On a regular basis, Apple World Today posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they’re popular and deserve mention. Here are this week’s picks.
macOS

Norbert M. Doerner has released NeoFinder 7.4 an update of its media asset management tool for the Mac.
It allows you to use new scene detection engines to automatically find Tags in thumbnails.
