🖥️ Software

🖱️ macOS Enhancements

Name	Description	Image
Clipy	Clipboard manager: ctrl-shift-v and you see all the stuff you copied to the clipboard.
AltTab	Alternative app switcher that previews the windows like in some other OSes.
ShiftIt	Allows to change window size and position via shortcuts.
Dozer	Hides macOS menu bar icons.
Alfred	Alternative to .
iStat Menus
TripMode	Data usage tracker and limiter - helpful when abroad and/or using a mobile hotspot.
QuickLook Plugins	QuickLook plugins for various file formats.

🧑‍💻 Software Development

Name	Description	Image
iTerm2	Alternative to macOS's own Terminal. It has a lot more features and customization options.
Fork	GUI Git client that I use for non trivial git actions, because I find it harder to make mistakes. Also, it makes it a breeze to commit only certain parts of a file's changes. 🚀.
Trailer	Menubar item that notifies about GitHub notifications.
VSCode	Code editor - if you have not heard of it, you probably don't need it 🙃.

🗒️ Productivity

Name	Description	Image
Things 3	For me, hands-down the best Task manager. Being able to just hit ctrl-space and type to add a new To Do still feels, after years, like a super power.
Spark 2	Email client - I think I chose this one years ago because I could customize the keyboard-shortcuts.. Have been very happy with it for years.. (I could not find my way around their new version - I assume I was not the only one since they keep the old one around)

🤖 Misc

Name	Description	Image
Handbrake	You want to convert so media files? Use this. Its like a GUI for ffmpeg.
ImageOptim	Removes bloated metadata. Saves disk space & bandwidth by compressing images without losing quality
Tunnelblick

📱 Apps (iOS)

Name	Description	Image
Things 3 (iOS)	Mobile version that syncs with the desktop version. For me the key feature is the widget, which shows Today's Tasks and has a button to add a new To Do.
Carrot Weather	Weather app that is also funny.

🌐 Around the Web

Name	Description	Image
slangthesaurus.com	Yoked language extensions to bamboozle and confoozle the plebes, flex skilz mid convo, and smooth your verbal ForSerious!
