Grayscale Mode is an open source Linux, macOS, or Unix resource with code, tools, or setup notes.
BatteryBuddy is a macOS menu bar battery indicator created by Neil Sardesai, described as like the default battery indicator but cute. It requires macOS 11.0 or newer and does not collect user data, connecting to the internet only for app updates. The developer notes it has only been tried on a MacBook Pro and may not work on Macs without a battery.
WhatCable is a macOS menu bar app from Bitmoor that explains USB-C connections in plain English, showing cable-reported speed, charging power and e-marker data alongside what the port, charger, adapter and device negotiate. It requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later and is open source, with a free tier for the current connection and an optional Pro tier.
Rapid Photo Downloader is free software released under the GNU GPL license. It downloads photos and videos from cameras, phones and memory cards, can download from multiple devices simultaneously, and backs up files as they are downloaded. It runs under Linux desktops and on the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 11.
Touché is a Mac app that simulates, shows and hides Apple's Touch Bar interface and takes screen captures. It offers global keyboard shortcuts for toggling the simulated Touch Bar window and for saving or copying screenshots. It requires macOS 10.12.2 or later and is free to download.
Linux Live Kit is a set of shell scripts for creating a custom Live Linux. Users install a distribution, ensure squashfs and aufs or overlayfs kernel modules are supported, then run the build script as root to produce an ISO image; a TAR archive and bootinst.sh can make a bootable USB device.
Rectangle is a macOS app that moves and resizes windows using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas. It is free and open source, supports macOS 10.15 and later on Intel and Apple Silicon, and can act as a drop-in replacement for Spectacle. A paid Rectangle Pro version adds custom shortcuts for any size and position.
