Burn for MAC
Free, open-source disc burning app for Mac: create data, audio and video CDs and DVDs, and copy discs or disk images.
Burn Overview
Burn is a disc burning app for Mac that keeps things simple while still offering plenty of advanced options. You can use it to put files on a disc for safekeeping, make audio CDs, create video discs to share with family and friends, and copy discs you already have. It works by dropping files into a list for the kind of disc you want, and it converts your audio and video files to the right format for you, with quality and size options in its preferences.
Burn is free and open source under the GPL-2.0 license, and it relies on free tools such as ffmpeg, lame, vcdimager, dvdauthor, spumux and mkisofs. The app's copyright line reads Kiwi Fruitware. Version 3.1.9 is a small release that fixes a crash on Mac OS X 10.9. It is a universal app that runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 10.9 or later. Burn writes physical discs, so you need a CD or DVD writer connected to your Mac to make use of it. If you have only one drive, you can still copy a disc, because Burn saves it temporarily first.

WhatCableUSB-C cables all look alike, but a charge-only USB 2.0 cable and a 240 W, 40 Gbps Thunderbolt cable are very different. WhatCable is a small menu bar app that tells you, in plain English, what each USB-C cable plugged into your Mac can actually do. For every port it shows a clear headline, such as Thunderbolt, display connected or charge-only cable, plus the cable's speed and power rating, the charger's power profiles and the connected device. When your Mac charges slowly, a banner points to the bottleneck, for example a cable rated below the charger.System Utilities- AlDenteAlDente lets you set a charge limit for your MacBook's battery. Instead of always charging to 100%, your MacBook stops at the level you choose, for example 80%, which can help the battery keep its capacity for longer when the Mac is plugged in most of the time. AlDente runs in the menu bar and works with most Apple Silicon and Intel MacBooks. It is made by AppHouseKitchen.System Utilities
DantroleneDantrolene is a menu bar app that stops your Mac's screen from locking while you are on your home Wi-Fi. You choose the home network once from the menu bar; in automatic mode the Mac stays unlocked there, and as soon as you join any other network, normal locking returns. The display still dims and goes dark after your usual idle time, and a touch of the mouse or keyboard brings it back without a password. Dantrolene steps aside when Zoom, a presentation or another app keeps the display awake.System Utilities
