OUR FAVOURITES

Take a break and create

Photo, video, music, writing, art – explore it all.

Whether you want to edit family portraits or old holiday videos, make progress on your novel, lay down a new track or turn an idea into art, these apps transform your Mac into a creative hub for turning your dream projects into reality.

For the shutterbug

Make simple image tweaks or dive deep into the details for pro-level edits.

When choosing a shot to edit, Nitro Photo can display up to 16 photos at once, synchronising zooming and scrolling across them – great for comparing fine details in burst shots.

For the director

Turn video into feature movies, social media reels or share-worthy GIFs.

CapCut’s Auto Captions feature automatically generates subtitles in sync with your video.

For the rocker

Record and produce a hit track, mix like a DJ or learn to play your favourite songs.

Try your hand at scratching by simply dragging either of Djay’s virtual records.

For the author

Author a novel or short story, organise your notes, write a screenplay or publish your next blog post.

Ulysses makes it easy to organise projects, chapters, images, notes and more.

For the artist

Create illustrations and animation, design logos or produce product and app mock-ups.

Logoist isn’t just for simple text logos: the app also excels at complex shapes, icons and scenes.
