My Mac Recommendations

macOS Recommendations

General Utilities

  • Rectangle — a free option for window snapping/arrangement stuff.
  • AltTab — an improved window switcher with some decent customizability
  • Shifty — a macOS "night shift" slider
  • Raycast — Spotlight replacement, somewhat like Alfred, but free and more customizable
  • Better Touch Tool — not free, but worth every penny. Pretty awesome window snapping/arrangement capabilties (like Rectangle but MOAR), and lets you create shortcuts for keyboard/mouse/touchpad/touchbar/etc.
  • Keka — compression utility that handles 7zip, rar, and some other archive formats that don't work natively in macOS.
  • NameChanger — batch file-renamer with a handy intuitive UI
