  • Whenever I get a new computer I install these right away.

    Used everyday:

    • Alfred: customizable productivity tool. It’s a launcher, file searcher, web searcher, clipboard manager, snippet manager, script runner, etc with a robust community making scripts.

    • Textpander: a text replacer I’ve been using before Apple’s and Alfred’s solutions.

    • Bettertouchtool: customize keyboard and trackpad shortcuts

    • Notational Velocity/nVALT + Obsidian: note taking synced across my devices. NValt for quick notes while Obsidian is for long form and personal knowledge management. Just plain text files in a communal vault somewhere.

    • Dropbox: mainly used to sync settings for apps and notes across devices.

    • 1Password: password generation and management for me and my girlfriend. A little pricey, but I love it. been researching alternatives.

    Also handy:

    • Better Rename 9: rename files. Replace characters or strings, add in number sequencing, convert casing, etc. I have a lot of photos and work with a lot of images so this comes in handy

    • Copyqueue: file copy. Enables a queue for file copy.

    • Hidden Bar: menu bar management

    For my watch:

    • App in the Air: is a nice airport companion that visually shows the airplane phases (boarding, flight duration) with accompanying info (like gates and delays)
