Freeter for MAC
Free, open-source workflow organizer for Mac: keep web apps, files, notes, to-do lists and commands together, by project. Still in beta.
Freeter Overview
Freeter is an organizer for people who work on their computer. It gathers what you need for work into one place, sorted by projects and workflows, so you can switch between tasks without hunting through windows. You pick a project from a drop-down menu and build each workflow from widgets. Open Freeter at any time with Cmd+Shift+F or from its tray icon.
The webpage widget embeds web apps in your workflow and can stay signed in with different accounts per project, workflow or widget. Other widgets open files and folders in your editors, run saved commands in the terminal, send templated web searches, and hold to-do lists, notes and a countdown timer. Freeter is made by Alex Kaul and is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license, with donations welcome. It is still labelled beta: version 2.8.0-beta improves performance and updates Chromium. There are separate downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel, it needs macOS 10.15 or later, and it is also available for Windows and Linux.

CluxoWhen you share your screen or record a tutorial, the mouse pointer is easy to lose. Cluxo is a small menu bar app that puts a colored ring around the cursor and shows every click, drag and scroll, so viewers always know where to look. It also has a spotlight that dims everything except the area around the pointer, a live magnifier, an on-screen keystroke display and a drawing mode for marking up the screen while you talk.Productivity
Time to LeaveTime to Leave is a desktop app for keeping track of your working time, laid out much like a time-card system. You log the time you started work, and the app works out when you should leave, taking into account the time you spent on breaks such as lunch, then notifies you when that moment comes. It needs no database setup: you install it and start punching in. You can log your day in a Day view or a whole Month view, and see your running balance of hours.Productivity
ColuracetamColuracetam is a Markdown reader and editor for Mac that shows the same rendered preview everywhere. Press the spacebar on a .md file in Finder and Quick Look shows it rendered in color, and Finder shows generated thumbnails of your Markdown files. Open a file in the app and you get a live split: plain monospace source on one side and the rendered page on the other, with text selection and search that work across the whole rendered document.Productivity
MassReplaceItMassReplaceIt is a find and replace utility for many files at once. You choose the files or folders, type what to look for and what to put in its place, and MassReplaceIt searches either the file contents or the file names, such as changing the extension of hundreds of files in one go. Before anything is written you can preview the changes, and each search gives detailed results. Searches can be saved and used again, filters leave out files you do not want touched, and regular expressions handle patterns that plain text cannot.Productivity
TypeCueTypeCue takes the typing out of screen recordings, tutorials, webinars and live presentations. You write your demo as an ordered list of text blocks. During the take, each press of a global hotkey (Control-Option-X by default) types the next block into whatever field has focus, as real keystrokes at a human pace, with no typos and the same result on every take. Press the hotkey again while it types to stop it.Productivity
