If you're running short on cash after Christmas, but you still want to try out some new software, you can try a few of these apps. I've installed and tested them all at some point. The links will take you to a short review with download information. If you find a broken link or an app is no longer free, let me know and I';ll make a quick edit. If you're a developer with a free app, drop me a DM and I will be glad to check out your work and possibly feature you on AppAddict if it has some unique features the community would appreciate. • Permissions Reset 2 - Free Troubleshooting Tool • Zotero as a Free PDF Library Manager • UTM for Virtualization • rclone - An Easy to Use and Powerful CLI • Syncthing - Free and Open-Source Cross Platform File Sharing • Convert CSV Files to Markdown • Hop to Desk, a Free and Open-Source Encrypted Remote Access Solution • One For the Techies - SwiftDefaultApps • Digikam is Replacing Apple Photos, Google Photos and Amazon Photos For Me • Change the Location of Notifications With PingPlace • SmartBackup - Free, Fast and Foolproof • Pareto Security - Quick and Easy • Local Send - Easy to Set Up and Easy to Use • Using Joplin as a Reference Tool • Fmail2 for Fastmail • Stickier - Free Notes App with Power User Features • Cog - Free and Open-Source Local Only Music Player • Privileges - Operate Your Mac Safely • Use KIWIX to Access Wikipedia and Other Resources Offline • Librewolf for Security and Privacy • Metadata Lab - Exif Editor • Battery Monitor Health, Info • Sandkorn - Comprehensive Information on Your Apps • Privacy Badger Extension from the Electronic Freedom Foundation • Libation - Audiobook Downloader and Converter • Captin Solves a Major Mac Annoyance • Shareful - A Free App I Use Every Day • Two Free Apps for Mac OS Installation Eas • Recents App for Mac - A Free Intelligent File Launcher • MarkEdit - A Pure Markdown Editor for Free • Royal TSX for Remote Management • Simplenote - Free, Rock Solid and Dependable for Over a Decade • SingleFile - For Safari and Other Mac Browsers • Ente Auth - The Free Authy Replacement for Your Mac and iPhone • Sloth - Activity Monitor on Steroids • Cronica - A Free, Privacy Focused Media Tracker for Mac and iOS • Free Security Apps for Mac • MacTracker - Can You Call Yourself a Fanboy If You Don't Have This Installed?
