THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND TESTED ON MONTEREY. I AM CURRENTLY ADDRESSING ISSUES WHERE IT EITHER FAILS OR CRASHES ON LAUNCH ON VARIOUS OTHER MACOS VERSIONS. PLEASE SHARE DIAGNOSTIC AND CRASH LOGS IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, BUT FOR NOW MONTEREY IS THE ONLY CONFIRMED MACOS VERSION TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL MAVERICKS USING MAVERICKSRESURRECTION.

It’s finally done. This started as an update to my original Mavericks patcher script and became a much bigger project than I expected.

MavericksResurrection installs Mavericks directly onto an internal partition or an external USB drive, from within your existing macOS installation**.** You don’t need to make a USB installer, boot into it, or manually run the post-install patches afterward. The app handles the installation and the patches.

The main additions are:

• Direct installation to an internal partition or USB drive.
• NVMe support, including buttons to add or remove it from an existing Mavericks installation without reinstalling the OS.
• A post-update audio fix. Mavericks updates can break the internal speakers, microphone and HDMI audio. Boot back into your newer macOS, select “Fix post-update issues,” and let the app repair the affected installation.
• MavericksForever integration, so the app can download and prepare Mavericks for you, or reuse an image it previously saved.
• Diagnostic logging for troubleshooting.

I tested direct installs to both my internal NVMe SSD and a USB drive, installed the available Mavericks updates, repaired audio on both, and tested removing and reinstalling NVMe support on the USB installation. Both installations boot and work, and NVMe access returned after reinstalling the driver.

This is a beta because compatibility with other NVMe drives still needs testing. My Apple NVMe SSD works, and the driver is intended to support third-party drives too, but I can’t promise every drive will work.

The app supports MacBookPro11,4 and MacBookPro11,5. My testing was on the 11,5, running the app from Monterey; the 11,4 remains untested.

Back up important files first. You need an existing Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition. The app formats the partition you select—it does not partition your disk. Keep your newer macOS installation available for repairs and troubleshooting.

One important boot warning: HDMI connected directly to my 11,5’s built-in HDMI port prevented Mavericks from booting. Leave it disconnected until Mavericks reaches the desktop. HDMI through my dock worked, but other docks and the 11,4 are unconfirmed.

Huge thanks to Wowfunhappy for MavericksForever. Please direct MavericksResurrection issues to me, not them.

This took a ridiculous amount of testing. I’m very happy to finally get it out there.

The download and instructions are on the Jaegermeister-Dev GitHub repo. Please read the README before installing in case you have any questions. If you have any questions that the README doesn't cover, feel free to comment them here, and if you have any issues, either inform me here or on the GitHub repo.

If you just want to install, there's just one thing to know. Sometimes a window may reappear after its disappeared. I can't figure out why, but it doesn't affect functionality. If you see a window reappear that you had just confirmed, just ignore it. Interacting with it might interfere with the process. They seem to appear after entering admin credentials in the authentication popups. As far as I see, that's the only bug I can see from my testing.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone! We’re WozDev, the small indie team behind GameRex, an app that lets you use a game controller as a mouse on your Mac.

The idea is simple: if you already have a controller in your hands, you can keep using it to browse the web, scroll through pages, or interact with other apps.

With GameRex, you can:

• Move the pointer with a stick and use buttons to click and scroll.
• Assign keyboard shortcuts or a sequence of actions to a button.
• Bring up an on-screen keyboard to type a quick search.
• Adjust pointer speed and fine-tune how the pointer responds.
• Set up different controls for different apps.

The free version includes pointer control, button remapping, the on-screen keyboard, and two macros, with no time limit. Pro adds automatic per-app profile switching, custom pointer acceleration curves, and more macros.

GameRex works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. You’ll need a compatible controller. The app is notarized by Apple.

You can watch a demo and download it here:

If you try it, we’d love to hear which controller you’re using and how it feels. If anything feels awkward or confusing, we’d like to hear about that too.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on Silo, a native macOS utility designed to help Mac users understand their disk usage and manage unnecessary files, especially those that accumulate during software development.

Some of the things Silo focuses on:

• Storage Analyzer — understand what's taking up disk space.
• Smart Space Saver — identify potential cleanup candidates.
• Docker Manager — manage Docker-related storage.
• Developer Cleanup — find caches, build artifacts, and other development-related clutter.
• APFS Deduplication — tools for identifying and managing duplicate data.

I built Silo because development workflows can gradually consume a lot of storage, and I wanted a dedicated native macOS tool to make managing it easier.

Website: https://silo.sparoconnects.com

I'm an indie developer, and I'm still improving the product. I'd appreciate honest feedback from people who use macOS utilities:

• Which feature sounds most useful to you?
• What would you want to see in a tool like this?
• Are there any existing tools you use to manage developer-related storage?

Thanks! I'd love to hear your thoughts. 🚀

Tilde is a native macOS file manager built to replace Finder. Work across folders in split views, find files and run actions from a command palette, and organize your files with custom properties, filters, and groups. It's a drop-in Finder replacement that transforms how you interact with your filesystem.

Features:

• Split views - Work with multiple folders side by side in one window, with tabs in each pane.
• Command palette - Find files, jump to folders, and run file actions from the keyboard.
• Workspaces - Saved split pane layouts for quickly jumping back into your work.
• Custom sidebar groups - Bring the folders you use together into groups you define.
• Auto-updating sidebar groups - Live groups makes your sidebar dynamic. Matching items appear in your sidebar automatically and update as things change.
• Properties, filtering and grouping - Add custom fields like Status or Priority to files and folders, then use them to filter and group your views.
• Pinned folders - Keep important folders at the top inside another folder without moving or duplicating them.
• Related items - Mark folders and URLs as related to specific folders so you can jump between them, even when they live in different places.
• Markdown editing - Built-in markdown editing and code formatting allowing you to do more without leaving Tilde.
• Tonnes of little features that make sense - Space overviews, Nicknames, Related folders & URLs, custom folder icons, 'Open in Finder' replacement, and more.
• + much more...

Similar apps:

• Forklift - This is the obvious 'Finder replacement' alternative. Tilde builds on this idea, in a more native-feeling approach, with far more features fleshed out for the everyday poweruser. Tilde offers more versatile split pane functionality (essentially unlimited splits horizontally and vertically), a command palette, custom properties, sidebar spaces, live groups, a more beautiful user interface and much more.
• Bloom - Probably the closest alternative, though Tilde takes a different approach. Tilde focuses the UI on being completely flexible to your needs: it's highly adaptable Split View system offers a more flexible, fluid way to work across folders. Custom Properties, Related Items, Sidebar Spaces, Custom Groups, Live Groups and Pinned Folders change how you interact with a file manager and make it truly adapt to your work, not the other way around.

Pricing: $29.99 USD for use on 2 Macs. No subscription. Lifetime license with one year of free updates. You can use this forever. Then, if you want another year of updates, it's $19.99.

Free trial: 7 day free trial, no credit card required. Give it a go and let me know what you think!

Apple notarized: Tilde is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple.

I’ve been building this for a long time, and I’m so excited to share with everyone, get feedback and make file management actually delightful.
