Top 5 Free and Useful Micro Apps for Mac 2017

1. Skitch

This screen-shooting app from Evernote will help you capture anything on your screen, annotate it, and save the result to your Evernote account or as a standalone image. Skitch is now Mac only, and we’ve discussed it before.

2. Simplenote

This app will help you create and collect quick notes and sync them across all of your devices as well as the web-based app under one account. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the mighty Evernote, but that’s exactly the point.

3. Jumpcut

Jumpcut might be the lightest clipboard manager out there. It doesn’t do anything more than text, but most users don’t need many fancy features. It can hold virtually unlimited entries and provide an easy way to access and switch between them using shortcuts.

4. Calq

If you need fast access to a simple calculator, try Calq. Just press the key combination, crunch the numbers, and then Calq will quickly get out of the way. You can copy and paste the numbers and results between the calculator and other apps.

5. f.lux

If you spend most of your waking hours staring at the computer screen, you will notice that your eyes get tired faster at night than during the day. This app will adjust your screen color to be easier on your eyes during the night time and return it back to normal during the daytime.
