This is a category worth a second look before installing. Many utilities ask for far-reaching permissions — files, clipboard, network or accessibility access — and a good tool often genuinely needs them. What counts is whether the developer explains what for, whether data leaves the device, and what happens when you delete the app again. An honest pricing model helps too, as does asking whether the feature is already built into the system — some utilities sell a setting that sits two levels deep in the system preferences for free.
This list collects what has proved itself for other people. It is ordered by upvotes minus downvotes; the order changes with every vote and nobody adjusts it editorially.
