MacToys: fifty Mac utilities behind one menu-bar icon
A native macOS utility bundle combining screenshots, clipboard history, battery tools, audio switching, window controls, system monitoring, and more for a one-time $9.99 payment.
Field notes
MacToys groups its utilities into a single menu-bar interface where tools can be enabled, reordered, searched, and selectively displayed. The page specifies a 100-item clipboard history, an 80% battery charge limit, per-AirPod battery readings, and Keep Awake sessions that can end on a timer or battery condition. Its writing assistant is described as compatible with Ollama on localhost as well as cloud keys, giving users a choice about where text is processed.
