But at least you can download the free trial and see how useful Toolbox is for your own personal work set-up before buying. And, of course, there are many utilities available from other developers that provide similar features. And, incidentally, Parallels Desktop still provides an option to buy that as a one-time purchase without an annual subscription, so it’s disappointing that Toolbox itself is now subscription-only. I do find Toolbox useful–but I get it included with my copy of Parallels Desktop, so I don’t need to pay an additional subscription fee for it. It’s a shame that a relatively modest piece of software such as Toolbox now requires an annual subscription, as that will probably deter quite a few potential users. We also found one or two tools – such as Hide Desktop Files, which reduces clutter by temporarily hiding all the junk you leave sitting on your desktop – that worked perfectly well on my old Intel-based iMac, but didn’t seem to work on a newer M1 iMac. The tools for reading and creating barcodes will probably only appeal to a rather niche audience, while the tools for creating screenshots and screen recordings largely seem to reproduce the features that are already built into the macOS itself. Not all of these tools will seem essential, though. The video tools also include options for creating screen recordings and animated GIFs, and there’s a useful Download Audio tool, which lets you just grab the audio track from video files that you find online. Other groups of tools include Video Tools, with options such as Download Video, which can help you to download videos from YouTube and other websites, while Convert Video can convert your video files into different formats for use on an iPhone or iPad, or even into the AVI or WMV formats for Windows devices. With just one click, you can: Save Space on your Hard Drive Create. It can also highlight large files that are taking up a lot of space, such as games that you may not need anymore. Parallels Toolbox is our all-in-one solution with over 40 tools for macOS and Windows. Another tool can fully uninstall Mac apps, along with any related files that may be scattered around your Mac’s drive. If you’re looking for cleaner tools that can help you to reclaim disk space or fine-tune your Mac’s performance then the Clean Drive tool can locate unnecessary files that are taking up space on your Mac, and also find duplicate files that you may no longer need. A collection of more than 50 tools means that there’s a lot to take in when first getting started but, as mentioned, Toolbox can sort tools into groups to help you find the tools you need.
