Browse by category, compare alternatives, and read short guides. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/ Last updated: 2026-10-25 Listings link to the developer. Editor’s Choice is a paid placement and the listing says so. ## Categories - [Design](https://www.picmacapps.store/category/design) - Most design happens inside one big app, but the work around it doesn't. Reference piles up, exports scatter across folders, and a surprising share of the day goes to finding a file you already made. The apps in this category cover that surrounding work on macOS. - [Developer Tools](https://www.picmacapps.store/category/developer-tools) - A Mac development setup is mostly small tools that each remove one daily annoyance: exposing localhost to a webhook, seeing what is really eating the CPU, getting back the snippet you copied an hour ago. This category collects the ones worth the install. - [Productivity](https://www.picmacapps.store/category/productivity) - Two apps are listed here, one from each guide. Anytype is for structured, encrypted notes. iA Writer is for focused markdown writing. - [Utilities](https://www.picmacapps.store/category/utilities) - Utilities are the apps you install once and then forget you installed, right up until you use a Mac without them. Screenshot tools, disk cleaners, recorders, media players and menu bar oddities all live here. ## Guides - [Best AppCleaner Alternative for Mac (2026)](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-appcleaner-alternative-mac) - AppCleaner is free and only uninstalls an app. Mole is $19 once and also maps the disk.

ByteSweep shows what is using the space and does not uninstall… Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-appcleaner-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 6 min Tags: Utilities, Storage An AppCleaner alternative is only worth it if uninstalling one app is not the whole job. [Mole](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/mole) uninstalls and maps the disk. [ByteSweep](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/bytesweep) does not uninstall for you. AppCleaner, from FreeMacSoft, is free. You drag in an app, it finds the small files that belong to that app, and you delete the ones you tick. The download page has builds for current macOS and for older versions. If that is all you do, a few times a year, you do not need a paid replacement. The page is [freemacsoft.net/appcleaner](https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/). ## What AppCleaner is actually for People search for an alternative when the free app feels too small. They want a picture of the whole disk, or they want caches and old backups gone, or they already dragged an app to the Trash and the leftovers are still there. Those are three different jobs. A cleaner that deletes caches will not walk you through uninstalling Slack. An uninstaller will not tell you that an iPhone backup is the thing filling the drive. ## If you still want to uninstall [Mole](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/mole) uninstalls an app and reviews the leftover files with it. It also cleans caches, draws a map of what is using the disk, and shows live system stats. The site listed $19 once, updates included, a 14-day refund, and macOS 14 or later. That is the closest paid step up from AppCleaner on this shelf, because uninstalling is still in the product. See [mole.fit](https://mole.fit/). [Plumby](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/plumby) is aimed at the leftovers and the bulky stuff: caches, macOS installers, old videos, iPhone backups, and files left after you dragged an app to the Trash. It removes only what you select, and personal files start unticked. The site listed $29 a year or $79 once, and macOS 15 or later. It is the wrong buy on an older Mac. Confirm the price on [plumby.app](https://plumby.app/). ## If the disk is full, not the app [ByteSweep](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/bytesweep) explains what is using the space and waits for you to approve a deletion. The developer says nothing is removed until you say so, and that anything cleaned can be put back for 7 days. The site listed $29.99 once for one computer, a 3-day trial on the Mac, and macOS 14 or later. It does not present itself as the thing you drag an app onto. Use it when the question is "what is this 40 GB," not "how do I remove this app." Read [bytesweep.app](https://bytesweep.app/). ## Side by side | | Mole | Plumby | ByteSweep | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Uninstall an app and its leftovers | Yes | Leftovers after you trash the app | Not the job | | Show what filled the disk | Yes, a treemap | Calls out caches, backups, installers | Yes, and explains each item | | Undo | 14-day refund on the purchase | You choose each item | Restore cleaned items for 7 days | | Price we could verify | $19 once | $29 a year, or $79 once | $29.99 once | | macOS, per the developer | 14 or later | 15 or later | 14 or later | ## Which one to install - You drag in one app, tick its files, and delete them: stay with free AppCleaner - You want that uninstall plus a disk map, in one paid app: Mole - The app is already in the Trash and you are hunting leftovers, caches, and old backups, on macOS 15: Plumby - You want to see what is large before anything is deleted: ByteSweep ## What this page does not claim None of these was tested by uninstalling the same app side by side. "Leftovers" means whatever that developer says it finds, which is not a promise that every support file on the Mac will be caught. Prices are what the sites listed. If they change, the developer is right. ## From the directory - [Mole](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/mole) - [Plumby](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/plumby) - [Bytesweep](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/bytesweep) ## Related - [All guides](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog) --- # Best NotchNook Alternative for Mac (2026) > NotchDodo and Droppy put tools in the notch for $9.99 once. Alcove, already listed here, is the notification island. NotchNook is $15 once or $2 a month. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-notchnook-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 6 min Tags: Notch, Utilities A NotchNook alternative puts something useful in the MacBook notch. [NotchDodo](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/notchdodo) and [Droppy](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/droppy) both list $9.99 once. [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) is the narrower one already on this shelf. NotchNook turns the notch into a small desk: music, calendar, notes, to-dos, a timer, and a tray you can drop files on. Its site lists two prices, $15 once or $2 a month, and says one license covers two Macs. It needs macOS 14.6 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. There is a free trial. Read [getnotchnook.com](https://getnotchnook.com/) before you pay. The $2 plan only stays useful if you keep paying. ## What NotchNook is actually for This is not a menu-bar hider. Lounge and ClearBar, elsewhere on this site, tuck icons away. NotchNook and the apps below do the opposite. They give the black cutout a panel. If your Mac has no notch, ask that question first. Droppy says it still draws an island on a notchless display. This page does not claim the others do. ## NotchDodo and Droppy [NotchDodo](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/notchdodo) is a hover panel for music, timers, the day's calendar, files, notes, and the clipboard. The site calls the $9.99 purchase a lifetime license and says it needs macOS 14 or later. That is a lower one-time price than NotchNook's $15, for a similar list of tools. Confirm it on [notchdodo.com](https://notchdodo.com/). [Droppy](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/droppy) is sold as a Dynamic Island. The developer says that on a Mac without a notch, or on an external display, it uses the island rather than a camera cutout. The site listed $9.99 once, no subscription, and a three-day trial of every feature. It needs macOS 14 or later. See [getdroppy.app](https://getdroppy.app/). The practical split is the screen. If you only use a notched MacBook, NotchDodo is the one whose site lists the music, calendar, files, and notes in one hover. If you also work on a display with no notch, Droppy is the one that says it still has a place to sit. ## Alcove is already on this shelf [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) was added with the Bartender guide, and it is a different cut of the same idea. It is a notch display for notifications and now playing, closer to the iPhone island than to a tray of files and notes. The developer says it needs macOS 15 or later. A price was not on the page when that guide was written, so this one does not invent one. Use it if alerts and music are the whole job. Do not expect NotchNook's file tray. ## Side by side | | NotchDodo | Droppy | Alcove | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | What the notch holds | Music, timer, calendar, files, notes, clipboard | A Dynamic Island; the site does not itemize every tool | Notifications and now playing | | No notch | Not claimed here | Yes, including external displays | Not claimed here | | Price we could verify | $9.99 lifetime | $9.99 once, 3-day trial | Not listed | | macOS, per the developer | 14 or later | 14 or later | 15 or later | ## Which one to install - You want the file tray, notes, and calendar, and you will pay NotchNook's $15 or $2 a month: stay with NotchNook - You want that kind of tool list for $9.99 once, on a notched MacBook: NotchDodo - You also use a monitor or a Mac with no notch: Droppy - You only want notifications and the current song: Alcove ## What this page does not claim These apps were not lined up on the same Mac. Feature lists are what each developer publishes, and prices move. NotchNook's site is the place to confirm the $15 and $2 figures. If a page disagrees with this guide later, believe the developer. ## From the directory - [ClearBar](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clearbar) - [Lounge](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/lounge) - [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) - [NotchDodo](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/notchdodo) - [Droppy](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/droppy) ## Keep reading - [Best Bartender Alternative for Mac (2026)](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-bartender-alternative-mac) - ClearBar and Lounge hide menu bar icons.

Pick a Bartender alternative by the job, not by one winner. ## Related - [All guides](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog) --- # Best Paste Alternative for Mac (2026) > Tucket, Clippio, and Maclip keep clipboard history on the Mac and charge once. Paste syncs to iPhone and iPad, and its plans renew. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-paste-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 6 min Tags: Clipboard, Utilities A Paste alternative on this shelf is a clipboard history that stays on the Mac. [Tucket](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/tucket), [Clippio](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clippio), and [Maclip](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/maclip) each charge once. None of them claim to sync an iPhone. Paste saves what you copy, lets you search it, and pins the bits you reuse. Its pricing page lists $2.49 a month or $29.99 a year, and a 7-day trial. Every plan includes the Mac, iPhone, and iPad apps. A pay-once lifetime plan exists on that page. The dollar amount did not show up in the page text, so this guide does not quote it. Check [pasteapp.io/pricing](https://pasteapp.io/pricing). ## What Paste is actually for If the thing you will miss is copying on the Mac and pasting on the iPhone, stay with Paste. The three apps below do not offer that. They are for the other complaint: a subscription for a history that never leaves the computer. - You paste on an iPhone or iPad as well as a Mac: Paste - You only need the Mac, and you want one payment: Tucket, Clippio, or Maclip - You want the history in the notch: Tucket - You want several clips pasted in a row, and password apps ignored: Maclip ## History that stays on the Mac [Tucket](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/tucket) opens from the MacBook notch and sorts copies by type. The last ten clips can be pasted with a shortcut, without opening the panel. The developer says nothing you copy leaves the Mac. The site listed $10 once, with $15 shown as the regular price, and macOS 14 or later. See [trytucket.com](https://www.trytucket.com/). [Clippio](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clippio) is a menu-bar history with search, pins, and text recognition on images you copied. The developer says it stays on the device and does not sync to a cloud. The site listed $6.90 once and macOS 13 or later. That is the lowest price of the three. Confirm it on [clippio.siliconapps.dev](https://clippio.siliconapps.dev/). [Maclip](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/maclip) encrypts the history on the Mac. The developer says clips are not uploaded, that apps such as 1Password and Bitwarden are ignored, and that you can paste several clips in order. The site listed $9.99 once for up to two Macs, a 7-day trial, and macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. Read [maclip.cc](https://www.maclip.cc/). Tucket is the notch. Clippio is the smaller bill. Maclip is the one that talks about encryption and about not saving passwords. All three say the history stays on the Mac. Paste's reason to exist, on its own pricing page, is the other devices. ## Side by side | | Tucket | Clippio | Maclip | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Where it opens | The notch | Menu bar and a shortcut | Search, with paste-in-order | | Leaves the Mac? | Developer says no | Developer says no cloud sync | Developer says not uploaded | | iPhone | Not claimed | Not claimed | Not claimed | | Price we could verify | $10 once, $15 shown as regular | $6.90 once | $9.99 once, up to two Macs | | macOS, per the developer | 14 or later | 13 or later | 13 or later | ## Which one to install - You copy on the Mac and paste on the iPhone: stay with Paste - You want the history in the notch and one payment: Tucket - You want the lowest one-time price on this list: Clippio - You want encryption called out, and password apps skipped: Maclip ## What this page does not claim These apps were not timed against Paste, and Paste's lifetime price is not quoted because it was not in the pricing-page text. History limits, if an app caps them, were not compared. If a price page changes, use the developer's number. ## From the directory - [Tucket](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/tucket) - [Clippio](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clippio) - [Maclip](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/maclip) ## Related - [All guides](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog) --- # Best Screen Studio Alternative for Mac (2026) > Screen Charm and ScreenToast zoom after you record. Boom skips the editing timeline. Better Shot is the free recorder already on this shelf. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-screen-studio-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 7 min Tags: Screen recording, Demos A Screen Studio alternative is a recorder that makes a demo look edited. [Screen Charm](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screen-charm) and [ScreenToast](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screentoast) add the zoom after you stop. [Boom](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/boom) never opens a timeline. Screen Studio records the screen, the camera, and the audio, then animates zooms and smooths the cursor so a product demo does not look like a raw capture. Its site says new licenses are a subscription, and that the old one-time license is no longer sold to new buyers. A current dollar price was not on the homepage. Check [screen.studio](https://screen.studio/) before you pay. ## What Screen Studio is actually for People looking for a Screen Studio alternative usually want the zoom, not a blank recording. The click should pull the frame in, and the cursor should stop jittering. If you only need a file of the screen with no effects, the built-in macOS recorder is enough, and so is a simpler app. If you need a phone in the shot, that is a different tool and it is not on this list. ## Zoom after you record [Screen Charm](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screen-charm) records the full screen, one window, or an area, plus camera, microphone, and system audio. When the recording ends, it puts a zoom on each click. You can change the zoom or delete it. The site listed $99 once, with $149 shown as the regular price, and said there is no subscription. macOS 14 or later is recommended. Confirm the price on [screencharm.com](https://screencharm.com/). [ScreenToast](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screentoast) is the same kind of recorder, and it goes one step further: it can write a script from what you did on screen and read that script aloud. Zooms land on the clicks. The site listed Pro at $7 a month, or $59 for the year, and said you need Pro to export. It needs macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. See [screentoast.com](https://screentoast.com/). Between those two, the split is the voiceover and the bill. Screen Charm is a one-time purchase and leaves the narration to you. ScreenToast will draft the narration and then charge a subscription if you want the file out. ## Boom, if you do not want a timeline [Boom](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/boom) records and also presents live, with layout changes and zoom while you are talking. The developer says there is no editing timeline. You trim, then export. It is aimed at calls such as Zoom and Meet as well as a recording. The site offers a free trial and did not list a price. It needs macOS 13 or later. Check [boomvideo.app](https://www.boomvideo.app/). Pick Boom if the Screen Studio step you wanted to skip is the edit, not the zoom. Do not pick it if you wanted to adjust every click zoom after the fact. That control is what Screen Charm keeps. ## Better Shot is already on this shelf [Better Shot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/better-shot) is the free recorder from the CleanShot guide. It records the screen and the camera, and the developer says it can add auto-zoom, with no account and no watermark. It needs macOS 14 or later. It is the one to try before paying $99 or starting a subscription. It is not a dedicated demo studio, and this page is not a timed comparison against Screen Studio. ## Side by side | | Screen Charm | ScreenToast | Boom | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | When the zoom happens | After the recording, on each click | On each click, plus a drafted voiceover | While you present or record | | Timeline | You can tweak each zoom | Export needs Pro | No editing timeline | | Price we could verify | $99 once, $149 shown as regular | $7 a month, or $59 a year | Free trial; price not listed | | macOS, per the developer | 14 or later recommended | 14 or later | 13 or later | ## Which one to install - You want click zooms you can edit, and you would rather pay once: Screen Charm - You want those zooms and a narration written from the recording: ScreenToast - You present live and do not want a timeline afterward: Boom - You want to see if a free recorder is enough: Better Shot ## What this page does not claim None of these was timed against Screen Studio, and this page does not know Screen Studio's current monthly price. The split is what each developer says the app does, checked on their sites. If a price changes, the developer is the source to trust. ## From the directory - [Better Shot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/better-shot) - [Screen Charm](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screen-charm) - [ScreenToast](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screentoast) - [Boom](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/boom) ## Keep reading - [Best CleanShot X Alternative for Mac (2026)](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-cleanshot-x-alternative-mac) - Shottr is the screenshot tool, with scrolling capture and OCR.

Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-cleanshot-x-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 7 min Tags: Screenshots, Utilities A CleanShot X alternative depends on the shot you need. [Shottr](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/shottr) is the screenshot tool. [Better Shot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/better-shot) also records. [DejaShot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/dejashot) does neither. It searches shots you already have. CleanShot X is the suite people mean when they say "screenshot app": capture, annotation, scrolling pages, screen recording, and a cloud link. On its pricing page, Basic was $35 once, with a year of updates and 1 GB of cloud, then an optional $19 a year. Pro was $10 per user a month, billed annually, with unlimited cloud. Read [cleanshot.com/pricing](https://cleanshot.com/pricing) before you pay. The apps below do not all replace that whole list. ## What CleanShot X is actually for If the missing piece is a still image of a window or a long page, you want a screenshot app. If the missing piece is a video of the screen, you want a recorder, and a still-image tool will feel incomplete. If the shots are already in a folder and you cannot find the one with the error message, you want search, not another capture hotkey. ## Shottr, for the screenshot itself [Shottr](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/shottr) captures an area, a window, or the full screen, and it can scroll a page or a chat and stitch that into one image. It also reads text and QR codes, measures distances on screen, and picks colors. The site says it runs on macOS 10.15 or later. It does not advertise screen recording. You can download it free. The purchase page says that copy asks you to upgrade after 30 days. Basic is $12 once, for one person and up to five computers, and a license is required for commercial use. That is a one-time payment, not a subscription. Confirm it on [shottr.cc](https://shottr.cc/). Shottr is the closest swap when CleanShot's cloud and video editor are not the reason you opened it. You are paying, if you pay, for the still image and the measuring tools. ## Better Shot, if you also record [Better Shot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/better-shot) takes the screenshot and the recording. You can mark up a still with arrows and text, and you can record the screen and the camera, then trim the video. The developer says the price is $0, with no account and no watermark, and calls the app open source. It needs macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. See [bettershot.site](https://www.bettershot.site/). This is the one to pick when you wanted CleanShot because it records, not only because it grabs a window. It will not run on a Mac stuck before Sonoma. Shottr will. ## DejaShot is a different job [DejaShot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/dejashot) does not replace the capture button. It reads the text inside screenshots already in the folders you choose, and it notes which app a new one came from, so you can search by what you remember. The site listed $4.99 and macOS 14 or later. Check [dejashot.com](https://dejashot.com/). Install it after you already have a pile of shots and cannot find one. Do not install it expecting a scrolling capture or a recorder. ## Side by side | | Shottr | Better Shot | DejaShot | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Job | Take and measure a screenshot | Screenshot and screen recording | Search screenshots you already took | | Scrolling capture | Yes | Not what the site leads with | No | | OCR | On the capture | Not the reason to install it | On the files in your folders | | Recording | No | Yes, plus a video editor | No | | Price we could verify | Free download; $12 once for Basic | $0, per the developer | $4.99 | | macOS, per the developer | 10.15 or later | 14 or later | 14 or later | ## Which one to install - You want scrolling screenshots, OCR, and a ruler, and you do not need a recorder: Shottr - You want capture and recording in one free app, on macOS 14 or later: Better Shot - The screenshot already exists and you cannot find it: DejaShot - You want CleanShot's cloud sharing and team controls specifically: none of these three claim to replace that ## What this page does not claim These apps were not timed against CleanShot X. The table is what each developer says the app does, and the prices listed on their sites when this was written. If a price page changes, the developer is right and this paragraph is stale. ## From the directory - [Shottr](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/shottr) - [Better Shot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/better-shot) - [DejaShot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/dejashot) ## Related - [All guides](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog) --- # Best Wispr Flow Alternative for Mac (2026) > HoldSpeak and Precis dictate on the Mac and say the audio stays there. Voicera streams it, then deletes it. MacWhisper is for recordings, not typing. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-wispr-flow-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 7 min Tags: Dictation, Privacy A Wispr Flow alternative is a dictation app: you talk, and the text lands where the cursor already is. [HoldSpeak](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/holdspeak) and [Precis](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/precis) say that happens on the Mac. [Voicera](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/voicera) sends the audio out. Wispr Flow does that job across Mac, Windows, and phones. On its pricing page, the free plan included 2,000 words a week on desktop, and Pro was listed at $12 per user a month. Check [wisprflow.ai/pricing](https://wisprflow.ai/pricing) before you treat that as the bill. This page does not claim to know whether Wispr keeps the audio on your Mac. The apps below are clearer about that. ## What Wispr Flow is actually for People searching for a Wispr Flow alternative usually want to stop typing in email, chat, and notes. They do not want a separate window where they drop an audio file. If the recording already exists, that is a transcription app, and it is the last section of this guide. - Text should appear in the app you already have open - You care whether the audio leaves the Mac - You would rather pay once than subscribe - You are transcribing a meeting file you already have: skip to MacWhisper ## On the Mac: HoldSpeak and Precis [HoldSpeak](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/holdspeak) uses a key you hold, then types into the Mac app under the cursor. The developer says recording and transcription stay on the device, that your voice is not uploaded, and that there is no account. It needs Apple silicon and macOS 14.6 or later. There is a 7-day trial, then a one-time payment. The site did not show a dollar amount when this was written. Read [holdspeak.com](https://holdspeak.com/) before you pay. [Precis](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/precis) is the same kind of tool, with a tighter system requirement. The developer says speech recognition runs on the Mac, that no audio is sent to a server, and that the recording is deleted once the words are typed. The site listed a founding price of $19, then $29, paid once, and said the app needs macOS 26.5 on Apple silicon. Confirm both on [myprecis.app](https://myprecis.app/). If both will run on your Mac, the practical difference is the system version and whether you want Precis to reshape the sentence for the app you are in. HoldSpeak is the one that still claims to run on macOS 14.6. Precis, as listed, will not. ## Voicera, which sends the audio out [Voicera](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/voicera) also types into the app you are using. It does not make the on-device promise. The privacy note says audio streams to speech recognition while you talk and is gone once the text comes back. No recording is kept, according to that page. A free plan was listed at 500 words a week. Pro was listed at $12 a month, or $5 a month on the yearly plan. See [voicera.app](https://voicera.app/). Choose Voicera if a free weekly cap is enough to try dictation, or if you are fine with audio leaving the Mac for the length of the sentence. Do not choose it because you wanted offline dictation. The page we checked does not say it works offline. ## MacWhisper is a different job [MacWhisper](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/macwhisper) is already on this shelf, and it is the wrong install if you wanted Wispr Flow. It turns audio and video files, and recordings you make in the app, into text. That is useful for a meeting you already captured. It is not the same as holding a key in Mail and having the sentence appear. People mix the names up because both sit near "Whisper." The jobs are not the same. ## Side by side | | HoldSpeak | Precis | Voicera | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Job | Type where the cursor is | Type where the cursor is | Type where the cursor is | | Audio, per the developer | Stays on the Mac | Stays on the Mac | Streams out, then is not kept | | Price we could verify | Pay once; dollar amount not listed | $19 founding, then $29, once | Free 500 words a week; Pro from $12 a month | | Mac, per the developer | Apple silicon, macOS 14.6 or later | Apple silicon, macOS 26.5 | macOS 15 or later | ## Which one to install - You want dictation that the developer says never uploads audio, and your Mac is older than macOS 26: HoldSpeak - You are on macOS 26.5 or later and want the same on-device claim, paid once: Precis - You want to try dictation free, and you accept that audio is streamed: Voicera - You have a recording to transcribe, not a cursor to fill: MacWhisper ## What this page does not claim Nobody on this page was timed against Wispr Flow. The split is what each developer says about the job, the audio, the price, and the macOS version, checked on their sites. Those numbers move. If a pricing page disagrees with this guide later, believe the developer. ## From the directory - [MacWhisper](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/macwhisper) - [HoldSpeak](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/holdspeak) - [Precis](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/precis) - [Voicera](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/voicera) ## Related - [All guides](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog) --- # Best Bartender Alternative for Mac (2026) > ClearBar and Lounge hide menu bar icons. Alcove uses the notch instead. Pick a Bartender alternative by the job, not by one winner. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-bartender-alternative-mac Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 6 min Tags: Menu bar, Utilities There is no single best Bartender alternative. [ClearBar](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clearbar) and [Lounge](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/lounge) hide menu bar icons. [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) does a different job: it uses the notch. Bartender is the app people install when third-party icons crowd the menu bar, and when the MacBook notch covers the ones at the edge. The three apps below are the ones on this shelf that get mentioned for that problem. They are not the same kind of tool. ## What you are actually replacing Bartender's job is small. It tucks menu bar icons away and lets you open them again. If that is the annoyance, you want a hider. If the annoyance is that notifications and music have nowhere to sit, you want something in the notch. Buying a notch toy will not tidy a bar full of icons. - Too many icons, and you still want each menu one click away: a hider - Icons disappearing under the notch: a hider that knows the notch is there - Notifications, music, and battery as a small island: a notch display, not a hider ## Hiding icons: ClearBar and Lounge [ClearBar](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clearbar) hides third-party menu bar icons and leaves Apple's own items in place. Hidden apps sit in one panel. From that panel you can open an app's menu, see its memory use, or quit it. The developer says it runs on macOS 26 or 27, and only on Apple silicon. The site listed a launch price of $5, then $12, paid once. That number will move, so read [clearbarmac.app](https://clearbarmac.app/) before you pay. [Lounge](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/lounge) also hides and shows menu bar icons. Hover near the notch and a panel opens with the hidden icons and the ones still on the bar. Clipboard history is in that panel. The developer says it needs macOS 26 or later. The site did not list a price when this page was written. Check [bartendermacoslounge.com](https://www.bartendermacoslounge.com/) for the current one. Between those two, the split is the panel. ClearBar is a list of hidden apps with memory and quit. Lounge is a notch-side panel that also keeps clipboard history. If your Mac is not on macOS 26, neither one is an option, according to their own sites. ## The notch: Alcove [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) is not a Bartender stand-in. It turns the notch into a small display for notifications, now playing, and status, closer to the iPhone Dynamic Island than to a menu bar manager. The developer says it needs macOS 15 or later, which is a wider net than ClearBar or Lounge. A price was not on the page we checked. See [tryalcove.com](https://tryalcove.com/). Install Alcove if the menu bar is already fine and the empty notch is the thing bothering you. Do not install it expecting your Dropbox and VPN icons to disappear. ## Side by side | | ClearBar | Lounge | Alcove | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Job | Hide menu bar icons | Hide menu bar icons | Notch display | | Where the hidden stuff goes | One panel, with memory and quit | A panel by the notch, plus clipboard history | The notch itself | | macOS, per the developer | 26 or 27, Apple silicon | 26 or later | 15 or later | | Price we could verify | $5 launch, then $12, paid once | Not listed on the site | Not listed on the site | ## Which one to install - You want the bar clean and a panel that can quit a heavy app: ClearBar - You want the bar clean and you already live near the notch, or you want clipboard history there: Lounge - You want notifications and music in the notch, and the icons can stay: Alcove - Your Mac is on something older than macOS 26 and you only need icons hidden: none of the hiders on this shelf qualify ## What this page does not claim This is not a timed test, and it is not a claim that one app is best for every Mac. The split above is taken from what each developer says the app does, checked against their sites. Prices and system requirements change. If those pages disagree with this guide later, the developer is the one to trust. ## From the directory - [ClearBar](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clearbar) - [Lounge](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/lounge) - [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) ## Related - [All guides](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog) --- # Best Logseq Alternative for Networked Notes (2026) > Anytype is the Logseq alternative for private, structured notes. Compare objects, encryption, and sync with Logseq's markdown outliner before you switch. Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-logseq-alternative-notes Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 7 min Tags: Notes, Privacy [Anytype](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/anytype) is the Logseq alternative for people who want notes stored as objects, not only as an outline, and who want encryption without setting it up themselves. Logseq is the better fit when the work is a daily outline in plain files. Anytype is the better fit when those notes need fields, links between types of things, and sync that is encrypted by default. This page is a comparison, not a ranking of every notes app. ## When a Logseq alternative makes sense Logseq is already a strong outliner. People usually look past it for a specific gap, not because the outliner is broken. A switch is worth it if you need: - A note that has fields, such as author or status, instead of only bullets - Encryption that is on without a separate setup step - Sync between your own devices that does not depend on a folder you manage - Relations between notes, such as a book linked to a person - A layout that is closer to a database than to a journal If none of those are the problem, Logseq does not need replacing. ## What Logseq is for Logseq is a free, open-source outliner. Notes live as Markdown or Org files on your Mac. Pages link to each other, and a graph is built from those links, often starting from a daily note. That file-based setup is the point: you can open the same text in another editor, and you can sync the folder with git or iCloud yourself. Official sync, if you want it, is a separate paid service. It is a poor match if you wanted each note to be a record with typed fields. You can fake that with properties, but the app is still an outliner. ## What Anytype changes [Anytype](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/anytype) keeps notes on the device first, then syncs them peer-to-peer. A note can be an object with a type. A book can have an author field and a status, and that author can be its own object. The app is free to start. Paid plans add remote storage and sharing limits, so check [current prices on anytype.io](https://anytype.io/pricing) before you pay. The desktop code is published under the Any Source Available License. That is not the same as Logseq's open-source license, so do not treat Anytype as a drop-in open-source project. ## Logseq and Anytype, side by side | | Anytype | Logseq | | --- | --- | --- | | Shape of a note | Object with fields and relations | Outline of bullets | | Encryption | On by default | Not on unless you add it | | Sync | Peer-to-peer, included | Your own files, or paid Logseq Sync | | Files you can open elsewhere | Export, not the live format | Markdown or Org on disk | | License | Source-available | Open source | | Price | Free to start; storage plans are paid | App is free; official sync is paid | | Best fit | Private notes with structure | Daily outline and a graph | ## Stay with Logseq if - You write in bullets and a daily journal - You want the notes as plain files in a folder - You already sync that folder with git or iCloud - You use the graph as the way you find old notes - You want an open-source app specifically ## Switch to Anytype if - You want a book, a person, and a project to be different kinds of notes - You want those notes linked by a relation, not only by a wiki-style link - You want encryption without a setup step - You want sync between devices without running your own folder sync - You are fine exporting if you later want plain Markdown ## The difference that matters The useful difference is the shape of a note. In Logseq, a reading log is a page of bullets: title, then author, then a quote. In Anytype, the same log can be a Book object with those as fields, and the author can be a Person object you reuse on the next book. If you will not use fields and relations, you are paying complexity for a feature you will not open. ## Which note fits which app | Job | Use | | --- | --- | | Daily journal and a graph of pages | Logseq | | Reading list with author and status fields | Anytype | | Notes you must open as .md in another app | Logseq | | Notes you want encrypted on every device you add | Anytype | The other guide on this site is [the iA Writer comparison for people leaving Ulysses](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-ulysses-alternative-writing).

Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-ulysses-alternative-writing Last updated: 2026-10-25 Published: 2026-10-25 Read: 7 min Tags: Writing, Markdown [iA Writer](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/ia-writer) is the Ulysses alternative for people who want a Markdown file and a quiet page, bought once on the Mac, instead of a writing library on a subscription. Ulysses is the better fit when one library has to hold many projects, with goals and publishing built in. iA Writer is the better fit when the draft itself is the whole job. This page compares those two jobs. It does not claim one app is better at everything. ## When a Ulysses alternative makes sense Ulysses is a full writing app for Apple devices. People look for something else when the library, or the subscription, is the part they do not want. A switch is worth it if you need: - A page that gets out of the way of the sentence you are writing - A Markdown file in a folder, not only inside an app library - A Mac purchase you pay once, rather than a subscription - The same kind of editor on Windows, not only on Apple devices - Less organization around the draft If you live in the library, sheets, and publishing tools, Ulysses is doing the job you bought it for. ## What Ulysses is for Ulysses is a Markdown writing suite for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Projects sit in one library. You can set a writing goal, keep notes beside a draft, and publish from the app. Sync stays inside Apple's ecosystem. The app is sold as a subscription, so the cost continues after the first year. Check the developer's current price before you subscribe. This page does not quote it, because that number changes. ## What iA Writer changes [iA Writer](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/ia-writer) is a Markdown editor. Focus mode dims every sentence except the one you are in. The file is plain text you can keep in any folder. The Mac version is a separate purchase from the iPhone and iPad version, and from Windows. On the [developer's buy page](https://ia.net/writer/get/buy), the Mac app was listed at $49.99. Confirm that before you pay. A purchase covers the current version; major upgrades can cost extra later. ## Ulysses and iA Writer, side by side | | iA Writer | Ulysses | | --- | --- | --- | | Main job | The sentence in front of you | A library of projects | | Files | Markdown in a folder you choose | A library the app manages | | Devices | Mac, Windows, iPhone, and iPad, sold separately | Apple devices | | Goals and publishing | Light | Built in | | Price | One-time purchase per platform | Subscription | | Best fit | A focused draft | Many projects in one place | ## Stay with Ulysses if - You keep many articles or chapters in one library - You use writing goals and publishing from the same app - You work only on a Mac, iPhone, and iPad - You want sheets, keywords, and filters around the draft - A subscription is an acceptable way to pay for that library ## Switch to iA Writer if - You want the current sentence highlighted and the rest dimmed - You want the draft as a Markdown file you can move - You also write on Windows - You would rather pay once per platform than subscribe - You do not need a built-in publishing pipeline ## The difference that matters The useful difference is where the draft lives. In Ulysses, a chapter is an item in the library, with a goal count beside it. In iA Writer, the same chapter is a Markdown file in a folder, and focus mode fades the sentences you are not writing. If you will miss the library, iA Writer will feel empty. If the library was the part you were avoiding, that emptiness is the feature. ## Which draft fits which app | Job | Use | | --- | --- | | One essay, written in a single sitting | iA Writer | | A book split across many sheets, with a daily word goal | Ulysses | | A file you will edit later in another Markdown app | iA Writer | | Publishing to a blog from the writing app | Ulysses | The other guide on this site is [the Anytype comparison for people leaving Logseq](https://www.picmacapps.store/blog/best-logseq-alternative-notes).

Reference piles up, exports scatter across folders, and a surprising share of the day goes to finding a file you already made. The apps in this category cover that surrounding work on macOS. Each one is here because it does a specific job well, not because it has the longest feature list. Open any app for its pricing, a full description, and a link straight to the developer's own site. ## What to look for - File format support — check it handles what you actually ship, from Figma and Sketch exports to PSD, SVG and RAW, without a conversion step in between. - Offline search — an asset library is only useful if you can find things in it without waiting on a sync to finish. - Annotation speed — screenshot tools vary enormously in how fast you can arrow, blur and label something before sending it. - Licensing — one-time licences are still common in this category, so check before you commit to another subscription. ## 2 design apps - [Shottr](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/shottr) - Screenshots, scrolling capture, OCR, and a screen ruler. - [ScreenToast](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screentoast) - Demo recorder with click zooms and drafted narration. ## Related - [All apps](https://www.picmacapps.store/) --- # Developer Tools Mac Apps > A Mac development setup is mostly small tools that each remove one daily annoyance: exposing localhost to a webhook, seeing what is really eating the… Canonical: https://www.picmacapps.store/category/developer-tools A Mac development setup is mostly small tools that each remove one daily annoyance: exposing localhost to a webhook, seeing what is really eating the CPU, getting back the snippet you copied an hour ago. This category collects the ones worth the install. Everything listed runs natively on macOS, Apple Silicon included, and links straight to the developer's own site. ## What to look for - Native or Electron — native apps launch faster and cost far less battery, which matters for anything that sits in the menu bar all day. - Apple Silicon builds — look for a universal or arm64 binary rather than something running under Rosetta. - Data handling — for AI clients and clipboard managers, check whether history stays on device and whether you can bring your own API key. - Pricing model — several tools here are one-time purchases and a few are open source, so a subscription is worth questioning. ## 1 developer tools apps - [Helumi](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/helumi) - More space for your Mac, without buying a new one.

Anytype is for structured, encrypted notes. iA Writer is for focused markdown writing. Open either app for a short description and a link to the developer's own site. Prices change, so the pricing label is the model, not a receipt. ## What to look for - Where the data lives — notes and transcripts are personal, so check for local storage or your own iCloud rather than someone else's server. - Export — if you cannot get your text out as Markdown or plain files, changing your mind later gets expensive. - Weight — an app you want running all day should be measured in tens of megabytes, not hundreds. - Subscription or one-time — this category has plenty of both, and the one-time options are often the better deal over a few years. ## 6 productivity apps - [Anytype](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/anytype) - Local-first notes as typed objects, with encryption and peer-to-peer sync. - [iA Writer](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/ia-writer) - A focused markdown editor sold as a one-time purchase on the Mac. - [HoldSpeak](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/holdspeak) - Dictation into any Mac app, on the device, paid once. - [Precis](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/precis) - On-device dictation that types where the cursor is. - [Voicera](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/voicera) - Dictation into any app, with a free weekly cap. - [Clippio](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clippio) - On-device clipboard history, paid once. ## Related - [All apps](https://www.picmacapps.store/) --- # Utilities Mac Apps > Utilities are the apps you install once and then forget you installed, right up until you use a Mac without them.

It is the largest category on the site, largely because the versions built into macOS are usually fine but rarely great. ## What to look for - Overlap with macOS — Screenshot, QuickTime and Storage Management already do a version of most of this, so the question is whether the app is meaningfully faster. - Idle cost — a utility that sits in the menu bar should be close to invisible in Activity Monitor. - Permissions — screen recording and full disk access are powerful, so prefer notarized apps that explain each prompt. - Recent updates — check something shipped in the last year, because abandoned utilities tend to break with every macOS release. ## 15 utilities apps - [MacWhisper](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/macwhisper) - Quickly transcribe audio files into text on your Mac Editor’s Choice, paid placement. - [ClearBar](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/clearbar) - Hides third-party menu bar icons and keeps them in one panel. - [Lounge](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/lounge) - Hides menu bar icons and opens them from a notch panel. - [Alcove](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/alcove) - A notch display for notifications and now playing. - [Better Shot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/better-shot) - Free screenshots and screen recording, with annotation. - [DejaShot](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/dejashot) - Search the screenshots you already took. - [Screen Charm](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/screen-charm) - Records the screen, then zooms on each click. - [Boom](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/boom) - Screen recording and live presentation, without a timeline. - [Tucket](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/tucket) - Clipboard history from the notch, kept on the Mac. - [Maclip](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/maclip) - Encrypted clipboard history on the Mac, paid once. - [NotchDodo](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/notchdodo) - Music, timers, calendar, and files in the notch. - [Droppy](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/droppy) - A Dynamic Island that also works without a notch. - [Mole](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/mole) - Uninstall apps, map the disk, and clear caches. - [Plumby](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/plumby) - Finds leftover files and large caches you choose to remove. - [Bytesweep](https://www.picmacapps.store/app/bytesweep) - Shows what is filling the disk, then deletes only what you approve. ## Related - [All apps](https://www.picmacapps.store/) --- # Helumi > Helumi: More space for your Mac, without buying a new one.
