Bloom is the Finder replacement for Mac that you didn’t know you needed. With a native macOS-like interface, Bloom features a customizable multi-pane layout with options such as batch renaming, auto-resize columns and a built-in preview pane. It also provides quick shortcuts to optimize, convert or resize images.

I’ve written extensively about Bloom in my review — it made me ditch Finder, and I’m not going back. 

A lifetime license of Bloom for use on up to three Macs costs $16. For Cyber Monday, you can get 25% off with the code “BLACKFRIDAY2025,” bringing the price down to $12.

CleanShot X is one of the most polished screenshot and screen-recording tools available for macOS. It lets you capture anything on your screen, annotate it quickly, blur sensitive details, and even record videos with a built-in camera overlay.

While macOS already features a built-in screenshotting tool, CleanShot X takes things up a level. It offers features and tools you probably didn’t know you needed. These include scrolling capture, instant OCR and cloud sharing. 

CleanShot X is one of those Mac apps that supercharge my productivity. If you create tutorials, share bug reports, or work with visuals daily, it’s a no-brainer.

While a CleanShot X license for a single Mac costs $29, it’s discounted by 30% to $20.30. (There’s a similar discount available on more seats.) Each CleanShot X license includes one year of free updates. If you already paid for the app, you can renew today at discounted prices as well. 

Alternatively, you can buy CleanShot X as part of the Unclutter app bundle at a higher 50% discount

macOS comes with built-in battery protection. But if you want even more advanced control, check out AlDente Pro. It helps extend your MacBook’s battery health by giving you precise control over charging. You can set custom charge limits and switch between protection modes to prevent unwanted wear and tear on the battery. 

There’s also a Calibration mode that helps recalibrate the battery’s readiness to ensure the system properly reads it. And if you use the MagSafe port on your MacBook, AlDente Pro will even let you turn it off or tweak its color to your preferences. 

A lifetime license for AlDente Pro costs $24.99. Thanks to a sweet Cyber Monday discount, you can get it for $19.99. The yearly subscription is also on sale — it drops from $13.59 to $10.87.

Yoink acts as a shelf on your Mac, making it easy to drag and drop files, images or even text snippets around.

Developer Eternal Storms Software released Yoink years ago. And if you’re new to the Mac, it’s one of those apps you should pick up right away.
