Vienna for MAC
Free, open-source RSS, Atom and JSON Feed reader for Mac, laid out like Apple Mail, with optional sync through Open Reader API services.
Vienna Overview
Vienna is a free news reader for the Mac that follows RSS, Atom and JSON Feed subscriptions. Its layout is modeled on Apple Mail: you quickly scan the summaries of new articles, then open any of them for reading in a simple built-in browser view. Vienna can fetch your feeds directly from the websites you follow, or sync them with an online service that supports the Open Reader API, such as BazQux, so your reading stays in step across devices.
Vienna has been developed for many years as a community project. You can change the look of articles with display styles, and add actions to its menus and toolbar with simple plugins. Vienna is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Version 3.10.8 needs macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later; the coming 3.11 versions will need macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Time to LeaveTime to Leave is a desktop app for keeping track of your working time, laid out much like a time-card system. You log the time you started work, and the app works out when you should leave, taking into account the time you spent on breaks such as lunch, then notifies you when that moment comes. It needs no database setup: you install it and start punching in. You can log your day in a Day view or a whole Month view, and see your running balance of hours.Productivity
ColuracetamColuracetam is a Markdown reader and editor for Mac that shows the same rendered preview everywhere. Press the spacebar on a .md file in Finder and Quick Look shows it rendered in color, and Finder shows generated thumbnails of your Markdown files. Open a file in the app and you get a live split: plain monospace source on one side and the rendered page on the other, with text selection and search that work across the whole rendered document.Productivity
MassReplaceItMassReplaceIt is a find and replace utility for many files at once. You choose the files or folders, type what to look for and what to put in its place, and MassReplaceIt searches either the file contents or the file names, such as changing the extension of hundreds of files in one go. Before anything is written you can preview the changes, and each search gives detailed results. Searches can be saved and used again, filters leave out files you do not want touched, and regular expressions handle patterns that plain text cannot.Productivity
TypeCueTypeCue takes the typing out of screen recordings, tutorials, webinars and live presentations. You write your demo as an ordered list of text blocks. During the take, each press of a global hotkey (Control-Option-X by default) types the next block into whatever field has focus, as real keystrokes at a human pace, with no typos and the same result on every take. Press the hotkey again while it types to stop it.Productivity
