Your day, one click away, with nothing in the way.

    Key Features

    • Compact month view that lives in the menu bar
    • Agenda lists events from the Mac Calendar app below the month
    • Create and delete events and complete reminders with due dates
    • Join buttons appear for video meetings when the time comes
    • Optional clock replacement with custom formats and ISO week numbers

    3. Unzip the download, move Itsycal to Applications, and click its menu bar icon to begin.

    System Requirements

    The latest build, version 0.28.0, is made for macOS 27 or later. If your Mac runs an older system, the maker also offers a 0.15.15 build for macOS 11 or later, with the same core calendar and agenda features.

    Chatterino is an open source chat client for Twitch that gives viewers and moderators far more room than the Twitch website chat. Instead of one narrow column, you lay channels out in splits, so several busy chats run side by side in one window. Emotes render from Twitch and the popular third party emote services, so chat looks the way regulars expect. Moderators get quick actions for timeouts, bans and message cleanup, and highlights can flag your username or any keyword with a colour change or a sound. The app stays light on memory even with many channels open.

    Key Features

    • Split view lets you follow many Twitch channels at once in one window
    • Emote support for Twitch plus BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ and 7TV emotes
    • Highlights flag mentions and chosen keywords with colours and optional sounds
    • Moderation tools for timeouts, bans and deleting messages without opening a browser
    • Customisable themes, fonts and layouts, plus a growing plugin system

    How to Download

    1. Go to Download from the official site and download the macOS build of Chatterino.
    2. Open the downloaded disk image and drag Chatterino into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch Chatterino, sign in with Twitch, and add the channels you watch as new splits.

    System Requirements

    Recent builds run on macOS 10.15 or later. You need an internet connection and a Twitch account to chat.

    FAQs

    Is Chatterino free?

    Yes. Chatterino is free and open source, and it is developed in the open on GitHub by its community.

    Is Chatterino an official Twitch app?

    No. It is a third party client that connects to Twitch chat and adds a richer layout and extra tools on top of it.

    Can moderators use Chatterino?

    Yes. Moderation is a strength, with timeout and ban actions, slow mode controls and a clear view of flagged messages.

    FireWally by Nektony is a free firewall and network monitor that goes far beyond the built in macOS firewall. It lives in the menu bar, shows every app that connects to the internet and how much data each one uses, and lets you cut off any connection with a single toggle. With no complex rules to learn, it is a friendly way to see what your Mac does in the background.

    Key Features

    • Live list of every app with network activity, updated as connections start and stop
    • One toggle per app to allow or block its internet access
    • Protection modes decide how new apps are treated when they first go online
    • Traffic history and usage statistics by the hour and by the day
    • Apple Intelligence explanations describe why an app connects, on supported Macs

    How to Download

    1. Download FireWally using the button on this page and open the file you receive.
    2. Move the app to your Applications folder, launch it, and allow its network extension in System Settings when macOS asks.
    3. You can also Download from the official site if you prefer to get it straight from Nektony.

    System Requirements

    FireWally needs macOS 13 or later. Its smart explanations need macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on and a Mac with an M1 chip or newer.

    FAQs

    Is FireWally free to use?

    Yes. It is free, with all monitoring and blocking tools included and no subscription needed.

    How is it different from the macOS firewall?

    The built in firewall mainly guards incoming connections. FireWally focuses on outgoing traffic, shows it app by app, and lets you block individual apps.

    What happens when I block an app?

    That app can no longer send or receive data online. It may stop syncing or updating until you allow it again from the list.

    If you only edit still photographs, CameraBag Photo gives you the CameraBag experience without paying for video tools you will never open. Made by Nevercenter, it stacks every adjustment as a tile you can reorder, toggle or fine tune, which makes experimenting feel safe and quick. Film looks, colour grades and clean corrections all sit a click away, and any combination you like can be saved as your own preset for the next shoot.

    Key Features

    • Stacked tile adjustments for exposure, colour, curves and detail
    • More than 250 built in filters covering film and modern looks
    • Masking tools including colour mask and spot mask for local edits
    • Shape overlay and image overlay tools for graphics and watermarks
    • Batch processing with export that handles whole folders at once

    2. You can also Download from the official site and pick CameraBag Photo.
    3. Install the app and start the free trial to test your photos.

    System Requirements

    CameraBag Photo needs macOS 13 or newer on a 64 bit Mac, with M1 and later chips supported, and a Windows 10 or newer version exists as well. It works with common photo formats including RAW files from many cameras. A licence bought from Nevercenter includes a year of free updates.

    FAQs

    How is Photo different from Pro?

    Photo covers still images only. Pro adds full video editing and video only features, so photographers can skip that cost safely.

    Can I save my own looks?

    Yes. Any stack of adjustments can be saved as a preset and applied to single photos or to a whole batch later.

    Is there a free trial?

    Yes. The download from Nevercenter includes a free seven day trial, and buying a licence simply removes the time limit.

    Krita is a free and open source digital painting program made by artists, for artists, for illustration, concept art, comics and texture work. The Mac build gives you a natural canvas, a deep brush system and a proper layer based workflow, with no subscription. Version 6.0.4 is the current build of the newer Qt6 based line, which the team still calls the more experimental branch. The team also publishes 5.3.4 and recommends it for production work, so you can pick stability or the newest base. Both share the same features, including animation tools and brushes that respond to pen pressure and tilt.

    Key Features

    • Huge brush engine collection for painting, sketching and inking, with stabilisers
    • Full layer system with masks, groups and a wide set of blending modes
    • Drawing assistants and wrap around mode for seamless patterns and textures
    • Frame by frame animation with onion skinning for hand drawn motion
    • Vector and text tools alongside raster painting layers

    How to Download

    1. Open Download from the official site and choose the macOS disk image for Krita 6.0.4.
    2. Open the disk image and drag Krita into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch Krita, create a new canvas, and pick a brush to start painting.

    System Requirements

    Krita needs macOS 10.15 or later. A pressure sensitive drawing tablet is strongly recommended for painting, though a mouse also works.

    FAQs

    Is Krita really free?

    Yes. Krita is free and open source under the GNU GPL. Paid store copies are optional and fund development.

    Should I use Krita 6.0.4 or 5.3.4?

    The Krita team recommends 5.3.4 for production work. Version 6.0.4 uses the newer Qt6 base and is classed as more experimental.

    Does Krita support drawing tablets on Mac?

    Yes. Krita reads pen pressure and tilt from common drawing tablets, so strokes feel natural and varied.

    Intiface Central from Nonpolynomial Labs is the desktop hub for the Buttplug library. It sits between your hardware and the apps that use it, finding your devices, keeping the connection steady, and passing control commands back and forth. Instead of every app needing its own drivers, developers build against this one hub, and you get a single place to start the server, watch what is connected, and adjust settings.

    Key Features

    • Connects to a wide range of haptics and sensor devices from many makers
    • Supports Bluetooth, USB and serial connections from one single place
    • Runs a local server that compatible apps and games connect to
    • Works with apps built for any Buttplug version from version 1 onward
    • New device support arrives through library updates, with no extra tools

    How to Download

    1. Download Intiface Central using the button on this page and open the file you receive.
    2. Move the app to your Applications folder and launch it, then start the server from its main window.
    3. You can also Download from the official site to get the Mac build straight from the project.

    System Requirements

    Intiface Central runs on current macOS versions. Your Mac needs Bluetooth or a free USB port for your hardware, and each device must be one the library supports.

    FAQs

    Is Intiface Central free?

    Yes. The app is open source and free to download and use on your Mac.

    Does it do anything on its own?

    It is a hub rather than a game or player. You also need a compatible app, which connects to Central and then controls your hardware.

    How do apps talk to my devices?

    Central runs a local server on your Mac. Apps connect to that server, and Central passes their commands to your hardware over Bluetooth, USB or serial.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 11, 2026

    Downloading a set of files from hosting sites by hand means babysitting tabs, waiting out timers and restarting anything that stalls. Mipony was built to take that chore away. This free download manager accepts links from a wide range of file hosting services, queues them, works through waiting periods on its own where the host allows it, and resumes transfers that drop. You paste in the links, start the queue, and get on with something else.

    Key Features

    • Queues downloads from many popular file hosting services
    • Handles host waiting times automatically where the service allows
    • Resume support so a dropped connection wastes less progress
    • A built in browser view for grabbing links from host pages
    • Simple interface that stays manageable with long download lists

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the installer.
    2. Open the downloaded file and follow the setup steps shown on screen.
    3. Launch Mipony, paste your links, and start the download queue.

    System Requirements

    Mipony is best known as a Windows program, and host support changes as hosting sites change their pages, so results vary by service. You need a steady connection and enough free disk space for your files. Always check that you have the right to download any file you queue.

    FAQs

    Is Mipony free?

    Yes. Mipony is freeware. The program has historically shown advertising inside the app, which is how the free version is supported.

    Which hosting sites does it support?

    It supports a wide range of popular hosts, but the list changes as services open, close or redesign their pages, so check your host in the app.

    Can it resume a broken download?

    Yes, where the hosting server allows resuming. If a host refuses resume requests, that file has to start again from the beginning.

    Sprayon is a tool for Adobe After Effects that makes clean digital layers look like they were hit with a spray can. Text, logos and shapes gain the speckled coverage, soft overspray and rough edges of real aerosol paint. It suits title sequences, music video graphics and streetwear promos that want a hand made urban feel. Instead of building the effect from stacked noise, blur and masks, you apply Sprayon to a layer and shape the result with its controls. The look can stay subtle, or go full graffiti with heavy grain and drips.

    Key Features

    • Turns text, logos and shape layers into convincing spray painted artwork
    • Grainy speckled fill that mimics uneven aerosol coverage
    • Soft overspray around edges for an authentic street art finish
    • Optional paint drips that run down from painted areas for extra grit
    • Animatable results, so artwork can spray on over time for reveals and titles

    How to Download

    1. Click the download button on this page to get Sprayon for your Mac.
    2. Run the installer or copy the plugin files into the After Effects plug ins folder as the included notes describe.
    3. Restart After Effects, apply Sprayon to a text or logo layer, and adjust the grain, edges and drips to taste.

    System Requirements

    Sprayon runs inside Adobe After Effects on macOS, so you need a supported copy of After Effects.

    FAQs

    Is Sprayon a standalone app?

    No. Sprayon works inside Adobe After Effects as an effect, and it applies to layers in your compositions.

    Can I use Sprayon on text?

    Yes. Text and logos are the most common use, turning plain titles into painted artwork quickly.

    Does Sprayon work on footage too?

    It can be applied to footage and solid layers as well, which is useful for painted transitions and textured overlays.

    Pulltube by MyMixApps is a Mac downloader for people who like to keep videos and music for offline use. Paste or drop a link and it fetches the video, the audio, a whole playlist or the subtitles, in the quality you pick. It feels like a proper Mac app rather than a web converter, with a tidy list view, a trim mode for saving just one section, and extensions that send links from your browser.

    Key Features

    • Downloads video and audio from YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok and over a thousand other sites
    • Trim mode saves only the part of a clip you actually want to keep
    • Built in converter saves files as MP4 video or as MP3 and M4A audio
    • Downloads playlists and subtitles along with the media you choose
    • Browser extensions for Safari, Chrome and Firefox send links straight to the app

    How to Download

    1. Download Pulltube using the button on this page and open the disk image you receive.
    2. Drag the app into your Applications folder and launch it to begin the trial.
    3. You can also Download from the official site to get it straight from MyMixApps.

    System Requirements

    Pulltube runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs with a recent version of macOS. The vendor lists the current minimum on its page, so check it before installing on an older system.

    FAQs

    Can I try Pulltube before buying?

    Yes. The vendor offers a free trial of seven days. One license then covers two Macs.

    Can it save audio only?

    Yes. The built in converter can save the sound from a video as an MP3 or M4A file instead of the full video.

    Which sites does it support?

    It works with over a thousand sites, including YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram and SoundCloud.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 11, 2026

    Every photo you take quietly carries a bundle of extra data. Camera model, lens, exposure, dates and often the exact place you stood are written into the file as metadata. Photos Exif Editor, made by Systweak, lets you read, correct and remove that data across thousands of images at once. Fixing wrong dates after a trip, adding copyright details, or stripping location data before sharing pictures online all become short jobs.

    Key Features

    • Reads and writes EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP metadata in bulk
    • Deletes metadata for single photos or for selected batches
    • Sets file dates from the capture time stored inside each photo
    • Presets save repeated metadata so routine jobs take fewer clicks
    • Automatic backup of original metadata before any change is written

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac version.
    2. You can also Download from the official site and find Photos Exif Editor listed.
    3. Install the app, add a folder of photos, and review the metadata shown.

    System Requirements

    Photos Exif Editor runs on macOS and also has a Windows edition. It supports common image formats including RAW files, on local or attached drives. Because edits are written into the files themselves, keeping the automatic backup option on is wise.

    FAQs

    Why remove metadata before sharing photos?

    Metadata can include GPS coordinates of your home or your children school. Removing it before posting online protects that privacy.

    Can it edit thousands of photos at once?

    Yes. Batch editing is the main purpose of the app, and presets let the same changes roll across a whole selection quickly.

    What if I make a mistake?

    The app creates a backup of the original metadata during the session, so you can restore the earlier values if an edit goes wrong.
