For the Mac, this wasn’t too hard, since the Desktop Curtain utility is in the Mac App Store. I wanted to find an alternative for the Hide Desktop tool in both Mac and Windows. Even if it is in one of the stores, what search terms will find it? There are over 30,000 apps in the Mac App Store, and more than 670,000 in the Windows Store.įinding an obscure piece of functionality buried deep in the dialogs, in control panels, or in an invisible right-click menu in either macOS® or Windows can be quite a chore. To find alternatives for a particular tool, do you look first for a third-party utility, or is that functionality hidden somewhere in the OS? Finding a third-party utility can be challenging since not every utility is in the Mac® App Store or the Windows Store. While this can be done, of course, it does require searching and the expenditure of both time and money. To answer this question, I attempted to get the functionality of several tools included in Parallels Toolbox-without using the tools.
#Apps like switchresx for mac#
(Remember that as a Parallels Desktop® for Mac customer, you can install Parallels Toolbox for Mac at no charge, as well as Parallels Toolbox for Windows in every one of your Windows VMs at no charge.)īut what if Parallels Toolbox didn’t exist? How could you accomplish all those frequently encountered computer tasks? Can they be done-and at what cost? I’ve been a Parallels Toolbox user from its first release, and I use one or more of the tools every day. New versions of Parallels® Toolbox have just been released (Parallels Toolbox for Mac 2.5 and Parallels Toolbox for Windows 1.5), and they contain both new tools and new functionality of existing tools. There are numerous of alternatives to Parallels Toolbox: CleanMyPc, CleanMyMac, Snagit for Windows, Capto, SwitchResX.
