Last week I served up three Mac apps that you should know about. If you missed that, here’s a link to that article. This week I have more app that you should know about.
Let’s start with draw.io which is a diagram app that works online and on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I use it for doing network diagrams. It’s simple to use and it has a ton of integrations for third party apps like Sharepoint, Google Workspace and Atlassian Confluence and Jira. Best of all, it’s free and easy to learn. If you do any sort of diagramming, you need to check this app out.
Next up is PortX which is a cross platform SSH client which has a simple but comprehensive UI. Which is handy for those who need to log into things like Cisco routers, switches and NAS appliances. This is another free utility on the App Store and it works really well and makes up for the fact that macOS doesn’t have a similar utility. I am not sure why it only has 2 stars out of 5 on the App Store, but it’s works well for me and deserves a higher rating in my mind.
Finally, let’s talk about Intego VirusBarrier scanner. Now I don’t run an “always on” virus scanner. But I do use this utility to do on demand scans for any viruses or malware. I occasionally trip over something but it’s not a common occurrence. To be honest, I run it more to have some piece of mind that I don’t have anything on my Mac that shouldn’t be there. This too is another free piece of of software from the App Store.
Are there apps that help you to customize your Mac to fit your needs? If there are, please leave a comment and feel free to share them.
