LosslessCutLosslessCut is a free tool for quickly cutting video and audio files without losing quality. Normal video editors re-encode the whole file for every change, which can take hours and lowers the quality each time. LosslessCut instead cuts the data stream and copies it over directly, so trimming a large recording takes seconds. It is ideal for cutting out commercials, trimming phone or camera clips, or pulling a single track out of a file. It is built on FFmpeg and made by Mikael Finstad.Video- yt-dlpyt-dlp is a free, open-source command-line program that downloads video and audio from YouTube and thousands of other websites. You give it a web address in Terminal and it saves the video, the audio only, or a whole playlist or channel, in the format and quality you choose. yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, is developed by a large group of volunteers, and is released into the public domain under the Unlicense.Internet Utilities
TransmitTransmit is a file transfer app for Mac made by Panic. It uploads, downloads and manages files on all kinds of servers with a familiar, Finder-like interface: the classics FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and Amazon S3, plus cloud services such as Backblaze B2, Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, OneDrive for Business and Rackspace Cloud Files. It can sync folders, rename many files at once and keep your sites in sync between Macs with Panic Sync.Internet Utilities- todo.txttodo.txt CLI is a simple shell script, todo.sh, for managing your to-do list in Terminal.

The script adds, lists, prioritises, completes and archives tasks with a few keystrokes, and supports projects (+project), contexts (@context) and dates. It is the command-line companion of the todo.txt format, which many other apps on phones and desktops can read too.Productivity
- tmuxtmux is a free, open-source terminal multiplexer. It lets you run several programs in one terminal, split into windows and side-by-side panes, and switch between them with the keyboard.

Spotube is made by Kingkor Roy Tirtho and released under the BSD-4-Clause license.Music & Audio
Scroll ReverserScroll Reverser is a free, open-source Mac app that reverses the direction of scrolling, with separate settings for trackpads and mice, including the Magic Mouse. macOS has only one scroll direction setting for both, so many people end up with "natural" scrolling on the trackpad and a mouse wheel that feels backwards. Scroll Reverser fixes that: keep natural scrolling on the trackpad and classic scrolling on the mouse, or any mix you like. It is made by Nick Moore of Pilot Moon Software and released under the Apache License 2.0.Customization- ripgrepripgrep is a free, open-source command-line tool that searches the files in a folder for text or a regular expression, very fast. Its command is rg: type rg followed by what you are looking for, and it searches the current folder and everything inside it. By default it skips files listed in your .gitignore, hidden files and binary files, so in a code project you see only the results that matter. ripgrep is made by Andrew Gallant and is dual-licensed under the MIT license and the Unlicense.Developer Tools
PermutePermute is a media converter for Mac that turns video, audio, images and PDFs into the format you need with drag and drop.

Newer tools include on-device transcription of audio to text and subtitles. Permute is made by Charlie Monroe Software.Video
OrbStackOrbStack is a fast, light and simple way to run Docker containers and Linux machines on your Mac.

Besides containers it runs full Linux machines from 16 distributions, and a lightweight Kubernetes cluster for local development. OrbStack is made by Orbital Labs.Developer Tools
MosMos makes scrolling with a mouse wheel on your Mac feel as smooth as a trackpad, while keeping the precision of a mouse. On macOS a mouse wheel often scrolls in abrupt jumps; Mos intercepts the wheel events and turns them into smooth, continuous movement. It also lets you set the scroll direction for the mouse separately from the trackpad, so you can keep natural scrolling on one and not the other. Mos is a small menu bar app made by Caldis and loved by more than 21,000 people who starred it on GitHub.Customization

It is made by the MonitorControl team and released under the MIT license.System Utilities
