https://imageoptim.com/mac is a good, free alternative to Optimage. I concur, the others are good programs

  Media Key Forwarder for iTunes and Spotify

This is quite obscure, but macmediakeyforwarder is pretty essential for me. Since High Sierra I think, macOS has made it so the media key plays/pauses the last audio source you were using - including web media such as YouTube. I only ever want it to control Spotify, which is what this app does. I haven’t looked at the GitHub pages in ages and just noticed it’s no longer maintained, and the developer suggests using beardedspice as an alternative.
