Apps you can't live without on Mac?

by
•
Hey hey!! I want to find some productivity tools to improve my workflow and trying to search for a good clipboard history tool for Mac, have any of you used anything like this? and while we're at it anything else you can't live without? For me, I love using: - ColorSlurp, to be able to copy colours from anywhere - Magnet, to be able to work with sticky windows of all sizes - KeepingYouAwake, which leaves the macbook awake no matter what

AltTab - better switching between apps and windows Amphetamine - keep awake CotEditor - txt file editor Numi - calculations Obsidian - notes PasteNow - clipboard manager Spark - email client Swish - window management Unite - website to app
I like AltTab. Have you or anyone else a tool to do the switching between chrome tabs? I want a keyboard stroke where I get a (visual) overview about all open tabs. Is there something like this out?
I don't use this, saw this somewhere, can't recall now (
you can do this in Arc (Chrome browser alternative), it's just pressing ctrl+tab)
- Magnet for myself as well! - Notes app, weird but it's so basic that it makes me avoid overcomplicating simple tasks
However, I'll be getting Colorslurp now so thank you for the suggestion!
Alfred - Spotlight replacement + automation + clipboard management + more Moom - window control using hotkeys + mouse Bartender - Cleans up your menubar iStat Menus - Device stats in the menubar NextDNS - Web filtering at DNS level VSCode - Coding Notion.so - Ultimate note taking app AppCleaner - Best way to uninstall apps
Alfred has a fantastic clipboard history
Paste for an unlimited clipboard. Shottr is amazing and free. Raycast.
Can't believe I had to scroll this far to find someone else recommending Shottr! It's incredible. Super clean, super fast, lots of options... plus OCR from a screenshot?! And basically free?! Hands down best Mac app :D
My notes app
Maccy...Alfred for that functionality and everything else...
+1 for Maccy.
I'm really curious - why do you need Maccy if Alfred has a pretty neat clipboard functionality?
Basically laziness...Maccy was first and I got very proficient using it and then found Alfred for a different part of my workflow and I have never really used that clipboard history functionality in Alfred...and too lazy to learn it!
Never heard of Alfred before so I will check it out. Have used Maccy for a couple years and it works great for me so never thought to look for anything else.
Homerow. It turns virtually every action on your Macbook into a hotkey just by hitting Control+Shift+Space bar.
- Figma (Bread and butter 😛) - Brave (Browsing without sharing my data) - Cron (Reminds me to get into meetings and ability to join quickly) - Slack (🤷🏼) - Apple notes (All my quick notes)
I just like that the meeting reminders come in a min before meeting starts by default and joining is quick. Also I get to see an overview of all meetings for the day on top mac nav bar. I am aware you can also do the same on google calendar, but haven't found it to be very reliable.
- Raycast (replaces FlyCut, Magnet, Rectangle) - Fig (love S3 autocompletion) - Obsidian (for notes) - Focus To-Do (Pomodoro timer)
Have you tried Lifeline? I’ve used tons of Pomodoro apps and it’s my favorite so far
+1 for Fig. Super helpful and productive.
