Honestly very little. Mac already has a lot of functionality built in. I have only specialized programs for my workflows and not much else.
AltTab: Windows alt-tab on macOS
Rectangle: Keyboard based window management.
Linear Mouse: Per-device settings for Mouse, Track Pad, etc. Things like pointer super, scroll direction, and mouse acceleration.
Never knew about Linear Mouse 😱 thank you! does it work with logitech stuff? So i can finally get rid of their shitty software
I’m using it and a Logitech G502 but I haven’t played around to see what things it can and cannot do compared to Logitech’s own software. On Linux I use Piper to manage my mouse with a closer parity to Logitech’s actual software.
Rectangle for window snapping is a life saver!
Lack of window snapping is my number one reason I cannot stand MacOS as a working environment. The fact that the only solution is a third party app is infuriating.
You make it sound like a constant pain, I just installed one of the dozens third party apps available and never thought about it again. It’s really not a problem
- Maccy for clipboard history management via simple shortcuts
- Stats for useful system metrics in the menubar
- LM Studio for easily exploring open source Large Language Models
- NoTunes to get rid of Apple Music launching when you connect your headphones
- Bitwarden for multi-platform password management
- Rectangle for keyboard-based window management
- Homebrew if you’re a developer/sysadmin/command line user
- Fluent Reader to subscribe to RSS feeds
Rectangle for window tiling, MOS to reverse the mouse/trackpad scroll direction pairing, and brew to install everything else.
