Everyday apps
Keka
The macOS (and iOS) file archiver. With Keka you can compress files in a bunch of formats. You can also encrypt them to store and share securely and with privacy.
Numi
Beautiful and powerful calculator app.
macOS tools
Cakebrew
The Homebrew GUI app for macOS. A convenient way to use Homebrew especially if you are familiar with Synaptic package manager UI (or any other Synaptic-like UI).
Latest
A free and open source app for macOS that checks if all your apps are up to date. It supports apps downloaded from the Mac App Store and apps that use Sparkle for updates, which covers most of the apps on the market.
AppCleaner
Small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps. Actually, this is not an open source app (sad). But it is still free (as free beer) and works really good.
Rectangle
Rectangle is a window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift. With Recangle you could move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas.
Clipy
Clipy is just a good handy Clipboard extension app for macOS.
HiddenBar
This is a free and open source app that helps you hide some items in your menu bar.
Dev tools
DB Browser for SQLite
Simple yet functional sqlite browser and manager.
Boop
Boop – is a wonderfull app for performing actions on text.
