10 Epic (Free!) Little Mac Utilities That Just Get On With It
Ten free little Mac utilities, each one fixing something macOS should really have sorted years ago: a proper system-wide equaliser, per-app volume control, an Apple TV remote for your menu bar, a clipboard manager that reads text in screenshots, and an app that mutes your mic while you hammer away at your keyboard on Zoom.

"CAN'T VERIFY THIS APP"?
Boring Notch, Qupi and CoreEQ aren't signed by Apple, so macOS will warn you the first time you open them. Click Done, then open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once. (Installing Boring Notch via Homebrew skips the warning altogether.)
