   1 209 22,668 8.4

   Unlock your displays on your Mac! Flexible HiDPI scaling, XDR/HDR extra brightness, virtual screens, DDC control, extra dimming, PIP/streaming, EDID override and lots more!

   

   Interesting, I've never seen a big Github project with only a `README.md` before. It looks like they moved the open source part to a new branch[1], before halting the open development completely (I don't mind, just observing).

   > If the working tree has local modification "-dirty" is appended to it.

   and one can see their invocation of --dirty here: https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/cff5336ec71b6fee396a95bb0e...

4. ubuntu-asahi

   3 19 932 7.1 Shell

   Native Ubuntu installations for Apple silicon hardware

   

5. Rectangle

   4 737 26,488 8.4 Swift

   Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas

   

   Hm, I've been really happy with Rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com) and its shortcuts have become second nature to me, but if the native version is equally keyboard friendly I might give it a go.

   (btw, have you tried Rectangle and if so - what didn't you like?)

   (Not affiliated with it, just a happy user)

6. bclm

   5 8 1,988 4.5 Swift

   macOS command-line utility to limit max battery charge

   

   Just a warning: seems that bclm no longer works.

   https://github.com/zackelia/bclm/issues/49

   I had to start using it because macOS insisted on keeping my battery charged to 100% no matter what I did, and that can damage the battery.

7. ToolsOfTheTrade

   6 6 16,663 0.0

   Tools of The Trade, from Hacker News.

   

   Welcome :) there’s a neat guidelines page if you haven’t seen it: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and endless compilations of old posts, such as https://github.com/cjbarber/ToolsOfTheTrade

8. Ice

   7 11 16,775 9.7 Swift

   Powerful menu bar manager for macOS

   

   Apple locking down the OS even more by making Gatekeeper harder to bypass makes me want to skip this version for as long as possible.

   The screen recording permission thing also doesn't help since I'm using Ice (https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice) because somehow Apple still can't Sherlock this feature.

    I'm probably an advanced translation user, but the possibilities of Easydict is why I stick with it: https://github.com/tisfeng/Easydict

11. Scroll-Reverser

    9 68 2,817 7.3 Objective-C

    Per-device scrolling prefs on macOS.

    

    I mean I use rectangle, and used spectacle before it, and I’m very grateful to the developers for maintaining it and making it available for free, but this really should be part of the OS and I will be very happy to get rid of that app after updating to Sequoia.

    I also use an app that reverses the scroll direction of an attached USB mouse, without affecting the (natural) trackpad scroll direction, because MacOS does not allow changing them independently (looks like they are separate options for mouse and trackpad but they are in fact the same).

    The App is called Scroll Reverser [1] it is free and works flawlessly, but it really should not have to exist, it’s ridiculous.

12. quick-look-plugins

    10 9 18,094 0.0

    List of useful Quick Look plugins for developers

    Looks like the new security has made it very difficult to use third-party QuickLook plugins. I'm messing with qlmanage and xattr now but so far no luck. A starting point: https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins

    I can't know what "-dirty" implies, but https://github.com/jqlang/jq/commit/cff5336 is a pretty random commit from 2022 :-(

    https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... hasn't been updated with a "jq" directory yet

15. RecordingIndicatorUtility

    13 7 351 3.5 Swift

    Use Recording Indicator Utility to turn off the recording indicator on the primary display and external displays not in full screen.

    

    It does lock you out of Apple Pay and 4K streaming of DRM content:

    https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/RecordingIndicatorUtili...

    But that's not so bad I suppose.
