tealdeer, or any other tldr implementation. 99% of the time when I need to use some CLI tool, whatever I need to do is listed intealdeer.z, or some other "smartcd" (e.g.zoxide).fzf, fuzzy finder. Specially when configured withctrl+rto search history.- (Mac) Raycast. Spotlight replacement. Better in every way. Also good replacement for the default emoji picker, much faster.
- (Mac) Rectangle, or any other window arrangement app.
exa.lsreplacement.xh. HTTP client with same API as HTTPie but much faster.rg(ripgrep).grepreplacement.hyperfine. Benchmarking tool.fnm.nodeversion manager.chezmoi. dotfiles management.
- iterm. Tried a few others but keep coming back to this one.
- Cleanshot. Great tool for screenshot and video recordings.
- Dato, or some other tool that keeps the next meeting in the menu bar (e.g. Clocker).
- Daisydisk. I only use it sparingly but great to free disk space.
- mos, pretty much necessary for using a mouse. Smooth scrolling + separate scrolling direction for mouse and trackpad.
- Bartender, to keep the menu bar manageable.
- Rectangle, to manage windows quickly with keyboard shortcuts.
Note that Cleanshot and Bartender are available as part of Setapp, alongside many other good apps.
- untools.co, "tools and frameworks to help you solve problems, make decisions and understand systems".
- Excalidraw. My go-to for quick sketches.
- Obsidian. Note-taking / personal wiki.
- Todoist, or any other TODOs app. Critical to reduce mental load by putting things on a list instead of keeping them at the back of my mind.
