Free Duplicate File Finder from Nektony - Major Update: New Design + Accessibility Support
**Problem:** macOS has no built-in way to find and remove duplicate files across drives, folders, and Photos Library - they pile up silently and eat your storage.
**Compare:** Most alternatives like PhotoSweeper or Gemini 2 only handle basic file removal. Duplicate File Finder goes further - it lets you compare folders, merge them, and bulk select duplicates by folder, which no major competitor offers. On top of that, many alternatives show false positives or ship with outdated interfaces.
**What's new:**
* Fully redesigned UI for modern macOS
* VoiceOver & Voice Control accessibility support

**Pricing:** Free to download - duplicates scanning works out of the box. Pro unlocks folder merging, similar folder cleanup, bulk select, and file restore (3-day free trial included).
* $7.99/month
* $14.99/year
* $34.99 one-time

**Changelog:**
* Finding and managing duplicates is now faster and easier - with a redesigned interface, improved
* Select by Folders, full VoiceOver support, and better stability.
**AI Disclaimer:** None

FinderTools - The missing power features for your Mac's Finder
Problem Like many of you, I love macOS, but I’ve always been a bit baffled by some of Apple’s design choices. Why can’t we just cut and paste a file natively with Cmd+X? Why do apps stay open eating RAM when you click the red 'X'? I got tired of installing 5 different heavy menu-bar apps just to get basic power-user functionalities. There was no native secure-erase in the context menu, and managing file archives required bulky third-party tools.
Comparison There are other single-purpose tools out there like Command X (which only does cut/paste), the original RedQuitter (which is old and unmaintained), or Keka (for archives). Instead of running 3 or 4 separate utilities in your menu bar eating up memory, FinderTools combines all of these into a single 100% native Swift extension. Zero Electron garbage, negligible RAM footprint, deeply integrated into the OS. It gives you True Cut & Paste, an Advanced RedQuitter, Zero-Fill Secure Erase, a Native Archiver, and Advanced Shortcuts directly into your Finder context menu.
Pricing FinderTools is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, ever. The normal price is $14.99 (Lifetime license, valid for up to 3 personal Macs). 🎁 Early Access: Since I’ve discovered some of my favorite apps on this sub, the first 100 people from r/macapps can use the code First100 at checkout to get it at 50% off forever ($7.50).

I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or let me know if you hit any bugs. I'll be hanging around in the comments!

Menu Bar Charging Utility?
I’m trying to track down a menu bar utility I saw mentioned in a comment here a while back.
The app has a very modern macOS 26 (Tahoe) look and features a unique charging bar in the menu bar. It shows the total incoming wattage, and the bar itself splits to show how much power is going to the battery versus how much is being used by the system in real time.
Does anyone have the name or a link? It looked incredibly clean and I’ve had no luck finding it again. Thanks!

Star Trails and Astrophotography
I'm looking at an app called StarStax but it's not developer signed. My Mac is giving me a warning that it can't open it, and moving it to the trash. The app is referenced by Photopills, Alyn Wallace, and other well regarded sources but I'm not sure if there's another alternative that I could use? I'm pretty wary about using apps that aren't in the App Store or otherwise well supported. Thanks for any thoughts!
I ended up just downloading it and bypassing the security on it. It works. We'll see if its safe or not!
