A list of tools I use to make myself more efficient. Feel free to collaborate!
- OSX For Hackers a bunch of optional settings for hackers on Mac OSX to make it work better. I just read through it and cherry pick the settings I like.
- FinderPath adds a "address bar" to a Mac finder. Must be invoked by the default hotkey,
Cmd + Shift + Gwhile in Finder. - Alfred: A remarkable productivity app. The clipboard is one of my favourite features. Also really quick directory searching. Completely scriptable so you can make it do almost anything.
- Quiver: Programmer's Notebook - it makes it really easy to have your own internal docs for a variety of things and it supports inline code, code highlighting, and search.
- Quick Look Plugins: Quick look is an awesome feature on Mac OS (by default, hitting spacebar on any file). These plugins make it even better.
- QBserve: Track where your time is spent while on your computer, and works locally so it doesn't send anything to a server.
- Yubiswitch: Turn your Yubikey on or off so you don't accidentally hit it.
- iTerm: A way better Terminal app.
- Recent Tabs: Allows you to specify a shortcut so you can alternate between two different tabs (your most recent one).
