Software Downloads
On this page you will find links to some Mac OS X software that I have found quite useful to me and my clients. The links will open in a new page or tab.
Utility Software
•TinkerTool — this is an application that gives you access to additional preference settings Apple has built into macOS.
•Onyx — maintenance and system tweaking tool. Separate versions for OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) to macOS 13 (Ventura)
Backup Software
•CarbonCopyCloner — this backup utility can create a bootable clone of your startup disk and then incrementally update it on a schedule that you choose. $56.00 CAD with 30 -day free trial.
•SuperDuper — similar to CCC but can also create a “sandbox” for testing new software and updates. (Advanced features require a license – $40.24 CAD).

•OnlyOffice — another substitute for Microsoft Office that opens and saves in identical filetypes as Word, Excel and Powerpoint
•Bean — another free word processor for OS X only, 10.4 or newer
