  • alt-tab-macos

    Windows alt-tab on macOS

  • I am trying out Alt-Tab but I got so used to Cmd Tab and the swipe gestures, I rarely use Opt-Tab.

  • Hot

  • The Hot . app is great for showing how hot or cold my laptop is running, and whether it has throttled.

  • chatgpt-mac

    ChatGPT for Mac, living in your menubar.

  • chatgpt topbar is really useful - just click on it and ask a question.

  • sublime_text

    Issue tracker for Sublime Text

  • Sublime Text - my favorite text-editor. side-by-side type stuff, workspaces, find and replace across multiple files in the same folder, and this crazy thing that lets you type into multiple rows at the same time. ouch. can't easily find an animated gif. but it's just great.

  • licecap

    LICEcap simple animated screen capture tool for Windows and OS X

  • LiceCAP - crappy name, but lets you record great animated gifs, and mouse-clicks and set the framerate at will. great for sending "this is what happens when i click on something" type reports to people.

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • Definitely get Homebrew going - let's you install bunches of apps from commandline and just overall helps streamline the whole installation process.

  • homebrew-bundle

    📦 Bundler for non-Ruby dependencies from Homebrew, Homebrew Cask and the Mac App Store.

  • If you like homebrew, definitely give homebrew bundle a whirl if you haven't already
