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.

New Mac Essentials

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.

It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.

One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
