Best Mac products of the week October 26, 2026

Many Displays

Zero clicks: windows back after sleep, unlock or replugging

Many Displays works quietly in the background, so there is nothing to save, no layouts to name, and nothing to click. It remembers where every window lives, including the display, position, and size, then puts everything back on its own when your Mac wakes up, unlocks, or reconnects its monitors. You grant Accessibility once and forget it is there. It is built for identical monitors that macOS keeps swapping around, and it can tell them apart even by the port they are plugged into. No cloud, no account, just a one-time $19 payment and a 14-day free trial.

sideOS.ai

Local AI for dictation, meetings, background tasks and more

You can run it fully offline with local models, or bring your own API key for Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or Grok. It is a fast, hands-free way to get things done on your Mac.
