## About

Orrel brings everyday Mac utilities into one native app and menu bar item. It records screens with sound, captures and marks up screenshots, combines and compresses PDFs, converts files, searches your Mac in plain English, organises Desktop and Downloads, finds duplicates, and shows local servers and resource usage.

Designed for people who would otherwise combine several specialist tools, Orrel keeps search, OCR and conversion on-device, asks before moving or stopping anything, and supports undo for tidy-up runs. It also includes an MCP server for Claude and Cursor. The app requires macOS 14 or later and is sold with a 3-day trial, then a one-time licence.
