zimbra Desktop installer for Mac.
    2. Open the downloaded package and follow the setup steps to install the app.
    3. Launch Zimbra Desktop and add your first account with its server and sign in details.

    System Requirements

    Zimbra Desktop runs on macOS on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs and needs an internet connection for setup and syncing. Your mail provider must allow desktop access.

    FAQs

    Can I use Zimbra Desktop without a Zimbra server?

    Yes. It also works with Gmail, Yahoo Mail and other accounts that offer IMAP or POP access.

    Does it work offline?

    Yes. Synced mail is stored locally, so you can read and draft without a connection and sync changes later.

    Is Zimbra Desktop free to use?

    The desktop client itself has long been offered as a free download, though your organisation may run a paid Zimbra server edition behind it.

    CleanMyMac is MacPaw's single app for everyday Mac care. It clears caches, logs and other system junk, scans for malware, keeps your apps updated and shows what is eating your storage, all from one calm window. Version 5 is the current line that replaced the older CleanMyMac X, and it adds tools such as Email Cleanup and Cloud Cleanup.

    Key Features

    • Smart Care scans cleanup, protection and speed checks in one pass and reports what it found
    • Malware scan and background monitor that flag threats and offer removal on the spot
    • Uninstaller and updater that remove apps fully and keep the rest current
    • Space Lens builds a visual map of your drive so large folders are easy to find
    • Email Cleanup and Cloud Cleanup tidy Gmail, iCloud Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive storage

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the installer, or Download from the official site instead.
    2. Open the disk image and move CleanMyMac to your Applications folder.
    3. Launch the app, run a first scan and review each item before you confirm any cleanup.

    System Requirements

    Needs macOS 11 or later and a few hundred MB of free space. It runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs and is notarized by Apple.

    FAQs

    Is this the same app as CleanMyMac X?

    It is the successor. MacPaw rebuilt the app at version 5 and dropped the X from the name, so this page covers the current CleanMyMac line.

    Will it delete files without asking me?

    No. Scans only report what they find. You review the list and nothing is removed until you confirm it yourself.

    Can I try it before I pay?

    Yes. MacPaw offers a free trial from its own site, so you can scan your Mac before you decide.

    TeamSpeak Client is what many gaming groups use when they want their own server instead of a public social platform. You join a server, pick a channel and talk. The TeamSpeak 6 line adds a cleaner window and screen sharing, while the clear voice and low delay that made the name stay at the centre.

    Key Features

    • Connect to private or public servers and save favourites as bookmarks
    • Talk in channels with clear voice and push to talk control
    • Share your screen and watch shared screens inside the client
    • Send text messages and files while you stay in voice
    • Manage channels and permissions on servers you help run

    How to Download

    1. Use the button on this page to start the download and save the installer.
    2. You can also Download from the official site and choose the macOS build for your Mac.
    3. Open the file, move the app to Applications, launch it and connect to a server.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac running a current version of macOS, a headset or microphone for voice and a steady internet connection. The vendor offers TeamSpeak 6 builds for both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and a little free space is enough for the app itself.

    FAQs

    Is TeamSpeak Client free to use?

    Yes, the client itself is free. Costs only appear if you choose a paid hosted server instead of joining an existing one.

    Can I still use the older stable client?

    Yes. The download page also lists TeamSpeak 3 version 3.6.2 for macOS, which many long running communities still prefer today.

    Is TeamSpeak 6 finished software?

    Not yet. It is still in beta, so small bugs and changes between updates are normal. Keep the app updated as new builds arrive.

    Generative image tools are powerful, but bouncing between a browser tab, a downloads folder and After Effects breaks the rhythm of a project. SDFlow, distributed through aescripts, brings that diffusion based workflow closer to the timeline. From inside After Effects you can explore generated variations of frames and layers, then keep the results that fit your grade and deadline. It suits motion designers who want to test looks quickly.

    Key Features

    • Diffusion style generation workflow that lives inside After Effects on Mac
    • Explore visual variations of a frame or layer without exporting to another app
    • Prompt driven exploration makes it fast to test moods, textures and treatments
    • Results stay in your project, ready to mask, grade and composite like normal footage
    • Fits motion design, style frames and concept passes for client work

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the SDFlow package for Mac.
    2. Install it following the included instructions, then restart After Effects.
    3. Open SDFlow from the After Effects interface and run a small test on a short composition first.

    System Requirements

    SDFlow requires a Mac with a recent version of Adobe After Effects. Generation is demanding, so Apple Silicon, ample memory and fast storage give the smoothest experience.

    FAQs

    Is SDFlow a standalone app?

    No. It works as part of After Effects, so you need After Effects installed on your Mac to use it.

    What is it best used for?

    Style exploration is the sweet spot: trying looks, textures and treatments early, before you commit time to a finished design.

    Can I composite the results normally?

    Yes. Anything SDFlow produces for your composition can be treated like regular layers, with masks, effects and blending modes.

    ON1 Effects is the finishing room of the ON1 family. Instead of building a look from raw sliders, you start from filters and presets, stack them in layers, and mask each one to exactly the part of the photo it suits. The 2026 line adds smarter masks and four fresh filters, and the app works on its own or inside the editors you already use.

    Key Features

    • More than thirty filters you can stack, blend and reorder, from vintage looks to dynamic contrast
    • Hundreds of presets that give a strong starting point you can then tune to taste
    • Subject and background masks made with one click, with cleaner edges around hair and foliage
    • New Depth Lighting, Split Field, Double Exposure and Motion filters for creative finishes
    • Edits stay fully editable later, even when you return from Lightroom Classic or Photoshop

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac installer, or Download from the official site instead.
    2. Open the installer and follow the steps, then launch Effects from Applications.
    3. Open a photo, pick a preset as a base and adjust the filter stack to your taste.

    System Requirements

    Needs a Mac running a current version of macOS with enough memory and free space for large photo files.

    FAQs

    Can I use Effects without Photo RAW?

    Yes. It runs as a standalone app and as a plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Affinity Photo, Apple Photos and Corel PaintShop Pro.

    Will my edits change the original photo?

    No. You can reopen a photo later and change or remove any filter in the stack.

    Is Effects included in Photo RAW?

    Yes. All Effects tools are built into Photo RAW and Photo RAW MAX, so owners of those apps do not need this separate copy.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 12, 2026

    Multi List Timer solves a simple annoyance. One countdown is rarely enough. A study session has reading, notes and review stages. Dinner has prep, cooking and resting time. This app lets you build a list of named timers that run one after another, so you follow the whole routine without resetting a clock again and again.

    Key Features

    • Create timer lists for study, work, cooking and training routines
    • Chain timers so the next stage starts when one ends
    • Name every step so alerts tell you what just finished
    • Save lists you use often and run them again anytime
    • Get sound and on screen alerts at the end of stages

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page and save the app file on your Mac.
    2. Open the downloaded file and move the app to your Applications folder.
    3. Launch the app, allow notifications when asked, and build your first timer list.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac running a current version of macOS with notifications allowed so stage alerts can reach you. The app is light, needs little storage, and sits comfortably alongside the study, cooking or training apps you already use during the day.

    FAQs

    Can timers run one after another?

    Yes. That is the main idea. Build a list in order and each timer starts as the one before it finishes.

    Does it suit Pomodoro style study?

    Yes. Set work and break stages as a repeating routine, name each stage, and save the list for your next session.

    Can I reuse a list on another day?

    Yes. Saved lists stay ready to run again, which makes regular routines quick to start without setting times from scratch.

    Activity Monitor tells you what is running, but not when it started, what launched it, or which files it touched. The command line utilities from Objective See were made for those questions. They watch process launches and exits, track file creation and changes, and log DNS requests and replies, all from Terminal. They are aimed at security research and malware analysis, yet they are equally handy when a Mac behaves oddly.

    Key Features

    • Process monitoring that records program launches and exits with detailed context
    • File monitoring that logs creation, modification and deletion events as they happen
    • DNS monitoring that shows which processes are making network name requests
    • Built on modern Apple frameworks such as Endpoint Security for reliable event capture
    • Free tools from Objective See, a well known source of Mac security software

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page, or Download from the official site to get the utilities.
    2. Unpack the download and read the usage notes for the specific tool you want.
    3. Run the tool from Terminal, noting that some monitors must be run with administrator rights.

    System Requirements

    These utilities support macOS 10.15 and newer. Some tools need to run as root in Terminal, and macOS may ask you to grant permissions before monitoring begins.

    FAQs

    Are these tools apps with a window?

    Mostly no. They are command line utilities run from Terminal, even when they are packaged inside an app bundle to satisfy Apple signing rules.

    Who are these utilities for?

    Security researchers, IT staff and curious advanced users who want a detailed record of process, file and DNS activity on a Mac.

    Do the utilities cost anything?

    No. Objective See provides its tools free of charge, supported by its community and patrons.
