    JixiPix Aquarella gives photos the light, transparent feel of real watercolor, with color that pools and blends like wet paint on paper. It suits casual creators who want a gentle painted look for portraits and landscapes without complex editing software.

    Key Features

    • Aqua Color presets that paint with the original colors found in your photo
    • Two Tone presets that wash the image with a pair of colors you choose
    • Adjustments for strength and bloom so you can keep results soft or vivid
    • Custom presets, randomize option and support for high resolution output

    2. Open the downloaded file and complete the install steps on your Mac.
    3. Launch Aquarella, add a photo and try the preset folders, then fine tune the adjustments to suit the image.

    System Requirements

    Aquarella is a lightweight creative app for Mac. Before installing, check your macOS version under About This Mac and make sure your system is up to date.

    FAQs

    What kinds of photos work best in Aquarella?

    Images with clear subjects and soft light respond beautifully. Portraits, flowers and landscapes take on a calm painted mood, while very dark photos may need brightening first.

    Can I create a painting with only two colors?

    Yes. The Two Tone preset folder washes your image with two colors of your choice, which gives a calm, unified result that looks lovely for cards and prints.

    Can I save my favorite settings?

    Yes. Like other JixiPix apps, Aquarella lets you save custom presets. That makes it easy to apply the same watercolor mood across a whole set of photos.

    Blockr is an outbound firewall for Mac that shows which apps reach the internet and lets you decide what gets through. When an app first opens a connection, Blockr holds it and asks what to do. Your answer becomes a lasting rule, so the same question rarely returns. Everything runs on your Mac, with no account and nothing sent to a company server.

    Key Features

    • Holds the first connection from each new app and asks allow or block
    • Rules for a whole app or one host, with host rules overriding app rules
    • Live connection log grouped by app, with hostnames, ports, verdicts and search
    • Optional blocklists for ads, trackers and malware domains, plus encrypted DNS
    • Temporary rules and a pause option that expire on their own

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page and save the Blockr disk image.
    2. You can also Download from the official site to read the vendor notes first.
    3. Open the image, drag Blockr into Applications and approve the network filter when macOS asks.

    System Requirements

    Blockr needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without extra steps.

    FAQs

    Does Blockr send my traffic to a server?

    No. Blockr works fully on your Mac, decides when a connection opens, never decrypts traffic, and keeps your log on your computer.

    What happens if I ignore an alert?

    It does not wait forever. Blockr applies your default action, and your later answer still becomes the rule.

    Can I block one host but keep the app allowed?

    Yes. Host rules win over app rules, so an app can stay allowed while one tracker stays blocked.

Version 10 adds an AI listing generator and uses the newest eBay image upload system. It suits private sellers and small shops alike.

    Key Features

    • Creates listings with a large set of design templates and layout tools
    • AI Listing Generator that drafts listing text for GarageSale Pro users
    • Scheduler Groups that start listings at set times on a repeating pattern
    • Tracks orders, sales and inventory without leaving the app
    • Uploads listing images through the latest eBay picture service

    How to Download

    2. Or Download from the official site through the iwascoding product page.
    3. Install the app, connect your eBay account, and import or create your first listing.

    System Requirements

    The vendor lists macOS 12 or later for GarageSale 10.1, with macOS 15 or newer recommended, and the app runs natively on Apple silicon Macs. You also need an eBay seller account to list and sell.

    FAQs

    Is the update to 10.1 free?

    Yes, if you already own a GarageSale 10 licence or use GarageSale Pro. Upgrades from older major versions are paid, with pricing shown inside the app.

    Why should GarageSale 9 users upgrade?

    eBay is switching off the old image upload system that version 9 uses. Version 10 already uses the new system, so listings keep their pictures.

    Yes. The vendor says GarageSale 10 is ready for the latest macOS releases and runs natively on Macs with Apple silicon chips.

    TurboMosaic Pro Plus creates a large picture out of hundreds of smaller photos, so an image that looks striking from a distance reveals personal memories up close. It suits anyone making a poster or family gift from many smaller moments.

    Key Features

    • Photo mosaics built from your own image library with careful color matching
    • Tile shapes beyond squares, including circular, hexagonal, diamond and rectangular tiles
    • Controls for tile count and detail so you can balance clarity and texture
    • Export to JPEG, PNG or TIFF for printing at home or at a print service
    • Guided workflow that takes you from main image to finished mosaic in order

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac version, or Download from the official site for the vendor page.
    2. Open the downloaded file and install the app by following the prompts.
    3. Launch TurboMosaic, choose your main image, add a folder of tile photos and generate your first mosaic.

    System Requirements

    The vendor states that TurboMosaic needs macOS 10.11 or newer. Large mosaics use plenty of memory, so closing other heavy apps helps, and you can confirm your macOS version under About This Mac.

    FAQs

    How many tile photos do I need?

    More is better. A varied library gives the app more colors and tones to match against your main image, which usually produces a clearer and richer mosaic.

    Can I print a finished mosaic?

    Yes. Export the result as a JPEG, PNG or TIFF file and print it yourself or send it to a printing service. Choose a large export size for big prints.

    Are square tiles the only option?

    No. TurboMosaic is known for offering other tile shapes such as circles, hexagons and diamonds, which give your mosaic a more distinctive texture than plain squares.
