BEST MAC UTILITIES...EVER

WHILE MACOS HAS most bases covered when it comes to core apps and utilities, third-party tools can add a host of extra features and go a long way to improving your Mac experience and enhancing your productivity. In this feature, we'll guide you through the best (ever) utilities for Mac - both free and paid for that can do exactly that! Utility apps may not be the most exciting that come to mind, but they can prove a game-changer for how you use your Mac. First off, we take a look at apps to customize macOS and help you get everything organized.

Personalizing your Mac experience is akin to doing so for your physical workspace, providing a comfortable and efficient environment to work in and stay focused.

Something as simple as automatically shifting the display to warmer colors or decluttering the menu bar can make a real difference.

Next, we delve into the dry but important business of data backup and system maintenance. A Mac's storage can soon become cluttered with all sorts of redundant files and apps, so utilities that give it a spring clean are always useful - as are those that detect and remove malware or recover lost files.

Finally, we explore productivity-boosting apps. From power-search tools to automatic file sorters and meeting aggregators, these utilities will help you to improve your workflow.

CUSTOMIZE, ORGANIZE
