Must-download apps for your Mac 🍎
Other than the usual suspects of Chrome, Dropbox, Spotify, and your pick of non-Apple made email client, what are the first apps you download when setting up your new Mac?
We asked the Product Hunt community and found some great under the radar apps. A few interesting trends also came about...
1) Mac users LOVE menu bar apps. Many responded recommending Caffeine, Alfred, and f.lux.
2) macOS really needs to come with a built-in windows organizer. Popular solutions include: Spectacle, Magnet, and BetterSnap.
3) The ubiquity of Slack means that Slack-like :emoji: commands are now essential, in every app. Rocket does just that.
4) Use a password manager... especially after it feels like everybody is losing your personal data. 1Password was recommended a lot.
5) Download this app last.

Are you really still typing?
Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt. Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
