This app lets you assign any kind of trackpad gesture to your extra mouse buttons. I have a button navigate Spaces and Mission Control when dragging, just like the three finger drag on a trackpad. I also have the forward button on the mouse to scroll with two fingers on drag, and on scroll, it zooms. Finally, I have the forward and back buttons go forward and back on apps.

Mac Mouse Fix also allows for scrolling options. I like to enable Reverse Direction so the mouse scrolls in the direction it is meant to. And I disable smooth scroll, because I use another app for that.

Mac Mouse Fix can be downloaded [here](https://macmousefix.com) and you can try it out for 30 days, and after that you can buy it forever for just 2.99$ (plus taxes). You should buy the app if you are able to, but Mac Mouse Fix is an open-source app, I forked and modified the source code to skip the license checking mechanism. The fork can be found [here](https://github.com/JCionx/mac-mouse-fix-activated), and even though I don't provide binaries, you can build it yourself by following the simple instructions there.

This app let's you change your external monitor's brightness, as if you were to do it manually. Instead of overlaying a black image on top to dim the display, is uses hardware DDC to control the monitor's brightness directly. It also also let's you change other settings, like contrast, input sources and more.

Alfred is an alternative to Spotlight Search. It's faster, more powerful and more expansible. It offers a free version, but the paid version is what makes a difference. Alfred can be a calculator, a dictionary, a file explorer, a clipboard manager, a color picker, a task manager and so much more.

AppCleaner is a simple app that let's you completely uninstall an app. When you drag an app to the trash, only the app is removed, but not the config and cache files. To fix that just open AppCleaner, drag an app into it, and you can see all files related to that app, to then remove them. You can see in this screenshot that the Spotify app is only around 360 MB, but the hidden files doubles it's size.

Keka is a powerful file extractor application designed for macOS that provides enhanced functionality beyond what is offered by the built-in Finder. Unlike Finder, which supports only a limited range of file formats, Keka can handle a wide variety of compressed file types. One of Keka's standout features is its ability to decompress password-protected files.

Syncthing doesn't have a central server, but is peer-to-peer, no one else has access to your data.
