What ProToys actually is.
ProToys is a native-feeling macOS utility suite that groups a bunch of small, useful jobs into one place: screen tools, window tools, file helpers, system toggles, and presentation-friendly cursor tools.
What you get
- 14 tools across 5 categories, all grouped inside one app instead of scattered helpers.
- Shortcut-driven utilities that stay close to the workflow instead of pulling you into full-screen settings or separate apps.
- Finder, screen, and window management features that solve practical Mac annoyances quickly.
Main categories
Screen Tools
Color picking, OCR, on-screen measurements, and zooming for demos or design work.
Window Management
Pin windows, save layouts, crop a live region, and snap apps into zones.
Keyboard & Mouse
Cursor visibility helpers built for recordings, support, and presentations.
File Tools
Fast batch actions like rename and resize directly from Finder-style workflows.
System
Quick controls like staying awake or changing appearance without extra digging.
Permissions
Some tools need macOS permissions to work properly. ProToys can request Accessibility, Screen Recording, Input Monitoring, and Finder extension access depending on which module you use.
The app does not need every permission for every feature. The required access depends on the specific tool you open.
