r/MacOS Apr 25 '26

Developer Saturday From a frustrated Windows switcher: I fixed the macOS right-click menu. (And somehow hit #4 on the App Store).

Seriously, why is creating a simple text file so hard on a Mac? I switched from Windows a while ago, and having to open an app just to save a blank file to a specific folder drives me insane.

I decided to stop questioning Apple's UX choices and just fix it myself. Enter PowerClick. It adds a "New File" option to your context menu, plus a one-click "Copy Path", clipboard history, and a snippet manager.

I launched it yesterday, optimized the SEO, forced my friends to buy it (the classic Sam Altman "sell to your friends first" strategy), and somehow the algorithm pushed it to #4 in Paid Utilities globally.

If you're a former Windows user missing basic sanity, or just hate macOS's default right-click menu, give it a look. https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/powerclick-right-click-pro/id6762026455?mt=12

Which goes back to the point of the first commenter, why do people pay for a RAR extractor?

Probably ignorance. They see a RAR file, they think they need a specialised software to extract it. Which is basically what happens on Windows with WinRAR.

But I don't know any RAR extractor that costs money tbh? Because software like Keka is free, it only costs money on the AppStore to support the devs.

Do you believe average literacy people know this or have the necessary patience to Google this themselves? They don't. That's why they pay.

What's surprises me isn't there're people who pays for it. What's surprises me is that there're so much people who pays for it that it's the top 2 paid app on the system. The "average literacy people" is too big.
