We love the Mac and its great user community. So we wrote a few little utilities that we think belong on every Mac. And we make them available for free. We hope they’ll be useful for you too.
Like Spotlight for Experts
Mac Apps for Search Tools. The Search Tools catalog contains software programs designed to help users find information or files online, on local networks, or even on their local computers. This is the Productivity App that every Mac should have. EasyFinder, it lives up to the name, and gets me to that folder quickly. This is a free program that I would pay money for, simple, flexibvle, easy to use, and I use it every day. Hundreds of times.
Spotlight is great, but sometimes you need something more specialized. EasyFind finds files and folders by name, content, tags, or comments using advanced Boolean operators similar to DEVONthink and DEVONagent, wildcards, phrases, even regular expressions. It does not require indexing, is fast, and uses very little memory.
Of course EasyFind doesn’t just give you the files. It also shows previews and offers many other options to work with them.
Version 5.0.2. Requires OS X El Capitan or later.
Photos and Webcams on Your Desktop
With PhotoStickies you have your dearest ones always with you at your Mac. Or at least pictures of them. PhotoStickies shows your favorite pictures directly on your desktop, floating and, if you like, borderless.
PhotoStickies also shows video streams from cameras or live webcams on your desktop and updates them automatically. You can even record them or make them your desktop picture.
Version 6.0.1. Requires OS X El Capitan or later.
Honey, I Have Shrunk the Images
Create thumbnails for your website in seconds with ThumbsUp. Drag them to its icon and it converts them in a batch with the previously set options. Of course ThumbsUp works with all image formats supported by the Mac including PDF documents and movies.
Version 4.5.3. Requires OS X Yosemite or later.
Little Menus with a Big Effect
Add one or more out of six menus to the right side of your menu bar. They give you access to your applications, folders, documents, files, and text snippets. Launch any app with a single menu choice or insert text snippets into your documents.
Version 1.9.11. Requires OS X El Capitan or later.
Services appear in the Mac’s Services sub-menu and act on selected text, pictures, links, or files. They are provided either by the system itself, by third-party applications such as DEVONthink and DEVONagent, or can be installed as separate modules..
CalcService
Enter calculations into any Service-aware app like as Mail, Messages, or any of our apps, and get the result with a single keystroke. Append the result to the formula, replace the selected text, or show the result in a panel. Never launch Calculator again if you just need a quick calculation.
WordService
WordService provides a large number of commands for working with selected text. Extend your favorite word processor, email app, or web browser e.g. with functions for reformating text paragraphs, cleaning up tabs, quotes, or line endings. Remove unwanted text parts, sort lines or paragraphs, change case, and do much, much more with text.
