Notch shelf

Ledge

Throw a file at the notch. It lands exactly where it belongs.

For the drag across four windows that always finds the wrong one.

• Catch anything. Drag a file, folder, image or link up to the notch and let go; Ledge holds it on a shelf.
• Hand it off, reshaped. Drop it on a terminal and it becomes the path, on Slack the upload, on Finder the file.
• Always a throw away. Open the shelf with ⌥ Space or a click on the notch.

Notch notesNew

Inkling

A little room to think.

For the thought you almost lost while doing something else.

• ✓Right in your notch. Hover or press Option–N, jot it down, and tuck it away with Command–Return.
• ✓Room for the whole idea. Checklists, tables, templates, tags, and linked notes, all close at hand.
• ✓A little company. Meet Ink, a curious pair of eyes. Lively, Calm, or Still: you choose.

03/ 17

Notch companionsNew

Notchpals

A little friend in your notch.

For anyone who forgets water, lunch and bedtime while working on a Mac.

• Blip and 2 friends you pick. Blip, a tiny alien, looks after your eyes; you add 2 more areas of your day, like meals, posture or sleep, each with its own character and 8 faces.
• Reminders that fit the moment. Lunch in the early afternoon, a battery line only on battery, and usually at most one visit every 20 minutes.
• Quiet when it matters. During calls, in full screen apps, and while you are away.

04/ 17

Dictation

Voice Keyboard Pro

Your keyboard was the bottleneck.

For anyone who talks faster than they type.

• Hold, speak, let go. Words land at your cursor in any app: Mail, Slack, VS Code, Terminal. Punctuation and all.
• Your words, your way. Personal vocabulary, snippets, and an optional rewrite that tidies as you go.
• Mac and iPhone. The same keyboard on both, on one plan.

05/ 17

Keyboard overlayNew

Typebar

Your keys, on screen.

For anyone who records their screen, gives live demos, or is still learning the shortcuts.

• Every key, lit. An on-screen keyboard lights as you type, and a pill names each shortcut: ⇧⌘4 Screenshot Selection.
• Cheatsheets for every app. Hold ⌘ and the keys show what they do in the app in front.
• Made for recordings. It shows itself when a recording starts, keeps password fields private, and sends nothing you type anywhere.

06/ 17

Keyboard soundsNew

Woodpecker

The sound of a real keyboard.

For anyone who misses a mechanical keyboard while typing on a Mac.

• Every key sounds like itself. Each key plays its own sound, cut from real recordings, from where it sits on the board.
• 22 switches. Cherry MX Brown, Blue, Black and Red, Topre, Holy Panda, NovelKeys Cream and more.
• Quiet when it should be. On calls, in password fields, or with ⌃⌥K.

07/ 17

Trackpad gesturesNew

Trill

Your trackpad can do more.

For anyone who wanted more from their trackpad and found BetterTouchTool too much.

• Sets, ready to switch on. Everyday, Browser, Windows, Media, Writing and Developer. Or record a gesture by doing it.
• A Hyper Key. Caps Lock becomes a fifth key for your own shortcuts, with a cheat sheet while you hold it.
• Felt, not guessed. A tick under your finger for every gesture, on a Force Touch trackpad.

08/ 17

Morse codeNew

Dot & Dash

A Morse code machine you can press.

For anyone who wants to learn Morse code, or who knows it and wants to use it on a Mac.

• Learn it by keying it. Twenty short chapters take you from E and T to the whole alphabet, the figures and the prosigns.
• Write it, and read it. Type a message and the machine sends it, with its tape and its tone; turn Morse into text, and text into Morse.
• Key it in any app. Hold Right Option and what you key is typed into the app in front.

09/ 17

PDF redaction

Basalt

Redacted means gone.

For lawyers, HR, finance, and anyone who sends documents out of the building.

• Truly removed. It removes the text underneath, not a black box drawn over it.
• It proves it. Every export is re-opened, checked and signed with a certificate, or no file is written.
• Eighteen tools, one window. Merge, split, OCR, Bates numbers, signatures, compare, clean-up.

10/ 17

File repair

Manatee

Drop in something broken. Get back something that works.

For the file someone sent you at 11 pm that won’t open.

• Repair. Rescue a corrupt video, PDF or Word document.
• Convert and shrink. HEIC, MKV, an old .doc: make it open anywhere, and fit under WhatsApp’s or Slack’s limit.
• Clean. Strip GPS, EXIF and document metadata before you share.

11/ 17

Disk cleanup

Crumb

Your Mac’s storage, finally explained.

For the moment the Mac says “Your disk is almost full.”

• The whole-Mac audit. Finally see what “System Data” actually is.
• Ask before you delete. Plain-English answers about what’s safe to remove, and why.
• Uninstall properly. The app, and everything it left behind.

12/ 17

File privacy

Hushbox

Right-click a file. It locks where it sits.

For the files that should stay out of Spotlight and Recents.

• Lock from the right-click menu. Choose Lock with Hushbox on any file or folder. It stays exactly where it is.
• Out of Spotlight and Recents. What’s inside disappears until you unlock it with Touch ID.
• AES-256, fully local. Every locked item is an encrypted disk image made with Apple’s own tools.

13/ 17

Hidden settings

Mainspring

Make your Mac unmistakably yours.

For people who have opinions about their Dock.

• Ninety-odd power-ups. The settings macOS hides, each one a switch.
• Recipes and Scenes. Apply a whole setup in one click; switch it on a trigger.
• Snapshotted first. Every change unwinds. One click, no Terminal.

14/ 17

Task managerNew

Foreman

See what's slowing your Mac down, and stop it.

For anyone who misses Task Manager from Windows, or just wants to know which app is hogging their Mac.

• Every app, with everything it runs. Helper processes grouped under their app and added up, with plain-English names for macOS's own.
• End Task that works. A second press force quits, and a frozen app is force quit at once. Efficiency Mode, Suspend and Restart too.
• Startup Apps, cleaned up. Everything that starts at login, with leftovers from deleted apps flagged.

15/ 17

Screen privacyNew

Shoji

Press ⌘L. Your screen slides shut.

For anyone whose screen is seen by more people than they would like.

• Lock in a keystroke. Every display is covered at once, and Touch ID opens it with every window exactly where you left it.
• Blur just what matters. One app, your chats, or everything but the window you are using.
• No permissions. It never records or reads your screen, and nothing leaves your Mac.

16/ 17

Workday receipt

Punchcard

Clock out. Take the receipt.

For freelancers, and anyone who wants to see where the day went.

• It notices. Your day, from the menu bar. App names and nothing else.
• It prints. A receipt at closing time. Tear it off, post it.
• It keeps your day to itself. Your tracked time never leaves the Mac.

17/ 17

Low batteryNew

Lifeboat

Save your work before the battery dies.

For anyone whose MacBook has died in the middle of something.

• Saves at 10%. Documents are saved with the app's own save, untitled ones into a Lifeboat Rescued folder. TextEdit today, more apps as each is checked.
• Remembers what you had open. Apps, windows and where they were, browser tabs, Finder windows and the clipboard.
• Opens it all again. When the Mac starts, Welcome back puts everything back where it was.
