MouseBoost Pro

MouseBoost Pro is a highly popular utility application for macOS designed to dramatically boost productivity by injecting over 30 powerful tools directly into the Finder's standard right-click (contextual) menu.

For power users, designers, developers, and anyone who deals with large volumes of files, MouseBoost Pro transforms the Mac's simple context menu into a customizable mission control panel, allowing you to execute complex tasks in a single click.

Core Features: Productivity in a Right-Click

MouseBoost Pro consolidates dozens of frequently needed actions into three main categories, making the Finder workflow far more efficient than the default macOS experience.

1. Advanced File Management

These features directly address common Mac user frustrations and tedious multi-step tasks:

• True Cut & Paste: Finally adds the often-requested Cut (Command+X) functionality to Finder, allowing you to genuinely move (not just copy) files with ease.

• Quick File Creation: Instantly create new files from custom templates, including specialized files like .txt, .md, .json, and even developer files like .gitignore.

• File Visibility Toggle: Instantly Hide/Show hidden or private files within any folder—perfect for cleaning up screenshots or sharing screen recordings.

• File Security: Quickly Lock files to prevent accidental modification or Force Delete files that the operating system often locks up.

• Encrypted Archives: Create encrypted ZIP archives directly from the context menu.

2. Developer & Power User Tools

This is where the app provides massive value for technical users:

• Terminal Access: Open the selected directory directly in Terminal, iTerm2, or a preferred code editor like VSCode or Sublime Text.

• Script Runner: Add and run custom Shell or AppleScripts directly from the right-click menu to automate specific file operations (e.g., batch rename, moving files to a network location).

• Copy Path: Copy the full, absolute file path to the clipboard with one click—essential for command-line work or documentation.

• File Info: Quickly view cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA1, etc.) for file verification.

3. Utility & Aesthetics

• Color Picker: A built-in screen color picker allows you to snap and copy HEX, RGB, or HSL values from anywhere on your display.

• Image Tools: Batch convert images between popular formats (e.g., PNG to JPG) and quickly generate icons in sizes required for iOS, Android, and macOS app development.

• Customization: Add shortcuts to your most-used Favorite Directories and Applications to keep your Dock clean and improve navigation speed.

Customization and Workflow

MouseBoost Pro is highly customizable. Every function listed can be:

• Reordered: Drag and drop menu items to arrange them logically.

• Renamed: Give actions custom names that make sense to your workflow.

• Disabled: Hide unused functions to prevent menu clutter.

This ensures your right-click menu only shows the tools you need, minimizing the time spent hunting through sub-menus.

Pricing and Acquisition

The application is available exclusively through the Mac App Store and generally follows a "free to download with in-app purchases" model.

• Free Version: Provides limited functionality.

• Pro Upgrade: Unlocks all 30+ utilities and features.
