Setapp turned nine, and our library has grown into a massive collection of incredible tools. While you likely have your favorites, there’s a whole world of apps you might not even know you needed yet. Here are our nine hidden gems ready to transform your workflow.
1. Godspeed: For those who live on their keyboard
If you find the mouse to be a speed bump in your workflow, you’ll love Godspeed. It’s a task manager built for pure velocity, where every single action is a hotkey. It’s snappy, minimal, and lets you organize your entire week without your fingers ever leaving the home row.
2. Paper: A sanctuary for your first drafts
Sometimes the best ideas come when the screen is quiet. Paper is a distraction-free writing app that strips away toolbars and complex menus. It’s just you and a clean digital sheet, making it the perfect spot for focused journaling or getting that first messy draft down.
3. Boom: Look your best on every call
We spend a lot of time in virtual meetings, so why not make them look better? Boom gives you a toolkit to refine your webcam feed, add professional overlays, or even pop in your logo.
4. Smmall Cloud: File sharing with a personal touch
Sending a link is one thing; delivering a professional package is another. Smmall Cloud lets you personalize the download page for the files you share. It’s a great way to keep your branding consistent and make every hand-off feel like a premium experience.
5. Clarity: Tune out the world with sound
When your environment gets too noisy to think, Clarity creates a shield. It allows you to mix and match different environmental sounds to build your own focus soundscape. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a quiet library hum, it helps you find your flow anywhere.
6. Manzoni: AI-powered writing that stays local
Want the help of an AI assistant without your drafts leaving your machine? Manzoni runs its models locally on your Mac. You get the brainstorming and editing power of AI, but your sensitive data and private thoughts stay strictly on your hard drive.
7. Moonlock: A simple safety check for your Mac
Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be a mystery. Moonlock scans your system and gives you a straightforward “security score.” It identifies vulnerabilities and shows you exactly how to patch them.
8. Hand Mirror: The one-click vanity check
Want to quickly check your lighting and background two seconds before you join a meeting? Hand Mirror lives in your menu bar and shows a tiny camera preview with a single click.
9. NotchNook: Give your notch a real job
That notch at the top of your screen is usually just dead space, but NotchNook turns it into a functional hub. Swipe down to control your music, check widgets, or use it as a “shelf” to hold files while you move them between windows.
