Mac and IOS apps Cross-Device Productivity:

Cross-device clipboard, cleaner desktops, and voice-powered finance are converging for Mac and iOS. Here are five tools shaping multi-device workflows today.

  • ClipNest - A clipboard manager that actually syncs across all Apple devices. It saves everything you copy—text, links, files—and lets you search your full history. It runs in the background and works offline, with access from the menu bar or notifications [1].

  • Desktop Wrestler - Auto-sorts your Desktop and Downloads, moving clutter into type-based folders. It offers a History tab to see what moved and can auto-trash items after a set time. Lightweight, with a one-time purchase [2].

  • Get Later App - hasn’t seen updates in years, leaving some wondering if a successor exists. The concept centers on saving and reopening a batch of apps, though window placement remains a question [3].

  • Qrosh - A voice-powered expense tracker available on Android, iPhone, iPads & Mac. It logs expenses via speech, emphasizes privacy, and adds AI-powered insights. Promo options include 1 month free, then $5/month or $29.99 lifetime [4].

  • Cursr - A go-to for looping the mouse across multiple monitors, a popular multi-monitor feature. It works for many setups, though some users report horizontal looping only in certain configurations [5].

As multi-device workflows expand, these tools hint at where Mac and iOS ecosystems are headed—toward frictionless, cross-device productivity.
