Monarch

About

Monarch is an app for macOS that appears on top of everything you do. It extends your operating system so you can perform a variety of tasks without switching apps or workspaces. Its features include a calculator that handles standard math, date differences, timezone comparisons, and unit and currency conversions; quick access to deeper macOS settings such as Display, Touch ID, Wallpaper, and Keyboard; and Commands that hide unfocused apps, lock the screen, control volume and microphone, and sleep your Mac.

Monarch also includes a searchable clipboard history that you can filter by app or content type, with the ability to rename frequently used items. Immediate access to your browser bookmarks is available, and holding the ⌘ key lets you control how and where each bookmark opens. Monarch Notes let you write markdown notes with ⌘ + dot, even in fullscreen, and notes are saved locally on your Mac.

Monarch requires macOS 12 or later, with Intel support coming soon. You can try it free for 30 days without a credit card. The Freya Edition is a one-time purchase with a perpetual license, listed at $39 or $30 at a reduced price, and student discounts are available by request.
