-
Everything — voidtools
Windows file search that finds results before you finish typing, which makes the built-in search look broken.
-
Rectangle — Ryan Hanson
Keyboard shortcuts to snap Mac windows into place, the kind of feature Apple should have built in ten years ago.
-
The Unarchiver — MacPaw
It opens every strange archive format anyone has ever emailed you, and that's all it does.
-
Amphetamine — William Gustafson
It keeps your Mac awake during big downloads and long presentations, and it has never once asked you to upgrade.
-
f.lux — Michael and Lorna Herf
It warmed up screens at night long before every operating system copied the idea, and it's still the gentlest version.
