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.
