Trickster (was Blast) is a productivity booster application that places all recently used files at user’s fingertips, providing him with a fast and easy access to them.
Trickster keeps track of all the files the user has been recently using on his Mac. With Trickster, all these documents are just one click away. The user can access the file list anytime by clicking on the application icon in the menu bar, and perform multiple actions on the files: open, preview, move and more.
What’s New:
Version 3.9:
Fix launch on log in to be hidden from 10.15 and up
Better reliability of access to watched folders
Fixes system apps not being tracked on Big Sur or later. Automatically add folder to watch system apps, if /Applications is chosen.
Allow dragging a file or a folder to favorites directly from Finder. This still has the limitation that the added files or folders should be already in a
Watchable location. They will be automatically added to list of items, favorited and inserted where dropped.

Video, audio and image files come in many different kinds and shapes, but sometimes you need a specific format since your iPad or DVD player won’t play that video. That is what Permute is for – easily convert your media files to various different formats.
Key Features
Easy to Use – built from the ground up, Permute is a perfect example of what a Mac app should be. With a gorgeous interface and drag & drop simplicity no need for complicated options.
Insanely Fast – Permute was engineered to be incredibly fast. Let us take care of the hard stuff. Just select the video format you want and it’ll be done faster than you can say “hardware acceleration” – MP4 and HEVC presets now take advantage of your machine’s hardware acceleration capabitlities, speeding up HEVC conversions more than 3 times over previous versions of Permute!
PDF Support – Permute 3 now includes support for stitching multiple images into a single PDF.
Everything Included – It doesn’t matter if you’re converting home movies or processing images. Permute can do it all. We support nearly every format and have plenty of device presets to choose from.
Looks Amazing – Whether you use dark mode or not, Permute will look amazing. Taking advantage of the modern technologies, Permute will even change its icon in dark mode.
Keep the Schedule – Video re-encoding is quite demanding on computer resources. This is why you can now schedule Permute to convert videos e.g. at night when you’re not using your computer.
And so much more! – There are so many other great features in Permute – adjust volume of an audio file or an audio track in a video. Batch-resize, rotate and flip images and videos. And more!
Completely Rewritten – Permute 3 was started from scratch – completely new project, everything written from the ground up again.
UI Redesign – the UI has been redesigned from the ground up. It’s faster, more fluent and visually pleasing.
Dark Mode – Permute now works 100% with the dark mode, even adjusting its Dock icon based on your macOS theme.
Image Stitching – Stitch images together into a PDF.
HEVC (H.265) Hardware Acceleration – HEVC (H.265) video encoding now supports hardware acceleration, resulting in conversions more than twice as fast.
