Obsessive organizer of things and see myself using this daily.

Been using the excellent TablePlus for a while but this one seems nice too.

Looks lovely. $9.99 on the App Store, one-time purchase, sort of: you purchase up to a year of feature updates.

Good old-school fun. I miss being able to theme OS X. How much fun is this? I hope Apple doesn’t bork whatever makes this work.

Written in Swift. Last update was in 2020. There’s also WebAMP, whose Skin Gallery puts a smile on my face.

Because The Unarchiver now shows fucking ads.

Yes, I am complaining about a free thing. I have zero problem paying for the application and/or for the ads to go away. We drown in enough shit as it is. Does make me think why I need a separate unarchiver… perhaps for RAR files?

I use the excellent Karabiner for my keyboard but this appears to be a more ‘native’ solution. Here’s a copy of the repository.

Very cool. More CLI than UTM. Another is Lima.

You can use System Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health -> Info Icon to toggle this “ML” approach where macOS (and the developers who know more than you about how to care for your Mac) will handle this for you but I’ve never gotten it to work as expected despite docking my laptop repeatedly, and for half the day, over a year.

You can buy it on Gumroad or here’s a download link.

Another is Swinsian which looks like iTunes of yore but doesn’t have dark mode (and, not that this means anything, appears to have no updates since 2018).

Both apps are paid. An Open-Source manager is the Strawberry Music Player

Here’s a Github Gist for a CLI option that uses diskutil.
