    LogMeIn Hamachi turns computers in different places into one private network that behaves like a local network. Install the small client on each Mac, join the same network, and the machines can reach each other for file sharing, remote access and games as if they sat side by side. There is no router setup and no extra hardware to buy.

    Key Features

    • Create mesh, gateway or hub and spoke networks and manage them from a web console
    • Connect up to five computers at no cost for personal and small group use
    • Encrypted connections keep traffic private while it travels across the public internet
    • Runs quietly in the background and reconnects on its own after sleep or a restart
    • Works on Mac, Windows and Linux so mixed groups can share one network

    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 package and follow the prompts, then approve the system extension if macOS asks.
    3. Sign in, create a network or join one with its name and password.

    System Requirements

    Needs a Mac running a recent version of macOS, an internet connection and a free account to create and manage networks.

    FAQs

    Is Hamachi a full VPN for web browsing?

    Not quite. It links your own devices and invited members into a private network. It does not route general web browsing through remote servers the way consumer VPN apps do.

    Can I play games with friends on Hamachi?

    Yes. Many players use it for games that support local network play. Everyone installs the client, joins the same network and connects with the address Hamachi shows.

    What if I need more than five computers?

    Paid plans raise the member limit and add management tools for larger teams.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 11, 2026

    JU 60 from Sonic Academy is a small chorus plugin with a famous ancestor. It recreates the chorus section of the classic Juno 60 synthesizer, the effect that gave synth pads and arpeggios their wide, shimmering movement. It is not a synth; it is that chorus stage on its own, ready for any channel in your DAW. The interface is simple, with mode buttons and two sliders for mix and output level. Mode I gives the warm classic chorus, Mode II runs deeper and wider, and both together produce the big swirling sound of eighties pop. It works on guitars, bass and vocals too.

    Key Features

    • Careful emulation of the Juno 60 chorus sound from eighties synth records
    • Three chorus modes: Mode I, Mode II, and both together for the widest effect
    • Simple Mix and Level sliders, with no menus to dig through
    • Adds width and movement to pads, leads and arpeggios
    • At home on guitars, bass and vocals that need a vintage glow

    How to Download

    1. Open Download from the official site to read about JU 60 and get the Mac installer.
    2. Run the installer and choose the plugin formats your DAW uses.
    3. Load JU 60 on a track, pick a mode, and set the mix to taste.

    System Requirements

    JU 60 is a 64 bit macOS plugin in AU, VST3 and AAX formats, so you need a compatible DAW.

    FAQs

    Is JU 60 a synthesizer?

    No. JU 60 is only the chorus effect from the Juno 60, as a plugin for any sound source.

    Can I try JU 60 before buying?

    Yes. Sonic Academy offers a 14 day free trial.

    What does the combined mode do?

    Running both modes together gives a deeper, rotating style chorus with more width, like the most dramatic setting on the original hardware.

    Cinemagraph Pro by Flixel does one lovely trick: the living photo. Most of the frame stays still like a photograph, while one area, perhaps steam over a coffee cup or water in a stream, keeps moving in a loop. The app brings the process into one place, from importing your clip to painting the mask and exporting a result for web pages, adverts and social posts.

    Key Features

    • Import video, trim the clip and choose your still frame in one focused workspace
    • Paint a mask over the still image to reveal motion only where you want it
    • Loop controls help the moving area repeat smoothly, with no visible jump
    • Colour tools and ready made presets give your work a consistent style
    • Export as MP4 video, or upload to your Flixel gallery for sharing and embedding

    How to Download

    1. Download Cinemagraph Pro using the button on this page and open the file you receive.
    2. Move the app to your Applications folder and launch it to open your first project.
    3. You can also Download from the official site to see the plans Flixel offers.

    System Requirements

    Flixel lists macOS 26.6 Tahoe or later on an Apple silicon Mac or an Intel Mac, with 8 GB of memory, 16 GB recommended for 4K work, and 10 GB disk space.

    FAQs

    What is a cinemagraph?

    It is a still image with one area of gentle motion looping inside it. The contrast between frozen and moving parts draws the eye.

    What footage works best?

    Steady tripod footage with one repeated movement works best, since the still and moving parts must line up cleanly.

    How do I share a finished piece?

    Export an MP4 for social media and adverts, or upload it to your Flixel gallery and embed it on a web page.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 11, 2026

    FontBase is a font manager built by designers who were tired of slow, dated font tools. On the Mac it gives you one clean window for your whole library: every font previews with your own sample text, and you activate only the fonts a project needs. Collections keep client fonts grouped, and watched folders pick up new files as they land on your drive. Google Fonts browsing is built in, so open licensed families are a search and a click away. Search stays fast with a large library, and a glyph view helps when you need a specific character.

    Key Features

    • Live previews of every font with your own text, size and colours
    • Activate and deactivate single fonts or whole collections with one click
    • Browse and install Google Fonts from inside the app
    • Collections and nested collections keep fonts organised per client or project
    • Fast search and a glyph viewer for finding the exact character you need

    How to Download

    1. Go to Download from the official site and download FontBase for Mac.
    2. Open the downloaded file and drag FontBase into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch FontBase, point it at your font folders, and build your first collection.

    System Requirements

    FontBase runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. The Mac build supports automatic updates, so you stay on the newest release after one install.

    FAQs

    Is FontBase free?

    Yes, there is a free version with the core font management tools. A paid upgrade adds extras such as auto activation inside Adobe apps.

    Does FontBase work with Google Fonts?

    Yes. You can browse the Google Fonts library inside FontBase and add families to your collection without manual downloads.

    Why activate and deactivate fonts at all?

    Keeping only needed fonts switched on keeps font menus short and design apps responsive.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 11, 2026

    LinearMouse is a small open source utility that fixes a quiet Mac annoyance: macOS treats your mouse and trackpad almost as one device. With LinearMouse each device gets its own settings. You can turn pointer acceleration off for precise work, scroll the mouse wheel one way while the trackpad stays natural, and give spare mouse buttons useful jobs, all from a clean settings window that stays out of your way.

    Key Features

    • Separate settings per device, so your mouse and trackpad can behave differently
    • Turn pointer acceleration off or tune it, and set your own pointer speed
    • Reverse scrolling for the mouse while the trackpad keeps its natural direction
    • Map mouse buttons to actions, shortcuts and other key presses
    • Different settings per app, applied automatically when you switch apps

    How to Download

    1. Download LinearMouse using the button on this page and open the file you receive.
    2. Move the app to your Applications folder, launch it, and grant the permissions macOS asks for.
    3. You can also Download from the official site to get it straight from the project.

    System Requirements

    LinearMouse runs on current macOS versions on Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It asks for Accessibility permission so it can adjust pointer and scrolling behaviour.

    FAQs

    Is LinearMouse really free?

    Yes. It is free and open source, released under the MIT license, and its code can be read on GitHub.

    Why does it ask for Accessibility permission?

    macOS only lets apps change pointer and scroll behaviour across the whole system with that permission. LinearMouse needs it to do its one job.

    Does it work with trackpads too?

    Yes. It covers mice and trackpads, and each connected device can carry its own scrolling, speed and button settings.

    Ultracopier takes over the job of copying and moving files and gives you far more control than the normal copy dialog. When a large move goes wrong halfway, you can pause it, fix the problem and carry on instead of starting again. It is open source software under the GPL3 license and suits people who shift big folders between drives and shares.

    Key Features

    • Pause and resume file transfers at any point without losing progress
    • Set a speed limit so big copies do not slow down your other work
    • Handle name collisions with overwrite, skip or rename choices
    • Resume after errors and see a clear log of what copied and what failed
    • Manage a copy list and review jobs before they run

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get Ultracopier for your Mac.
    2. Open the disk image and move the app into your Applications folder, then launch it.
    3. You can also Download from the official site to read about the free and Ultimate editions.

    System Requirements

    Ultracopier for Mac needs macOS 10.12 or later. The same project also runs on Windows and Linux, which helps if you move files between different systems at home or work.

    FAQs

    Is Ultracopier free?

    The normal edition is free and open source and covers daily error and collision handling. An Ultimate edition adds extras such as checksum tools.

    What happens when two files share a name?

    Ultracopier stops and asks what to do, or follows the rule you set in advance. You can overwrite, skip, rename or keep the newer file, so nothing is lost by accident.

    Can it resume a failed copy?

    Yes. When a file fails to copy, you can retry it later from the same job rather than copying the whole folder again.

    Blockbench is a free 3D model editor built for low poly work, and it has become the go to tool for Minecraft models in particular. You shape models from cuboids or mesh tools, paint textures without leaving the app, and animate the result with a proper keyframe editor. It is open source, friendly for beginners, and deep enough for working game artists.

    Key Features

    • Cuboid and mesh modelling tools made for low poly models
    • Built in texture painting with a 2D editor and painting in 3D view
    • Automatic UV mapping so new models are ready to paint at once
    • Keyframe animation editor with a graph editor for fine tuning motion
    • Plugin store inside the app for new tools and export formats

    3. Open the downloaded file, move Blockbench to Applications and start modelling.

    Blockbench runs on Mac as a desktop app and also offers a web version that needs no install. It is light by 3D standards, so a typical modern Mac handles everyday modelling comfortably.

    FAQs

    Is Blockbench really free?

    Yes. Blockbench is free for any type of project and its source code is public under the GPL licence, with no paid edition hiding tools away.

    Is Blockbench only for Minecraft?

    No. Minecraft formats are a big part of its story, but its generic formats and exporters serve general low poly game art as well.

    Can I add features that are missing?

    Often, yes. The built in plugin store adds tools, generators and format support, and you can even write your own plugin if you code.
