Airplane mode
Use this tool to quickly disconnect all wireless connections (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) on your Mac. To activate it, just click the Airplane Mode icon in the toolbar. To turn off Airplane Mode, click the tool again.
Alarm clock
Use this tool to remind you at a specific time with a notification and sound. Simply set the time and day of the week (or days of the week), and the alarm will go off as scheduled. Choose a sound, add a name, and receive a weekly notification. You can click the "Snooze" button to receive the alarm again in 5 minutes.
file
Use Archiver to create compressed archives from your files to save space or easily share multiple files. Archiver has more features than built-in system utilities.
You can create password-protected archives, so only people who know the password can access the archive files.
You can create archives containing multiple files from different locations simply by launching Archive from the toolbar or Finder and dragging files and folders into its window – no need to move or copy files into a single folder.
Barcode Generator
-Code Enter text or URL, select the desired barcode format, and the tool will generate a barcode or QR code image. Copy the barcode to your clipboard or save it as an image file.
reader
Scan barcodes using the built-in camera or import images to identify content encoded with barcodes or QR codes. Links are automatically recognized and can be clicked directly.
Lock the camera
Block the built-in camera so that it cannot be accessed by apps.
Rest time
Improve your productivity and use your breaks as reminders to take regular computer breaks.
Capture an area, screen, or window
Use this tool to take a screenshot of a selected area, a window, or the entire screen. The image file will appear on your desktop.
Clean up the disk
Use this tool to gain more free space and optimize your Mac. Blank Disk scans your system and detects files that can be safely deleted—caches, logs, temporary files, and more. Furthermore, the app can locate large and old files in macOS. Blank Disk doesn't automatically delete files—after scanning your system, you can choose what to delete and what to keep.
Clipboard History
Use this tool to store text and images copied to your clipboard for up to 30 days. You can quickly insert them when needed with just a few clicks. The tool window lists the copied items and shows the applications they were copied to. If you need to quickly find something in your clipboard history, use search or add frequently used items to your favorites. If you don't want copied items from certain applications to be collected, you can pause the tool or add those applications to the exceptions list.
Close the application
Open the desktop or start from scratch. Depending on the option you choose, this tool will minimize all open windows or close all applications visible on the taskbar with just one click.
Video conversion
Use this video conversion tool to play videos in the Videos app on your iPhone or iPad. Simply drag and drop a video, such as your favorite movie or TV show, into the tool's icon or window, and it will be converted.

Do Not Disturb
Use this tool when you want to avoid distractions and focus on the task at hand. When activated, notifications are turned off and Dock animations are disabled.

Many popular video-sharing sites are supported. You can also copy the URL (select it and press Command+C), switch to the Upload Video tool, and paste it (Command+V). The video file is saved in the Downloads folder on your Mac.
Extraction volume
Use this tool to extract all volumes mounted on your desktop, including local removable volumes (such as external hard drives and memory cards), network volumes, and even mounted disk images.
