Must-download apps for your Mac 🍎
This newsletter was brought to you byElevenLabsMust-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.

So we’re just… talking to software now?
ElevenLabs has been the go-to for voice for a while. Now they've turned that expertise into agents that actually get things done. You set one up, it talks like a real person, listens, responds, and helps handle the task — support calls, bookings, whatever the job is. Not a demo, not a "press 1 for sales" situation. It's ready to deploy. Feels like one of those shifts where the interface quietly changes. Less typing, less clicking, more just saying what needs to happen and letting it play out.
