Kiwi legacy plans going away......alternatives? Stick with it?
Kiwi has an update that they are taking their legacy plans away. I feel salty about having to pay again when I supposedly had lifetime access to the subnoscription that I have that works really well for me.
I deeply do not love the built in mail feature. I have multiple emails I have to manage over both gmail and yahoo, and Kiwi has been great overall. I have been very happy with it for a very long time.
I am not seeing any slam dunk alternatives and wonder what others are doing!

Bloom context menu
In Finder, my contextual menu shows quite a few applications directly, like BetterZip, which lets me perform quick actions. I’ve also added others through the ContextMenu app, which is very convenient for everyday use.
However, in Bloom, the contextual menu doesn’t display any of these applications. Nothing at all. Is there a way to change this, or is it simply not possible?

I made a fast large-files finder + storage map for Mac, and it’s free
Hey everyone, I’m the developer of VaultSort. I just shipped two new space-saving tools and wanted to share them here because the free version now gives you a legit alternative to apps like DaisyDisk and CleanMyMac.
The new update adds a full storage breakdown so you can instantly see what’s taking up space, plus a large-files finder that surfaces huge videos, disk images, old installs, all the stuff that quietly eats your drive. It’s fast, local, and doesn’t require any signup.
These features are completely free right now. If you’ve been looking for a way to reclaim space without paying for another cleanup utility, grab it while it’s still wide open.

Cloudmounter
I use chronosync for backups on my macOS. These are then encrypted with Cryptomator and then transferred to PCloud and Dropbox via Cloudmounter.
I'm now concerned with the settings in Cloudmounter. My storage size on Mac is limited. Now the files on Cloudmounter have a lifespan of 8 hours. Does the setting make sense? I have the feeling that a backup takes a long time if the data is only online. What is the recommended setting regarding file lifespan in Cloudmounter?

New free app to help with often needed app passwords, looking for early adopters and feedback
Hey guys, started tinkering on this in the summer and happy to have Gecky finally released!
Pitch:
I like Apple's Passwords app just fine, it works great for the web. Where it's failed me is the apps that run on my machine, it always requires a bit of digging to get what you want. This app gives you instantaneously the password (or other text content) that you often need for your app with a global keyboard shortcut.
Tech:
\- Passwords are saved in your personal iCloud Keychain, so no worries about them going to 3rd party servers.
\- When you use the shortcut you'll need to authenticate with Touch ID for safety. You can also configure individual entries to not require authentication for even more convenient insertion for some of those less critical passwords.
\- Native Swift / SwiftUI.
\- Sandboxed. No analytics, telemetry or web connections anywhere (apart from the iCloud Keychain mentioned above).
\- Requires macOS 26.0 or newer.
Pricing:
\- Since we're just kicking off the app is available for free at the moment, would be happy to hear your thoughts. If you like it, support the app by leaving a nice review on the Mac App Store.
Available today in Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gecky/id6749769016

Need Cmd + tab alternative
I often have 10 to 15 apps open at a given time, so hitting tab each time to get over to the right app is inefficient.
I'm wondering if there's an app that provides a grid that allows you to go up and down in addition to side to side? I'd love to be able to navigate windows too?
I looked at Witch and its not really what I'm looking for. Also tried Hotkey but the commands haven't stuck. Was thinking of trying rcmd next.
Would love any input from someone who thinks they've figured it out

Program Suggestion: Parallels for one program... Lightweight alternative
I use Parallels for one program. It uses DWGviewer, so it won't work with cross overs.. Trust me I tried everything, including some other wine apps. I just want the absolute lightest program I can run. Cost isn't the issue just want to minimize systems resources.
