The alternatives, in order
-
Pick it if bills and scans pile up in Downloads and you want them renamed and filed automatically.
Set rules once and your Mac renames, files and cleans up downloads on its own, even reading the text in scanned PDFs.
-
Pick it if you move files between folders, apps and Spaces all day and hate holding the mouse button down.
Shake while dragging to open a floating shelf that holds files, links and images until you drop them somewhere.
-
Pick this if you drag files between full-screen apps and want a shelf to park them on.
A drag-and-drop shelf that appears at the edge of the screen so you can park files mid-drag and finish later.
-
Pick it if you move, AirDrop or upload files many times a day and want actions waiting mid-drag.
Start dragging any file and a grid of actions appears, ready to move, AirDrop, resize or upload it in one motion.
-
Pick it if you upload to servers or move files between cloud drives and find Finder slow for that.
2 panes side by side, with servers and cloud drives opened like local folders, for $19.95 once.
-
Pick this if your files are fine where they are but too big to upload or send.
Shrinks screenshots, recordings and PDFs the moment you copy or save them, so files fit under upload limits without extra steps.
-
Pick it if you regularly rename photo shoots, scanned documents or music folders and want to see the result before it happens.
A batch file renamer for Mac with a live preview, $29.95 once.
-
Pick it if you juggle research, client work or writing projects across many apps and files.
Hooks your files, emails and web pages together, so everything for a project is one shortcut away.
When Keka is still the right pick
You keep getting RAR or 7z files that the Mac's built-in Archive Utility can't open.
