Mac 上高质量的开源应用，你可以在这里一次找到

多数人真正喜欢开源软件的原因，其实倒不在于可以随意修改它们的代码，而是这类软件在其他方面提供给我们的自由与便利：

• 花费较少：多数是免费使用的。
• 持续更新：即使开发者不管了，社区也能继续提供维护软件。
• 安装方便：可以通过 HomeBrew 统一管理，甚至能实现实现 一键装机 。

正是这些人人都可以享受到的便利，才让开源软件日益受到普通用户的欢迎。恰好最近接触到一个 GitHub 项目 ，它收集了 macOS 上大量好用的开源应用，所以在这篇文章里，我也从中挑一些和你分享，同时谈谈自己对于开源软件的看法。

注：为尊重开源社区的习惯，本文使用「软件（software）」的称呼。

如何获得开源软件

很多时候，我们想，都不知道有没有开源软件来解决。好在有人帮忙整理了优质开源软件列表，@scomper 的《 GitHub 中那些不错的免费软件 》中就有不少好软件，而 GitHub 还有人整理了专门的 macOS 开源软件项目 serhii-londar/open-source-mac-os-apps

Mac

Image Caputre

macOS 內建
雖然很多人知道他能拿來螢幕截圖，但好像也有不少人不知道他也可以做螢幕錄影。基本上可以透過快速鍵來開啟：

• [cmd]+[shift]+3
  全螢幕截圖
• [cmd]+[shift]+4
  自行框選截圖螢幕範圍，如果按完 [cmd]+[shift]+4 再按一下 [space] 可以自動選擇各個視窗！如此截下的視窗截圖會帶有陰影，如果不想要陰影，可在按下滑鼠的同時按住 [alt]，這樣就會是無陰影的視窗截圖。
• [cmd]+[shift]+5
  直接開啟整個 Image Caputre 工具列，裡面有螢幕錄影的選項，並能選擇音源！搭配 Soundflower 還能錄下電腦內的聲音，唯一的缺點大概就是不能錄下鍵盤按鍵提示了。

SlidePilot

A powerful tool for presenting PDF slides with support for LaTeX Beamer
Price: Free
Official Website
有時我們會習慣將簡報輸出成 PDF 來播放，SlidePilot 可以讓播放 PDF 簡報擁有像 PowerPoint 或 Keynote 一般的簡報播放模式！

Eudic 歐路辭典

A convenient dictionary for both iOS/macOS with synchronization function.
Price: Free
Mac App Store | Official Website
這是個人用過最好用的辭典，在 macOS 內建 Apple Dictionary 還爛爛的時候，他真的是所向無敵，如今，Apple Dictionary 其實也發展得不錯，兩個軟體我覺得有相輔相成的效果。要快，可以用 Apple Dictionary 的三指快查功能，使用 Eudic 則可存取完整的辭典、例句，並保有查詢記錄可與手機 iOS 版同步，在手機 Eudic app 中開啟其複習的功能，整體整合的相當流暢。在 Mac 上也可設置快速鍵來查詢剪貼簿中的內容，像我就設定成 [alt]+C，這樣我只要選取我要查的字並按下 [cmd]+C，[alt]+C 就可以快速查詢了！唯一的缺點大概就是這是款中國製的 App，也許會有資安疑慮…

OCRmyPDF

An open-sourced command-line tool for doing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on your PDF file.
Price: Free
Github | Documentation
這是一個開源的 PDF 光學文字辨識（OCR）工具，辨識後原本為掃描而成的 PDF 文件就能做全文搜尋，也能反白選擇其中的文字並加以標注。在macOS上最方便的方式是透過 Homebrew 或 Docker 來安裝與執行！

# You may set this alias in you .bashrc
alias dkocr='docker run --rm -i jbarlow83/ocrmypdf --skip-text'# Run 
dkocr - - <in.pdf >out.pdf

Tuxera NTFS

A tool for writing NTFS partition
Price: 15 EUR (about 500 NTD) / single license for up to 3 computers
Official Website
這是讓你可以在 macOS 上寫入 NTFS 磁區的外掛，個人用到現在還沒遇到什麼問題，也相當滿意，倒是有朋友用了他的對手 Paragon NTFS，結果毀了分割區的經驗，不過畢竟都不是 Microsoft 原生支援，使用上心裡還是要有個底，雖然說微軟自己也沒多穩定就是了哈哈哈。另外目前用起來是有提供終身更新服務喔！

Rakuten Kobo

Best e-book reader I’ve ever seen
Price: Free (You have to purchase Books!)
iOS | Official Website (Purchasing Books)
Kobo app 大概是我目前用過最順手的電子書閱讀軟體，使用者體驗真的無敵讚！讀英文書時內建連接 Apple dictionary 會在反白單字後自動跳出，非常方便，亦可作筆記。缺點大概是中文書可能稍微少一點，一些冷門書可能買不到，還有必須透過 Rakuten Kobo 網站購買書籍，不能 App 內購買，但可以把 https://www.kobo.com/ 用 Safari 打開後加入主畫面，就能直接點擊進入商城買書了，買完後在 App 內同一帳戶會自動跳出所買書籍。
