From business and office software to music, photo and video editing to finance and tax software, you can create, edit, organize and discover new ways to get things done.
1. Subnautica
If you find yourself on a mysterious planet without humans and dry land, what would you do? We’d understand if you’d panic at first. But, human instinct suggests you better find a way to survive.
That is the plot of the game Subanutica. Since it was released last January, it has drawn so much praise and attention from critics and players. It is a survival game that puts your survival instincts to a test. When playing the game, you will be challenged to explore what’s waiting for you in a thriving ecosystem underwater. After all, it’s a game of science and survival.
2. Vagante
If you are a fan of dark-themed games, Vagante may be the perfect game for you. Though its concept is more like a rogue game, at least, you have company to go at it. You can conquer levels alone or with the help of other players via local connections or online. Now, if you also like your game literally dark, don’t worry. Vagante is set in a dark, dreamlike world if demons, monsters, villains, and a cave. Yes, a cave that is believed to house unfathomable treasure. We cannot tell so much at this point since nobody has ever yet returned from its depths.
For those players who wish to customize their characters, here is something that might excite you. Character customization is made possible. That way, you can be stronger and be able to pick up enchantments that could be the key to solving certain levels. Be warned, though. You can quickly get frustrated whenever you face challenges. But if your character is strong and smart enough, you could easily get past different obstacles and you will be rewarded with a sense of accomplishment.
3. Delver
Sometimes, we’d rather go on mischievous adventures alone. So, if you feel the need to tackle shifting dungeons by yourself without assistance from your friends, explore the newly released action-adventure game Delver.
Just a friendly advice: this game is quite difficult to master. You also have to be deadly serious when playing because it has permadeath, which means if you die, you go back to the beginning of the dungeon. Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you. Again, it’ll be just you until the end.
4. Farm Together
Farm Together is more like a virtual community garden. You begin with a small plot of land and you cultivate it to expand. What’s interesting about this game is that it expands widely that even if a tornado hits a portion of your land, you will never have any idea.
The usual everyday routine involves raising animals, growing crops, and constructing buildings. As you advance, you could unlock new items. Don’t worry, though. You need not do all the work by yourself. You can set up multiplayer farms and invite your friends to play with you.
5. The Station
While studying a responsive alien civilization in the middle of a civil war, an entire crew of a surveillance space station mysteriously vanished. To know what happened to them, you need to succeed in the Mac game known as The Station.
The beginning of the game’s plot is already mysterious. But as you go through the ship, you will slowly pick up the pieces and solve the mystery. Make sure you pay attention to the setting and be wise as you go from room to room. If you really want to feel as if you are in the game, the developers suggest you use headphones.
6. Stardew Valley
The Harvest Moon farming series disappointed the first-time developer Eric Barone so much that he decided to create his version of the game. This time, it is complete with interesting characters, involves marriages and combats, and has post-launch support available.
It seems like Stardew Valley exceeded expectations because it is more than just a typical farming game. As a role-playing game, characters can level up in different areas, such as mining and fishing. Professions can also be customized and new areas can be unlocked as the game progresses. And should you ever decide to just focus on farming and improving your home, you can do so. Customize your abode to your liking as well as the farm that surrounds you to create your own kind of rural havens.
7. Heroes of the Storm
League of Legends and Dota 2 are, by far, two of the most popular multiplayer online battle arena games today. However, Blizzard has one free, friendly game that can top that. And the good news is that it works on Mac and features a plethora of familiar characters.
Mac Laptop 2015
Like most multiplayer online battle arena games, Heroes of the Storm is a battle for map domination. You team up with five players to destroy the turrets of your enemy, and then take down their base. Since it is free-to-play, it is indeed worth giving a shot. Wait, before you go playing this game, be sure you check your system. It has minimum system requirements that change over time.
8. Minecraft
Since its basic version was made available in 2009, Minecraft has become immensely popular among gamers. Although you begin the game with nothing but just your hands, you have the freedom to explore the vast random map. While foraging, you will find different resources that can be used to survive. As you make your way deeper into the enormous map, you may encounter enemies such as creepers and zombies. They are just around, waiting for opportunities to wreak havoc on your landscapes.
This game is so simple, but at the same time addicting. Even if you’ve got nothing but blocks, you can build towering buildings and skyscrapers in minutes. Though its pixelated graphics may often discourage some people, we’re confident that its gameplay is more than enough to capture the interest of gamers. It’s perfect for all ages!
9. Celeste
Released in January 2018, Celeste is a 2D game that has been received positively by many Mac gamers, so you don’t want to miss it! The game centers around Madeleine, a young girl who survives her inner demons and goes on an adventure to the peak of Celeste Mountain.
On her way, she will encounter difficulties. Secrets have to be unlocked and 700+ screens need to be trampled. If you die in the process, do not worry. You will respawn immediately. So, just jump, climb, dash, and advance. Be sure you don’t get hooked on the game because it can leave you breathless, especially when you reach the top of the mountain.
10. Battle Chef Brigade
We’ve played many different puzzle and role-playing games before, but it seems That Battle Chef Brigade topped them all, thanks to its unique cooking game elements.
True, the game is a strange concoction similar to what you make in the game, but it can be rather appetizing. You’ll be a part of an out-of-this-world cooking contest, where you prepare and serve dishes by simply matching elements and collecting ingredients by beating monsters. It’s pretty straightforward, but the combination of all these elements makes the game unique and special.

You must take the time to manage your iCloud storage quota. Everything from backups, photos, and documents, to apps syncing data across the iPhone and the Mac, Apple uses iCloud. Unless you go on regular cleaning sprees, you are bound to burn through a storage plan sooner rather than later.
A while back, we looked into freeing up iCloud storage on iPhone and iPad. In this post, we shall explore ways to do that on the Mac as well. By the end, you will have hopefully have lots of iCloud storage available. Let's get started.
1. Delete Obsolete Backups
By default, iPhones and iPads are automatically configured to back up data to iCloud. However, you can choose to delete the backups of any devices that you no longer use (or own) to free up huge chunks of storage right from your Mac.
On the Mac, head over to System Preferences > Apple ID > Manage. Then, pick an obsolete backup and click Delete ' — '.
If you delete any iPhone or iPad backup that is in active use, you put that device at risk. In that case, we strongly recommend that you create regular local backups to your Mac using Finder.

All the Photos you click using iPhone, and iPad often end up using a lot of space on the iCloud storage. If you have iCloud Photos enabled on your Mac, you can choose to delete unwanted photos and screenshots to free up space.
Open the Photos app, and then dive into categories such as Screenshots (located underneath Media Types within the sidebar) to locate and delete unwanted images (right-click an image and select Delete Photo).
You can also select multiple photos for removal; hold down the Command key while clicking on items.
Note: Deleting photos will also remove them from other devices that use iCloud Photos.3. Switch to Google Photos
Consider using Google Photos for photo backups. In addition to 15GB of free storage, Google Photos lets you upload and sync an unlimited number of photos and videos (although at compressed quality).
On the Mac, install the 'Backup & Sync from Google' client to upload and access photos. On the iPhone and iPad, use the Google Photos app instead.
Download Backup & Sync (Mac)Download Google Photos (iPhone & iPad)After backing up your photos and videos to Google Photos from all your devices, you choose to disable iCloud Photos and free up the associated cloud storage. Head into System Preferences > Apple ID > Manage. Then, select Photos and click Turn Off and Delete.
Recommended: Refer to this guide for more details on what happens when you disable and delete iCloud Photos.4. Delete Unwanted Files in iCloud Drive
Do you use iCloud Drive to sync files and folders between devices? Head over to Finder, select iCloud Drive from the sidebar, and then remove any unwanted items to free up space.
Tip: While inside any folder, switch to List view, and then click the Size column to arrange files by size. That should help you to identify large files that you no longer have any use for.5. Switch to Google Drive
Instead of using iCloud Drive, consider switching to an alternative cloud storage service. Google Drive, for example, not only offers 15GB of free storage but also doesn't count certain forms of data toward your quota.
To start using Google Drive, download 'Backup & Sync from Google' to your Mac. You can access your Google Drive contents on the iPhone and iPad via the Google Drive app.

If you use iMessage on your iPhone or Mac, you will often end up consuming lots of iCloud storage since messages and conversations are set to sync among devices by default. In terms of gigabytes, this could very well run into double digits if left unchecked.

Go to System Preferences > Apple ID > Manage. Then, select Messages, click Turn Off and Delete.
8. Delete Attachments in Mail
If you use an iCloud.com email account, consider deleting emails with attachments to free up space. Use the Mail app's filters to get to them quickly.
Open the Mail app on your Mac, and then click View > Filter > Enable Messages Filter. Then, head back into the Filter menu, and set the criteria to 'Only Mail with Attachments.'
You can then start deleting unwanted email messages and conversations with large attachments. For more details, check out this guide.
9. Delete Voice Memos
Do you record lots of voice memos? Since they are set to sync between devices, your recordings can end up using the iCloud storage. So, open the Voice Memos app and delete any unwanted voice memos.
You must also remove them from the Recently Deleted folder in Voice Memos. Otherwise, they will continue to reside both locally and on iCloud for the next 30 days.

10. Review and Delete Other Backups
Finally, head into System Preferences > Apple ID > Manage again and go through the list of the various backups performed by apps or services to iCloud.
Then, delete any that you deem unnecessary. For example, you could remove an obsolete WhatsApp backup that you no longer have any use for.
Be careful while doing that because deleted iCloud data is often irrecoverable.
