MediaKit; 152 native media tools in one app, fully on-device, Universal Purchase covers Mac + iPhone. This week 50% off.

Most Mac users I know have a graveyard of utilities for media tasks: Handbrake for video, ImageOptim for images, Keka for archives, Preview for PDFs (until it can't do the thing you need), some web tool for HEIC → JPG, and CloudConvert for whatever's left. Plus the constant low-grade anxiety of uploading personal files to a random website. MediaKit is one app with 152 native tools for video, audio, image, PDF, and archive work, all running on-device via Apple's own frameworks (AVFoundation, CoreImage, PDFKit, Vision, Speech). Drop a file, MediaKit picks the right tool. No uploads. No account. No tracking. It's a Universal Purchase, so the same buy works on Mac and iPhone. Same app, same Pro unlock, every Apple device you sign in with. A few things that matter on Mac specifically: Apple Silicon native. Optimized for M1/M2/M3/M4. RAR v5 extraction runs natively, no x86 emulation, no command-line gymnastics. Menu bar access to every tool. Click the icon, pick a tool, drop a file. Without ever opening the main window. Shortcuts integration, six built-in actions (compress video, convert images, merge PDFs, create ZIPs, extract text, run OCR) you can chain into any workflow. ProRes + HEVC on video. EBU R128 normalization on audio. Vector-preserving PDF edits. The kind of details Mac users actually notice. What's in it: Video: Compress, convert, trim, crop, merge, stabilize, color-adjust. MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, M4V, ProRes, HEVC. 21 export presets (YouTube, Instagram, Discord, broadcast LUFS). Audio: MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, AAC, ALAC. Extract from video. EBU R128 normalization. ML noise reduction. On-device speech transcription via Apple's Speech framework. Image: PNG, JPG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, GIF, AVIF, RAW. Compress, convert, AI upscale, background removal (Apple Vision), OCR, strip EXIF metadata. PDF: Merge, split, compress, encrypt, sign, OCR. Watermarks, page numbers, headers/footers. Side-by-side comparison. Archives: Create ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZIP, XZ, BZIP2. Extract RAR v4 and v5. AES-256 via AppleArchive. Positioning: Not trying to beat Handbrake on Handbrake's strengths, if you're a power user who lives in Handbrake's encoding presets, keep using it. MediaKit is for the person juggling 5 utilities who wants 1, or who's been uploading files to CloudConvert and would like to stop. Same goes for Permute (Permute is excellent for what it does), ImageOptim, Keka, iMazing HEIC Converter, PDF Expert. MediaKit isn't replacing any single one on its strongest dimension; it's consolidating the surface area into one native app. Privacy: Every operation runs on-device. No servers. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. No account. Sandboxed with hardened runtime. Works offline. Files never leave your machine. Free tier: Full 3-day trial of all 152 tools. After that, 5 core tools stay free forever (Video Compress, Image Compress, Image Resize, Audio Convert, PDF Compress). So you can actually try the full app before deciding. Cost.
