Small tools that fix everyday annoyances

Open Source

iTerm2

Feature-rich Terminal replacement for macOS with split panes, hotkey window, search, autocomplete and shell integration.

I’ve used terminal emulators everywhere. Like, a lot. And this one is by far the best made, in my opinion.

Open Source

Lightweight, keyboard-driven clipboard manager that keeps your copy history searchable from the menu bar. Paid on the App Store.

Why macOS doesn’t do this natively is a mystery. But out of all platforms, Maccy has the best UX for it.

Open Source

Framework for managing your Zsh configuration, with hundreds of plugins and themes for a nicer, faster terminal.

I love the “mortalscumbag” theme. Yeah, that’s the name of it.

CLI only

Open Source

One menu bar icon doing the job of a dozen paid Mac apps. Local-first.

I’m not kidding: this replaced four other utility apps on my Mac.

Open Source

Fast QR code and barcode scanner and generator, with no ads and no tracking.

The default QR code readers on Android phones are generally worse than this.

Open Source

Shows your system info next to a distro logo in the terminal: OS, kernel, CPU, GPU, memory and more, fast and highly customizable.

CLI only

Open Source

Offline file viewer that opens PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, photos, video, audio, Markdown and code, with zero permissions.

It’s so annoying how hard it is to open files without bloat on Android. Come on, desktops solved this more than 20 years ago. This app is a blessing.

Open Source

Microsoft's set of Windows power-user utilities, including FancyZones, PowerRename, Color Picker and Command Palette.

I refuse to use Windows without it.

Open Source

Download videos and audio files from video platforms.

I hate when I want to share a meme or an interesting video from a platform that requires a login, and my friends can’t see it. This app solves that.

Open Source

Terminal and Linux environment for Android: install packages, run shells, SSH, Python, Git and more, no root needed.

Everything is Unix if you try hard enough!
