A thanks to some exceptional individuals and organizations
The Ecclectic Light Co
For many things, this truly is a great one. From informative blogs and deep dive's on all things Apple and more,
including new updates etc. To developing no-nonsense free software all with a defined purpose. The utilities are useful,
very lightweight with no junk, don't make any telemetry connections ( we love this) and all 100% free, there's literally
a "Download Menu" which is an entire catalog of free software covering a lineage of mac's throughout the years and still at it.
A wonderful hidden gem, check it out. The Ecclectic Light Co

This individual has been at it since 2003. If you are looking for a 3rd party solution to
perform maintenance on your mac, this is hands down the only one needed, and recommended as well. Covering every single macOS
and Mac OS X operating system version from the current macOS Beta version all the way until Mac OS X Jaguar 10.2.
All freely available to this date, right on the website. All 20 versions are free and still being hosted on the site.
From PPC, Intel, Apple Silicon. Onyx is probably the safest and most useful single utility for performing maintenance,
and additionally covers many customization options for your mac. It doesn't "hack" your mac to provide maintenance or
customizations, meaning it's safe and operating within Apple's frameworks.
Always installed on my macs. Titanium Software
