A unique product - haven't really seen anything like it before. But I get a lot of value from using Crystal to better prepare to interview a candidate, pitch an investor, or sell to a prospective customer. It is almost always helpful and accurate when it comes to personality-based guidance to inform how best to communicate with someone via email or on a call / meeting.

It bit expensive but worth it. We use Carta to manage our cap table, pro forma modeling, pass all board resolutions. We also are power users of their Total Comp product which has been instrumental in how we design compensation philosophy, comp bands, variable commission plans, etc.

ColorSnapper2's beauty is that it's nearly invisible. It's so lightweight and out of the way that using it feels more like a native macOs feature than it does a 3rd party app. It's an essential tool to designers, artists, photographers, publishers, anyone who ever makes slides/presentations, and beyond.

I previously used Snagit for screenshots for many years. But Cleanshot is just so lightweight, snappy, and fast. Once I tried it out, I had to say g'bye to Snagit as my default screenshot tool.

The gold standard for drawing on an iPad. It's beautiful, affordable, simple to get started yet endlessly powerful with vast capabilities that charm and delight when you discover them.

iterm2 is the first thing I install when I buy a new Mac.

Discord is objectively better than Slack. It's a shame more people don't adopt it for work/business.

The best text editor ever. The only thing I don't like about it is it's a little "heavy" (slow to launch the app) .

Alfred has been the foundation of my productivity stack for a decade. It's such an essential part of how I use my Mac, that not having it would be debilitating.

Vimcal has done for my calendar what Superhuman did for my inbox.

Essential tool. I could never handle my inbox volume, stay organized, or keep in touch with my network to the degree I do today without Superhuman.
