    ArchCommander is a Mac archive manager from MPL Software Studio, the small team also behind the MaxCommander file manager. Its idea is simple: treat an archive like a folder you can work inside, instead of a box you must fully unpack first. You can peek into ZIP, RAR, TAR and older formats such as ARJ and LHA/LZH, pull out only the files you need, or add and remove files from archives that support modification. It also plugs into Finder, so common archive jobs are a right-click away.

    Key Features

    • Browse and work inside archives without extracting the whole file
    • Extract selected files or everything, and create brand-new archives
    • Add or remove files in existing archives where the format allows it
    • Finder integration: unpack and create archives from the context menu
    • Quick Look plugin to preview archive contents in Finder with the space bar
    • Filename encoding selection for archives created on non-Unicode systems

    How to Download

    1. Use the green Download button on this page, or go directly to the developer's site.
    2. Download from the official site — MPL Software Studio's ArchCommander product page links to the current Mac release.
    3. Install the app, then open any archive from Finder to start browsing its contents.

    System Requirements

    ArchCommander is a native Mac app sold at a low one-time price, with a free version available. It runs on a recent version of macOS; check the developer's product page for the exact minimum macOS version of the current build before installing.

    FAQs

    Is ArchCommander free?

    There is a free version, and the full app is a low one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Buy it from the developer or the Mac App Store so you receive updates.

    Can it open RAR files?

    Yes. ArchCommander opens RAR along with ZIP, TAR, ARJ and LHA/LZH archives, and its encoding option helps when filenames inside older archives were created on non-Unicode systems.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Aragami is a third-person stealth game developed and published by Spanish studio Lince Works, first released in 2016. You play as Aragami, a vengeful undead spirit summoned by Yamiko, a girl imprisoned in the city fortress of Kyuryu. Your power is the shadow itself: you can teleport between shadows, create them where none exist, and strike unseen — or avoid every enemy entirely. The Mac version is sold through Steam alongside the Windows and Linux builds, with a striking cel-shaded art style inspired by Japanese ink painting.

    Key Features

    • Shadow-based stealth: teleport between shadows with the Shadow Leap ability
    • Unlockable Shadow Powers for offensive and defensive play styles
    • A story campaign about Aragami and Yamiko, playable solo
    • Online co-operative multiplayer for two players
    • Cel-shaded visuals and an original soundtrack with a feudal Japanese atmosphere

    How to Download

    1. Install the free Steam client on your Mac and sign in to your account.
    2. Download from the official site — buy Aragami on its Steam store page, making sure the macOS version is listed for your account.
    3. Download the game from your Steam library and launch it; Steam keeps it updated automatically.

    System Requirements

    Steam lists the Mac minimum as OS X 10.9 or higher with an Intel Core i5-class processor. The Mac build is an Intel build, so on Apple silicon Macs it runs through macOS's built-in Rosetta 2 translation, which handles it automatically with no setup on your part.

    FAQs

    Is Aragami native on Apple silicon?

    No, the Mac build is Intel-based. It still plays on M-series Macs because macOS runs it through Rosetta 2, and performance is generally good for a game of this size.

    Is Aragami free?

    No, it is a paid game on Steam, although it is discounted heavily in Steam sales quite often. This page does not provide a free copy; the official Steam store is the safe place to buy it.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Aquarium HD Screensaver is a small Mac App Store app, sold by developer Sudip Bag, that turns an idle Mac display into a high-definition virtual aquarium. Instead of a blank screen or a standard macOS screensaver, you get underwater scenes with tropical fish and coral playing in HD. It is a simple, single-purpose app: there is nothing to configure beyond choosing the scene and letting it run when your Mac is idle, or opening it whenever you want a calm backdrop on your desk.

    Key Features

    • High-definition aquarium scenes with colourful tropical fish
    • Relaxing underwater visuals suitable as a screensaver or ambient display
    • Lightweight app that runs quietly in the background
    • Simple setup through the Mac App Store, with no extra components to install
    • A low-cost paid app with no subscription

    How to Download

    1. Use the green Download button on this page to reach the download options for this app.
    2. Because no separate official vendor page could be verified, the safest route is the developer's own Mac App Store listing — search the App Store for Aquarium HD by Sudip Bag.
    3. Install it from the App Store, then select it in your macOS screensaver settings if you want it to start automatically when the Mac is idle.

    System Requirements

    Aquarium HD Screensaver runs on a recent version of macOS and is distributed through the Mac App Store, which automatically serves the correct build for Intel and Apple silicon Macs. A display capable of HD playback is recommended to enjoy the scenes at full quality.

    FAQs

    Is Aquarium HD Screensaver free?

    No. It is a low-priced paid app on the Mac App Store. This page does not offer a free copy of the paid app; buy it from the official App Store listing so you get updates and support.

    Does it work on Apple silicon Macs?

    Yes, Mac App Store apps are delivered in the format your Mac needs, and current macOS versions run the app on both Apple silicon and Intel machines. Check the App Store listing for the minimum macOS version before buying.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Aquarium 4K – Live Wallpaper, from Mach Software Design, turns your Mac desktop into a living aquarium. Version 1.1.1 for Mac plays full 4K video themes as your wallpaper — exotic fish, stingrays, jellyfish, seahorses and reef scenes from locations such as the Great Barrier Reef — while using only a small amount of CPU per display. On top of the moving background you can place more than 30 desktop widgets, from clocks to weather forecasts, each customised for position, size and colours.

    Key Features

    • More than 20 aquarium themes in full 4K Ultra HD video as live wallpaper
    • Optional screen saver mode using the same themes
    • Over 30 desktop widgets, including a forecast widget with temperature, wind and humidity
    • Unlimited display support, with each display customised independently
    • Efficient video playback averaging around 5% CPU per display, and support for loading your own QuickTime videos

    How to Download

    1. Check the current price and compatibility on the developer's page or the Mac App Store.
    2. Get it from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install it, pick a theme with one click, and add any widgets you want on your desktop.

    System Requirements

    Aquarium 4K requires macOS 10.11 or later and is a universal app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is designed to look its best on 3K, 4K and 5K displays, and version 1.1.1 was updated for macOS 26.

    FAQs

    Will a video wallpaper slow my Mac down?

    The developer states its video player uses on average about 5% CPU per display playing full 4K video, so on a modern Mac the impact should be modest — but battery use on a laptop will still be higher than with a static wallpaper.

    Is Aquarium 4K free?

    No. It is a paid app from Mach Software Design, sold through the Mac App Store. This page does not offer a free version of it; use the official link for pricing.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    This listing is a fan-made build of Aquaria, the underwater exploration adventure originally created by Bit Blot, in which you play Naija, exploring a vast ocean world through song and combat. The build combines the base game running on the open-source Aquaria OSE engine version 1.002 — newer than the original release engine, with better performance and bug fixes — with Sacrifice, a large fan-made standalone expansion that acts as a prequel campaign, plus a collection of community mods released up to 2018.

    Key Features

    • The complete Aquaria adventure: story, exploration, music and voice work from the original game
    • Sacrifice, a huge fan-made prequel expansion, started from the in-game Mods menu
    • Updated open-source OSE 1.002 engine with performance improvements and bug fixes
    • Built-in collection of community mods released up to March 2018
    • Russian language support included in this build

    How to Download

    1. Use the green Download button on this page to get this fan-made build.
    2. For the official commercial game, buy Aquaria from an authorised store such as GOG or Steam and support its creators.
    3. After installing, open Mods, then Installed Mods, inside the game to start the Sacrifice prequel campaign.

    System Requirements

    This build is from an older era of Mac gaming and was made for Intel Macs. On modern Apple silicon Macs it may not run natively, so treat compatibility as uncertain and check before relying on it.

    FAQs

    Is this the official version of Aquaria?

    No. It is an unofficial fan-made build using the open-source engine, the fan-made Sacrifice expansion and community mods. The official game is sold by its creators through authorised stores, which is the version we recommend buying.

    What is Sacrifice?

    Sacrifice is a large fan-made campaign for Aquaria that works as a prequel to the main story. Some players suggest starting the saga with it, and it is launched from the Mods section inside the game.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Dropzone, from Aptonic, is a menu bar utility that makes the everyday jobs of moving, copying and sharing files much faster on a Mac. Drag a file to the top of your screen and a grid appears holding your favourite folders, apps and actions: drop the file on a folder to move it, on an upload action to send it, or park it in the Drop Bar to deal with later. Dropzone Pro 5.1.7 for Mac is the current Pro release of the redesigned Dropzone 5 line.

    Key Features

    • Drag-and-drop grid for moving and copying files to favourite folders and apps
    • Drop Bar: a temporary holding area for files you are gathering before acting on them
    • Pro actions for uploading to services such as Amazon S3 and FTP/SFTP servers
    • Add-on actions and a scripting API in Ruby or Python for building your own
    • Keyboard shortcuts for actions and share menu integration in the Pro version

    How to Download

    1. Download the free version first to try the grid and built-in actions.
    2. Get it from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install it, drag a file to the top of the screen, and customise the grid with your own folders and actions.

    System Requirements

    Dropzone 5 requires macOS 13 Ventura or later and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is also available through the Mac App Store and Setapp.

    FAQs

    What does Dropzone Pro add over the free version?

    Pro adds the heavier features: S3 and SFTP uploads, keyboard shortcuts for actions, share menu integration and installable add-on actions. Aptonic offers a free trial of Pro.

    Is Dropzone Pro a subscription?

    Dropzone 5 Pro is sold as a lifetime licence direct from Aptonic, which was a change from the subscription-only approach of Dropzone 4. Check the Aptonic site for current pricing and upgrade offers for Dropzone 4 owners.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    AppZapper is one of the original Mac uninstallers — it first appeared in 2006 with a simple promise: dragging an app to the Trash leaves its caches, preferences and support files behind, and AppZapper would find and remove those too. After a long hiatus, it returned in 2026 as AppZapper 3000 1.0 for Mac, completely rebuilt for modern macOS, with the same drag, drop and zap idea, a playful 3D zapper presentation and customisable themes.

    Key Features

    • Drag an app into the window and AppZapper lists every related file it finds
    • Removes leftover caches, preference files and support folders along with the app
    • Files are moved safely to the Trash, with undo if you zap something by mistake
    • Redesigned interface with 3D zapping animations and a choice of themes
    • Three free zaps included so you can try it before buying a licence

    How to Download

    1. Make sure your Mac runs macOS 15 or later, which the rebuilt version requires.
    2. Get the free download from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install it, grant Full Disk Access when asked so it can find related files, and drag in the first app you want to remove.

    System Requirements

    AppZapper 3000 requires macOS 15 or later. It needs Full Disk Access permission to locate the files associated with the apps you uninstall.

    FAQs

    Is AppZapper free?

    The download is free and includes three zaps. After that, a licence is required — priced at $18 for a single user on the official site, as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.

    What happened to the old AppZapper 2?

    The classic 2.x version served Macs for many years without a major update. AppZapper 3000 is its rebuilt successor, designed for current macOS releases and security requirements.

    • Markdown and rich text formatting, with notes organised into folders and colour options

    3. Install it, choose which screen edge it lives on, and capture your first note without leaving your current app.

    System Requirements

    SideNotes requires macOS 13 or later and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The optional mobile companion requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or newer and is sold separately.

    FAQs

    Is SideNotes a subscription?

    FiveNotes, from Polish developer Apptorium, takes the opposite approach to most note apps: it gives you exactly five notes, and no more. The idea is focus — with only five slots, you keep just the information that matters right now instead of letting a notes app become a dumping ground. FiveNotes 3.3.0 for Mac lives in your menu bar, appears instantly with a click or keyboard shortcut even over full-screen apps, and formats your notes with Markdown, including checkable tasks.

    Key Features

    • Exactly five notes, switched by coloured dots or keyboard shortcuts
    • Instant access from the menu bar, floating over other apps including full-screen ones
    • Markdown formatting with tasks, themes and automatic backups
    • iCloud sync between Macs, with a separate FiveNotes Mobile app for iPhone and iPad
    • Integration through Apple Shortcuts actions, an AppleScript API and a URL API

    How to Download

    1. Check your Mac runs macOS 13 or newer.
    2. Get the app from the developer or the Mac App Store: Download from the official site
    3. Install it, click the menu bar icon, and write your first note — there are only five, so make them count.

    System Requirements

    FiveNotes requires macOS 13 or newer and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. iCloud sync needs an iCloud account signed in on your devices.

    FAQs

    Is FiveNotes a subscription?

    No. It is a one-time purchase for the current major version, with free updates within that version. The Mac app is listed at $7.99 on the developer's site.

    Why only five notes?

    The limit is the point of the app. It encourages you to prioritise and keep your quick notes clean instead of hoarding hundreds of forgotten snippets.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Appocto Mega Pack 1.0 for Mac is a bundle rather than a single app: it collects 13 separate applications into one pack, aimed at people whose work involves a lot of everyday document and media jobs. Listings for the pack highlight PDF handling and photo work among its strengths, which makes it the kind of bundle a small business or home office might install once and then reach for whenever a small, specific task comes up.

    Key Features

    • Contains 13 individual apps in a single pack
    • Includes tools aimed at working with PDF documents
    • Includes photo-related utilities for common image tasks
    • One installation covers a range of small business and home-office jobs
    • Version 1.0 release of the pack for Mac

    How to Download

    1. Use the green Download button on this page to get the pack.
    2. Open the downloaded file and follow the install steps for the apps you want to keep.
    3. Launch each app from your Applications folder and remove any you do not need, to keep your Mac tidy.

    System Requirements

    No detailed, verified requirements are published for this older bundle. A recent version of macOS is the sensible baseline, and because it is a multi-app pack, allow enough free disk space for the apps you install.

    FAQs

    Is there an official Appocto website?

    We could not verify a current official vendor page for the Appocto Mega Pack, so the official link on this page is left empty rather than guessed. Use the download button on this page instead.

    Do I have to install all 13 apps?

    Bundles like this are normally installed app by app, so you can keep only the tools you actually use and skip the rest.
