Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
MicDrop - Add a global "mute microphone" button in the status bar (https://getmicdrop.com/)
AltTab - Give the same (sane) behaviour to cmd+tab as alt+tab on Windows (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/)
Rectangle - Window snapping (https://rectangleapp.com/)
Maccy - A clipboard history manager (https://maccy.app/)
DropZone - Add a "shelf" zone in the same way as Dropover. It's less good than Dropover, but it's available in Homebrew (whereas Dropover is only available in the app store) (https://aptonic.com/)
Notion Calendar (previously cron) - I love having my next meetings displayed in the status bar, and its notifications are very useful (eg. they have a "join google meet" button)

macOS Bartender Auto-Update Signed by Unknown New Owner
Rectangle user for years, great app. Today I got frustrated enough to find AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/), huge improvement to my workflow already.
Sometimes when cmd+tab'ing between apps it'll bring the selected window to the foreground, and sometimes it won't. They'll regain focus for typing, but are hidden behind another window for whatever reason. Fully open windows too, not minimized or anything. Was driving me mad having to click between IntelliJ and Chrome hundreds of times while doing web UI work instead of quick switching with the keyboard.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
I use AltTab [0] for this. I find using a mac without it horrendous.

Collection of "Today I Learned" notes
If you're using a Mac, I really recommend alt-tab https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/.
I love cmd+tab on a mac to switch between applications, but I was missing a feature to switch between windows of the same application. Alt+tab solves that in the same manner Windows does.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
I know this isn’t the point of your post, but in case it helps your experience in MacOS:
1. You can change the setting so that workspaces do not change their position/order. See: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/214348/how-to-prev...
2. The third party app “alt-tab” provides an alt tab experience that is much better than the native one, and is likely more similar to the behavior you expect from Linux. See: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app
I also personally like to use Rectangle for window positioning using keyboard shortcuts, tried the various auto tiling solutions like yabai and amethyst in the past but I think the flexibility of Rectangle is worth having to remember and use a few keyboard shortcuts.
I think it’s unfortunate that so many third party apps are required, but with a bit of babysitting MacOS can be pretty decent to work with.
