The current version of App Tamer works fine on the Tahoe betas. That said, I'm working on version 3 with an updated appearance, lots of under-the-hood improvements and a bunch of new features.

A new beta version of Default Folder X 6.2 is available, bringing it into sync with macOS Tahoe 26 beta 4 which was released by Apple yesterday. You can download Default Folder X 6.2b3 at www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolde...

A great discussion of performance vs. efficiency cores in Apple Silicon CPUs, including a mention of App Tamer as a tool for running apps more efficiently.

macOS Sequoia 15.3 is designed to remind you every 30 days that you've given screen recording permission to an app. If you're getting constant reminders, you've run into a bug in Sequoia. See this post for a solution: www.stclairsoft.com/blog/2025/03...

Use that build until the next update of DFX, which will include FileBot support going forward.

FileBot is a Java app. By default, DFX doesn't enhance Java apps because some will crash due to their poor support for the macOS Accessibility API (which DFX uses). Support has to be added on a case-by-case basis. I've now added FileBot - use this build: www.stclairsoft.com/download/Def...

Jettison 1.9 is out! It fixes issues remounting some drives and improves handling of open files, disk images and encrypted volumes. Easily eject and mount drives from your menu bar, automatically eject them when your Mac sleeps, and more! www.stclairsoft.com/Jettison/ind...

One of my favorite apps on my Macs. I’d put it up as a must have, honestly.
