PDF JustFit
Compress, convert and question PDFs on-device
An on-device PDF toolkit for iPhone and iPad. It compresses a document to a target file size, converts between PDF, images and text, and answers questions about a document using a private on-device assistant.
JoyClick
A right-click toolkit for Mac files
A Finder context-menu toolkit for macOS. It puts common file actions — new-file templates, batch rename, quick copy and move destinations, duplicate finding and disk-space analysis — into one right-click menu.
ZipGood
Archive utility with 14 output formats
A native macOS archive utility. It compresses to 14 formats including 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZIP, XZ, Brotli and Zstandard, extracts RAR and other common archives, and supports AES-256 encrypted 7z, ZIP and DMG files.
Neatwise
System cleanup and disk optimisation
A macOS cleaner that scans for system junk, app caches, logs and browser traces, surfaces the largest files on disk, and detects duplicate files and similar photos so each item can be reviewed before removal.
These are first-party apps published by Nuanyue, the publisher of this directory — shown as a product showcase rather than independent editorial picks. Prices are the US App Store prices. Facts last checked . See how facts are sourced and graded →
