VORARBEITER
All your recurring file work in one local Mac app
VORARBEITER turns recurring file and media work into clear local workflows on macOS. Download web media with its Safari extension, batch-rename files, handle ZIP archives, convert and retouch images, edit PDFs and text, process audio through installed VST3 effects, and inspect or convert 3D models. Jobs run on your Mac with a queue and history—instead of cloud uploads or a separate app for every step. Try every workspace free for 72 hours.
I’m the developer behind VORARBEITER.
The name is German for “foreman”: something that organizes the work, keeps track of every job, and sends each task to the right workstation.
I built VORARBEITER because everyday file work on a Mac had become fragmented across many small utilities, browser downloaders, converters, and cloud services. A single batch of files could require several different applications before the work was finished.
VORARBEITER brings these steps together in one native macOS application:
• Download images, GIFs, and videos using the Safari extension
• Analyze websites and revisit them through a persistent crawl archive
• Rename files and create or extract ZIP archives
• Convert, compress, and retouch images
• Edit and export PDFs, text, and Property Lists
• Process audio using locally installed VST3 effects
• Inspect, repair, and convert 3D models
• Keep processing jobs organized in a queue and history
The local workspaces process files directly on the Mac. Originals remain untouched unless replacement is explicitly selected.
VORARBEITER is available in English and German. Every workspace can be tested free for 72 hours. After that, it is a one-time purchase for two Macs with no subscription.
I’d especially like your feedback on two questions:
Which workspace would you use first?
And which recurring Mac file task is still missing?
I’ll be here throughout the launch and will answer every question personally.
