MangoDisk is a cross-platform disk cleaner and storage analyzer for macOS and Windows. It scans system and user caches, application and browser data, developer-tool and Xcode files, container caches, project build artifacts, and local AI models or caches, grouping potentially reclaimable content while distinguishing rebuildable data from files that may contain personal information. It also finds large files and exact duplicates, analyzes disk usage with treemaps and lists, and supports application removal with related leftovers and startup-item management. Scanning only reads file information; the user reviews recommendations or individual items before cleaning. The repository describes MangoDisk as a desktop application built with Rust and Tauri and lists a system-optimization component for managing settings and background activity.

System Data Unpacked is a macOS menu bar and windowed app that inventories the contents of macOS System Data and lets users review or delete items individually. It uses category-specific storage probes to measure simulator runtimes and devices, Xcode data, package-manager stores, developer tools, logs, virtual machines, Docker data, snapshots, application data, project build folders, and other large folders; a final catch-all probe reports large paths not claimed by another category. Each result includes its measured size, category, safety level, and available reclaim action. Safe items can be deleted, review items are moved to the Trash first, and manual items show the relevant command or settings path. Before deletion, the app displays the exact operations and can batch compatible root actions through macOS authorization prompts. It records scan and deletion history locally, provides filtering, age and growth information, optional low-space and growth notifications, a JSON command-line inventory, and an opt-in weekly automatic cleanup for Safe items. The app makes no network requests except an optional daily GitHub update check, requires macOS 14 or later, and is distributed as a signed and notarized macOS app or through Homebrew. Current versions are proprietary; versions through 0.3.7 remain MIT-licensed.

Screendrop is a native, local-first macOS menu bar application for capturing, annotating, recording, editing, compressing, and sharing screenshots and screen recordings. It captures displays, windows, or selected areas; provides configurable hotkeys and after-capture workflows; and includes a floating preview stack, offline History, non-destructive annotation with redaction and mockup effects, and a recording studio with separate screen, camera, microphone, system-audio, cursor, click, and keystroke data. Recording projects support timeline edits, zooms, reconstructed cursors, camera layouts, captions, transcript-based cuts, social aspect ratios, and reusable style presets. On-device speech recognition provides transcription, karaoke-style captions, filler-word removal, silence trimming, and a notch-native teleprompter. Optional self-hosted sharing uses a Cloudflare Worker, R2, and D1: the Worker authenticates uploads, stores media and metadata, and returns share links for screenshot viewers or Loom-style recording pages with transcripts, comments, playback controls, and scrub previews. Captures, projects, annotation sidecars, and transcripts remain on the Mac unless explicitly uploaded, and there is no central Screendrop account or hosted server. The project is distributed as a DMG or Homebrew cask, requires macOS 26.4 or newer according to its README, and is dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal.

screenpipe is a local AI-agent memory layer that continuously captures computer history on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It records screen frames with OCR, accessibility data, microphone and system audio with transcripts, and application activity, storing the underlying history locally. Agents can search the history through a local REST API, database, or MCP server and use it for tasks such as meeting summaries, follow-ups, and workflow automations. Users can exclude apps, windows, URLs, or time periods and redact sensitive fields on the device; the page describes the project as source-available.

Vorssaint is a free, open-source macOS menu bar toolkit that combines utilities for system monitoring, per-app audio control, app and window switching, window snapping, Dock previews, clipboard history, text snippets, file staging, screen capture, display and energy controls, media tools, cleaning, and app removal. It is designed as a modular collection: users install or remove complete features, and removed features stop loading while their settings are retained for later reinstallation. The toolkit also provides configurable shortcuts, panels, a command bar, and optional bundles for common setups. Vorssaint runs locally without an account, analytics, tracking, subscription, or required network service. The repository documents optional macOS permissions for features such as accessibility, screen recording, audio recording, microphone, camera, calendars, notifications, and disk access, and identifies which functions use each permission. It supports Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, can be installed through Homebrew or a signed disk image, and is distributed under GPL 3.0 or later; the name, logo, and visual identity are covered separately by the repository's trademark terms.
