I’ve created bookmarks for my favorite podcasts and now it’s easy to tune them in live at my desk, in the shower, or when I’m running.

It’s free for a few stations and a $6 in-app purchase to unlock all functionality. My app of choice on Mac, iOS, and watchOS is Broadcasts.

I frequently listen to live streams of podcasts from Relay FM, The Incomparable, and Accidental Tech Podcast. Since then, I’ve been wondering what other tasks it might be able to help me with-maybe it’s time to finally get that Downloads folder sorted.-D.M. Version 5 of the $42 utility has added a schmancy new interface, support for lists and tables, and more. But this year, I jumped back in when I realized I actually had a good use for it: automatically transferring my hefty podcast files archived to my NAS.

While I used to be a devotee of Hazel, Noodlesoft’s folder automation tool, I’d fallen out of using it in the last few years.

One of my favorite discoveries of this year is the $10 HomeControl Menu for HomeKit, which provides quick access to HomeKit devices from the Mac menu bar-and, via a clever set of automation URLs, quick access to HomeKit from Shortcuts, scripts, and macropads like Stream Deck and Loupedeck.-J.S. Now I’ve got just the information I need, without any clutter.-Dan Moren HomeControl Menu The latest version added the ability to hover over your menu bar to see your hidden icons, as well as a handy Quick Search to access those widgets via the keyboard, and triggers that make icons show up when something relevant happens. I’m not quite sure why I avoided Bartender for so long, but this year the overwhelming number of menu bar icons finally got to me, and I wholeheartedly embraced the $15 menu bar management utility. The app is free during the beta period I have no idea what it’ll cost when it goes final, but whatever it is, it’ll be worth it.-Jason Snell Bartender 4 I’ve switched to Mimestream and couldn’t be happier about it. And it supports Mac interface conventions. Its search is proper Gmail search, fast and reliable.

Neil Jhaveri’s Mimestream is an Apple Mail-style client for Gmail. My dissatisfaction with Apple Mail’s slow operation and unreliable search was what drove me to Mailplane to begin with, and I wasn’t willing to go back there. MimestreamĪfter a decade-plus of using Gmail through the Mac-amplified interface of Mailplane, I had to find a replacement after that app was discontinued. Some of these are new, and others are old favorites that got nice updates in recent months. We’ll start with a category that is surprisingly robust: Mac apps. As we reach the end of the year, it’s time for us to share some of the stuff that we liked this year.
