This Week's Top Downloads

Every week, we share a number of downloads for all platforms to help you get things done. Here were the top downloads from this week.

Installing apps is easy on Android. So easy that you can end up with a ton that you don't need over time. Rather than tediously paging through every app to uninstall them one by one, we recommend Easy Uninstaller. This app allows you to uninstall several apps at once, sort them by size, and even clean up any junk files left behind.

Mac: OS X El Capitan and iOS 9 were announced just a month ago, and today the public betas for both are available for everyone willing to dip their toes into the new OS.

Mac: Microsoft released a preview build of Office for Mac 2016 a few months ago and today it's exiting the preview and is available as a finished product.

Mac: Worried that an app might be using your microphone or webcam without your knowledge? Micro Snitch monitors your mic and camera so you know if anything weird's going on.

Mac: If you've been using Apple Music, you know it's not possible to easily import your saved music from Spotify. S.t.A.M.P is an app that uses Automator to make that process a little easier.

Microsoft's MSDN blog is again offering a big batch of free technical ebooks, and this one is the largest collection to date.

Android: Your phone is the hub of all the information you need in daily life. You get notified every time one of the apps you have installed has some important information for you. Hooks aims to fill in the gap, by notifying you of a wide variety of events outside the specific apps you have installed.

Android: YouTube's official app isn't super friendly to your subscriptions. While you can get a list of videos, that's about it. Tuber makes it easier to browse by focusing solely on your subscriptions.

iOS: Amazon's Cloud Drive is a solid alternative to Dropbox. Android users have had access to the standalone app since late June, but iOS users can use it, too, thanks to Amazon's newly released Cloud Drive for iOS.

Your home screen is the first thing you see when you open up your phone. You may as well make use of that space. This home screen design places a subtle news feed on a minimal home screen to keep you up to date without being invasive.
