MacDirStat scans any folder and turns your filesystem into an interactive sunburst chart — every ring is a depth level, every arc is a file or folder, sized by disk usage. Hover to inspect. Click to drill in. Right-click to delete.
Vorssaint is the one menu bar app that does the work of a whole shelf of paid Mac tools. Per app volume, a full system monitor, window controls, clipboard history, a window switcher, a file shelf, an app uninstaller, link cleaning, keep awake and a handful more, all living behind a single icon up in your menu bar. Install it once and stop paying for and juggling a pile of single purpose apps. It is local-first and stays out of your way: core features run on your Mac, with network used only for update checks, speed tests and Homebrew actions you start. Free, open source, no account, no subscription and no Vorssaint telemetry.
A different theme color for every app.

MarkItDown is a lightweight Python utility for converting various files to Markdown for use with LLMs and related text analysis pipelines. To this end, it is most comparable to textract, but with a focus on preserving important document structure and content as Markdown (including: headings, lists, tables, links, etc.) While the output is often reasonably presentable and human-friendly, it is meant to be consumed by text analysis tools -- and may not be the best option for high-fidelity document conversions for human consumption.

Avnac is a browser-first design editor for posters, layouts, social graphics, and other canvas-based compositions.
Current Product State
Avnac today is strongest around:
Fast browser-local editing
A custom scene editor with direct manipulation controls
Files saved in IndexedDB with a dedicated /files view
JSON import/export
Legacy file migration into the current editor format
Image export as PNG, JPG, and WebP
Prompt-driven editing through the Magic panelThings that are true right now:
The main editing experience lives in the frontend
The app is desktop-first; mobile editing is intentionally blocked
File persistence is primarily browser-local today
The backend exists, but it is optional for many day-to-day editor tasksOpenScreen is your free, open-source alternative to Screen Studio (sort of).
If you don't want to pay $29/month for Screen Studio but want a much simpler version that does what most people seem to need - quick, polished product demos and walkthroughs you'd post on X, Reddit. OpenScreen does not offer all Screen Studio features, but covers the basics well!
Screen Studio is an awesome product and this is definitely not a 1:1 clone. OpenScreen is a much simpler take, just the basics for folks who want control and don't want to pay. If you need all the fancy features, your best bet is to support Screen Studio (they really do a great job, haha). But if you just want something free (no gotchas) and open, this project does the job!
100% free for both personal and commercial use. Use it, modify it, distribute it — just be cool 😁 and shout out the project if you feel like it.
Put an unused key to work
Convert the caps lock key or any modifier key to the hyper key, all four modifiers combined: ⌃⌥⌘⇧
The hyper key acts as an additional modifier key that you can use in any app with keyboard shortcuts.
Or just remap caps lock to a more useful key.
