    Cinebench is a free benchmark tool from Maxon for Mac owners who want to see how fast their machine renders 3D work. It renders a demanding scene with the Redshift engine, the same engine family used in Cinema 4D, and turns the result into scores for the processor and the graphics card. It helps buyers, upgraders and 3D artists check cooling, compare machines and confirm that a system stays stable under a heavy load.

    Key Features

    • Renders a real 3D scene to score processor performance in a repeatable way
    • Tests graphics performance with the Redshift GPU benchmark
    • Includes single core, multi core and SMT core test options
    • Lets you set a longer minimum run time for stability and stress checks
    • Supports the latest Apple silicon chips alongside Intel based Macs

    How to Download

    1. Open the official Maxon page using the link below.
    2. Download from the official site and pick the Mac version of Cinebench.
    3. Open the downloaded file, install the app and run your first test.

    System Requirements

    Cinebench 2026 needs macOS 14.7 or later. It runs on Intel Macs and on Macs with Apple M series chips, and the GPU test needs enough graphics memory to load the scene.

    FAQs

    Is Cinebench free?

    Yes. Maxon offers Cinebench at no cost, so you can test your Mac and compare it with other machines for free.

    Can I compare Cinebench 2026 scores with older versions?

    No. Maxon states that the 2026 scores were adjusted to a new range, so they should only be compared with scores from the same 2026 release.

    What should I do before running a test?

    Close other apps first. Background tasks can change the result, and a cool, freshly started machine will often score a little higher than a hot one.

    QR Wizard is a small native Mac app from enSilico for making QR codes good enough to print. You enter your content, shape the design until it matches your poster or packaging, and export a clean code image straight from your Mac. It suits shop owners, teachers, event organisers and anyone who needs a tidy QR code for a menu, a sign, a handout or a web link.

    Key Features

    • Create QR codes for web links, plain text and other everyday content
    • Style your codes with colours and design options to fit layouts
    • Live preview, so the code updates on screen as you type
    • Save finished codes as image files ready for documents and print

    FAQs

    What can I put in a QR code?

    Most people encode a web link or a short piece of text. Codes on menus and posters usually point to a page the scanner can open at once.

    Does QR Wizard need a subscription?

    No. EnSilico sells its apps with lifetime licences and states that it does not use subscriptions across its range.

    Can I use the codes in print?

    Yes. Save the code as an image and place it in your design. Print one test copy and scan it before a large print run.

    Maccy is a tiny clipboard manager for Mac that remembers what you copy. On its own, macOS keeps only the last item, so an older link, address or code snippet is gone as soon as you copy something new. Maccy quietly saves your copy history and brings it back with a keyboard shortcut from the menu bar. It suits writers, coders and anyone who pastes all day long.

    Key Features

    • Keeps a history of the text and images you copy on your Mac
    • Opens with a keyboard shortcut so an older clip is seconds away
    • Searches your history as you type to find the item you need
    • Lets you pin clips you reuse often so they stay close at hand
    • Stores history only on your Mac and ignores items marked as confidential

    How to Download

    1. Open the official Maccy website using the link below.
    2. Download from the official site and save the Mac app file.
    3. Open the file, move Maccy to your Applications folder and launch it.

    FAQs

    Is Maccy free?

    Yes. The download from the official site is free and the code is open source. A paid App Store build is also offered for people who want to support development.

    Does Maccy send my copied items anywhere?

    No. Your history is stored on your own Mac. Maccy does not need an account, and items that apps mark as confidential are ignored by default.

    How do I bring back an older clip?

    Press the keyboard shortcut, start typing to search your history, pick the item you want and it is ready to paste where you need it.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 6, 2026

    NIR Color from JixiPix gives your photos the strange, dreamlike look of near infrared photography without a converted camera. Real infrared images strip colour away, so the app applies its near infrared effect first and then adds colour back with filters in violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Ordinary landscapes turn pale and surreal, skies deepen and foliage glows. It is made for photographers and hobbyists who want a fresh creative direction.

    Key Features

    • Near infrared effect that transforms normal photos into surreal scenes
    • Colour filters that add violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red tones
    • Ready made presets that give you strong starting points in one click
    • Fine controls to adjust the effect strength and colour balance yourself
    • Save and share finished images in the sizes your projects need

    How to Download

    1. Open the official JixiPix products page and find NIR Color in the range. Download from the official site
    2. Choose the Mac edition and complete the purchase or demo download offered there.
    3. Install the app, open a landscape photo and apply your first infrared preset.

    System Requirements

    NIR Color runs on Macs with a recent version of macOS. Photo editing is happiest with a few gigabytes of free space for your image library, and larger photos benefit from more memory, as with any photo app.

    FAQs

    Do I need an infrared camera?

    No. NIR Color creates the infrared look from ordinary photos, which is the whole point of the app.

    Which photos suit NIR Color best?

    Landscapes with sky, water and green foliage respond beautifully, because those areas change the most under the infrared effect.

    Is NIR Color also in a bundle?

    Yes. JixiPix includes NIR Color in its Premium Pack, which gathers eighteen of the company photo effect apps in one package.

    Enolsoft PDF Compressor is a small Mac utility for making large PDF files easier to share and store. Big reports, scanned documents and portfolios often grow too large for email or upload limits. This app reduces that file size in a few clicks while keeping the document readable. Office staff, students and anyone who sends PDFs often will find the simple window and batch processing handy for daily work.

    Key Features

    • Reduce PDF file size for easier emailing, uploading and storage
    • Compress many PDF files together with batch processing
    • Add files with drag and drop into a clear, simple window
    • Balance output quality and file size with compression options
    • Preview file details before and after each compression job

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button at the top of this page to get the app.
    2. Open the downloaded file and follow the steps shown on screen.
    3. Move the app to Applications, launch it and add your first PDF.

    System Requirements

    Enolsoft PDF Compressor runs on current macOS versions on Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It works fully on your Mac, so your documents stay on your own machine.

    FAQs

    Will compression reduce the quality of my PDF?

    Compression always trades some quality for size, mainly in images. Choosing a gentler setting keeps text and pictures looking sharp while still saving space.

    Can I compress several files at once?

    Yes. Batch processing lets you add a group of PDFs and compress them together, which saves time when you prepare a whole set of documents.

    Does the app change my original files?

    The app creates compressed output files for sharing. Keep your original PDFs stored safely if you need the untouched full quality versions later.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 6, 2026

    Enolsoft PDF Converter OCR is a Mac app for people who work with scanned documents and need the text back in an editable form. It reads scanned PDFs and image files, recognises the printed words on the page and saves the result as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text and other common formats. Office staff, students and researchers use it to avoid typing long documents again by hand, and to make scanned archives searchable and easy to reuse in new work.

    Key Features

    • Recognises text in scanned PDFs and images with OCR
    • Converts files to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, HTML and plain text
    • Handles many files in one batch to save repeated work
    • Supports a wide range of recognition languages for mixed documents
    • Works to keep the layout of the page in the converted output file

    How to Download

    1. Open the official Enolsoft product page using the link below.
    2. Download from the official site and save the Mac installer.
    3. Open the installer, add the app to your Applications folder and launch it.

    System Requirements

    The vendor lists this app for macOS 10.11 or later. You only need a scanner if you plan to create your own scans before converting them.

    FAQs

    Can it read a scanned PDF?

    Yes. That is its main job. Turn OCR on, add the scanned file, choose your output format and the app will try to recognise the printed text on each page.

    Does it also work on normal PDFs?

    Yes. Regular PDFs with real text convert as well, along with common image formats such as JPG, PNG and TIFF that hold scanned pages.

    Why do some words come out wrong?

    Recognition depends on scan quality. Blurry, tilted or low contrast pages are harder to read, so a clean and straight scan gives far better results.

    Enolsoft PDF Password Remover is a Mac utility for working with your own protected PDF files. Sometimes a document you created or received with permission will not print, copy or edit because of password based restrictions. This app removes those owner restrictions and, when you know the open password, helps you save an unlocked copy. It is meant for files you own or have clear permission to open and change.

    Key Features

    • Remove owner password restrictions from PDF files you own
    • Save an unlocked copy you can print, copy and edit freely
    • Unlock files where you know the open password and enter it
    • Process several documents together with batch processing support
    • Add files with drag and drop into a simple, clear window

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button at the top of this page to get the app.
    2. Open the downloaded file and follow the steps shown on screen.
    3. Move the app to Applications, launch it and add a PDF you own.

    System Requirements

    Enolsoft PDF Password Remover runs on current macOS versions on Intel and Apple silicon Macs. All processing happens on your Mac, so your documents stay private.

    FAQs

    Should I use this on files that are not mine?

    No. Use it only on files you own or have permission to open. Removing restrictions from documents that belong to other people without permission is not appropriate.

    What if I have forgotten the open password completely?

    Owner restrictions can be removed directly, but a file locked with an open password needs that password. Without it, ask the sender or owner for access.

    Does the app keep my original PDF unchanged?

    It saves the result as a new unlocked copy. Your original protected file stays as it was, which is safer while you work.

    TuaFlow is a plugin for Adobe After Effects sold through aescripts, made for motion designers who build and refine compositions on a Mac. It installs into After Effects and works inside your normal project window, so you learn it as part of the host app rather than as a separate program. It suits animators and editors who know After Effects well and want an extra specialised tool in their daily setup.

    Key Features

    • Works inside Adobe After Effects as part of your normal project workflow
    • Installs through the aescripts and aeplugins manager app
    • Adds its own controls inside the host app so settings stay with your project
    • Fits Mac based After Effects setups used for motion design work
    • Saves its settings with your project file so work can be reopened later

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button at the top of this page to get the plugin package.
    2. Open the package and follow the install steps, or add it through the aescripts manager app.
    3. Restart After Effects and look for TuaFlow inside the app to start using it.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac with Adobe After Effects installed, running a macOS version that After Effects supports. TuaFlow has no stand alone app of its own.

    FAQs

    Does TuaFlow work without After Effects?

    No. It only runs inside Adobe After Effects, so you need the host app on your Mac first.

    How do I keep the plugin up to date?

    Use the aescripts and aeplugins manager app, which handles installs and updates for the tools on your account.

    Is TuaFlow a good fit for beginners?

    It is aimed at people who already work in After Effects. New users should learn the host app first and add plugins later.
