Scroll Reverser

Think of it like this: To scroll down on your phone, you swipe your finger up on the screen — so I have my Mac Trackpad set to scroll the same way. However, when I use my USB mouse, I want the screen to scroll following the direction of the roller (as most computer mice(?) do!)

You can’t do it through settings alone, so this app allows you to set the scrolling direction for Trackpad, Mouse, and Tablet with a single click.

Being on your computer in the dark isn’t exactly good for you. Blue light in particular is very wakeful! Acting like the Night Shift feature on iPhones, this app adjusts the color of your screen to follow the natural pattern of the sun. It will gradually make your display warmer colors as the sun sets, promoting good sleep and less eye strain. You can enable/disable it straight from your menu bar.

GIPHY Capture

A Screen GIF Recorder

Create GIFs from anything on your screen in seconds. You can even crop and adjust file size, make it play backwards, or add a Boomerang effect! I use it most over YouTube videos or my GBA emulator. Speaking of which…

OpenEmu

Video game Emulator

I’m not sure this is exactly “helpful” but it is fun.

Just download ROMs of your favorite Atari, GBA, NES, and even DS games (my favorite websites are ROMsMania, Emuparadise, and FreeROMs) and get going!

Pro tip: You can connect a Nintendo Wiimote to the emulator  using Bluetooth and use it as a controller! Perfect for hooking up your laptop to a TV for a more authentic feel.

WeDo

An integrated planner for EVERY platform

Organize your Tasks, habits and routines, Bills, Shopping, and Assignments. Great for personal use, but also amazing for family! This is less like a Kanban Board (though if you’re looking for something like that, I’ve got you covered!) and more like the To-Do list on the fridge. The whole family can be connected and assigned to specific tasks. Use subtasks, recurring tasks, and even time estimation to keep everybody on track.

Also available for iPhone, Android, iPad, Apple Watch, and Web Browser.
