    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.

    ON1 Photo RAW MAX puts a photo studio in one app. You browse and organize your shoots, develop raw files, retouch with layers and masks, and finish with effects, without sending files between programs. The MAX edition can also run as a plugin inside other editors and carries extra tools such as Restore AI.

    Key Features

    • Complete raw editor with browsing, develop tools, layers and local adjustments in one place
    • AI tools for noise removal, sharpening, sky swaps, portraits and smart subject selection

    System Requirements

    FAQs

    What does MAX add over the standard edition?

    Mainly plugin use in other editors, Restore AI and an extra installation. The core editor and AI tools are shared with the standard edition.

    Do I need a subscription to use it?

    No. ON1 sells it as a one time purchase you own. An optional subscription adds cloud sync and included upgrades.

    Can it replace Lightroom for raw work?

    For many photographers, yes. It covers organizing, develop, layers and effects in one app, and MAX can join a Lightroom workflow as a plugin.

    Stellarium is a free planetarium that shows the sky as it really looks from your location. Set where you are, and the screen fills with stars, planets and the Moon in the right places. It is loved by beginners learning the constellations and by serious observers planning an evening with a telescope outside.

    Key Features

    • Watch a realistic sky in 3D for any place and time
    • Explore a large catalogue of stars and deep sky objects
    • Search planets, constellations and satellites and follow their paths
    • Learn constellation lines and artwork from many sky cultures
    • Control supported telescopes and plan observing sessions in advance

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page and save the Mac package file.
    2. You can also Download from the official site and pick the macOS build offered there.
    3. Open the package, move Stellarium to Applications, launch it and set your location.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac with graphics that support OpenGL and a current version of macOS. Extra star catalogues can be fetched from inside the app when you want more detail, so an internet connection helps at first, though the main sky works offline.

    FAQs

    Is Stellarium really free?

    Yes. The desktop version is free and open source. You can install it, use every main feature and share it with students freely.

    Can it show the sky from my town?

    Yes. Pick your location from the list or enter coordinates, and the view matches the sky above that place and time.

    Does it work without a telescope?

    Yes. Most people use it on its own to learn the sky. Telescope control is an extra for those who own one.

    A plain two colour gradient rarely looks expensive. Real light blooms, bleeds and softens at the edges, and that is the gap Cosmic aims to close. Sold through aescripts, Cosmic builds cinematic gradients directly on your shapes and text inside After Effects and Premiere Pro. Curated colour palettes plus glow and optical diffusion make ramps feel photographed rather than drawn, and GPU acceleration keeps previews responsive.

    Key Features

    • Cinematic gradients applied directly to shape and text elements in your timeline
    • Curated colour palettes that give you tasteful starting points in one click
    • Built in glow and optical diffusion for a soft, filmic falloff at the edges
    • GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon and NVIDIA hardware for responsive previews
    • Works in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, so a look can travel between apps

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page, or Download from the official site to get Cosmic.
    2. Install the plugin following the included instructions, then restart your host app.
    3. Apply Cosmic to a shape or text layer, choose a palette and shape the glow to taste.

    System Requirements

    Cosmic needs a Mac running a recent version of Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro. GPU acceleration is available on Apple Silicon Macs for smooth previews.

    FAQs

    Does Cosmic only work on text?

    No. It is designed for shapes and text elements alike, which covers titles, logos, lower thirds and graphic overlays.

    Can I build my own colour combinations?

    Yes. The curated palettes are starting points, and you can adjust the gradient to match your own brand or scene colours.

    Which apps does Cosmic run in?

    Cosmic runs inside Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro on Mac, using the GPU for faster rendering.

    ON1 Resize AI exists for one job: making photos bigger without the soft, smeared look that plain resizing gives. It descends from Genuine Fractals, the enlargement tool photographers trusted for years, and now pairs that base with AI models. The result is a print ready file from a tight crop, an old small image or a phone photo you want on the wall.

    Key Features

    • Enlarge photos up to ten times with detail, sharpness and clean edges kept intact
    • Two AI models, a highest quality model for hard cases and a standard model for speed
    • Face recovery that rebuilds small faces in group shots and old portraits
    • Print tools for tiling large murals, gallery wrap edges and exact print sizes
    • Batch mode for whole folders, plus plugin use in Photoshop and Lightroom Classic

    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 Resize AI from Applications.
    3. Open a photo, set your target size or scale and let the app build the enlarged file.

    System Requirements

    Needs a Mac running a current version of macOS. The highest quality model asks more of your graphics chip, so newer Macs finish big enlargements faster.

    FAQs

    How is this different from resizing in my editor?

    Resizing stretches the pixels you have. Resize AI studies the image and rebuilds detail as it grows, which matters at print sizes.

    Can it rescue a tight crop?

    Often, yes. Cropped and low resolution images are its home ground, though tiny or damaged files show limits.

    Is Resize AI included in Photo RAW?

    Yes. Resize AI is built into ON1 Photo RAW, and this standalone copy suits people who work mainly in other editors.

    VueScan Professional is the scanning app people install when the maker of their scanner has moved on. Hamrick Software has rebuilt drivers for thousands of older models, so a scanner that macOS no longer supports can often scan again within minutes. It also suits new scanners when you want more control than the bundled software gives.

    Key Features

    • Supports thousands of scanner models, including older unsupported hardware
    • Scan photos, documents, film and slides with guided settings
    • Restore faded colour and clean dust and scratches on film
    • Save scans as PDF, TIFF, JPEG or raw files for editing

    3. Open the installer, launch VueScan, connect your scanner and run a test scan.

    System Requirements

    VueScan runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs and supports a wide range of macOS versions. Check your exact scanner model on the vendor site before you start, and connect the scanner by USB or your local network as its maker intended.

    FAQs

    Will VueScan work with my old scanner?

    Very likely. The vendor lists thousands of supported models. Search your model on the site to confirm before you rely on it.

    What does Professional add?

    It adds the advanced side of the app, such as film scanning tools and deeper colour control, aimed at photo archives and serious work.

    Can I scan a stack of documents?

    Yes, if your scanner has a document feeder. VueScan can scan the stack and save it as one multipage PDF file.
