  Lightweight clipboard manager for macOS

  With Alfred you can do almost anything efficiently.  Personally, I did get its powerpack to get all of Alfred's features; clipboard history and much more. Though when it comes to clipboard history there's a free alternative: Maccy. Back to Alfred - Alfred can also create workflows that allows you to control apps, make snippets and queries directly to websites that you can customize. Watch this video to learn more.

• Rectangle

  246 22,333 0.0 Swift

  Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas

  Apps that can sell themselves: Numi - a way better calculator. Meeter – gives you a timer in your toolbar to showcase your next meeting, you can also easily join the meetings. Bartender – Tidy up your toolbar. Hidden Bar is a free alternative Magnet – Snap windows in place. Rectangle is a free alternative. I just happened to get Magnet. Ryan Hanson is the developer for Magnet, but also Hyperkey. He has some more interesting apps that I'm yet to try out. Checking out his work might be worth some time. Dropover – Effortlessly drag and drop files. Creates a temporary box to hold your files while navigating to where you want to drop them. Pure Paste – Can automatically remove formatting from what you copy, which I believe has annoyed everyone at some point.

  Windows alt-tab on macOS

  There's still things missing in this post though. Your comment made me realize it's missing AltTab. Think that's an app you'd like coming from Windows

• HomeBrew

  405 37,113 9.9 Ruby

  🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  

  Two must-haves I’d like to see make the list: 1. Homebrew, an apt-like package Manager for macOS. Makes it easy to install, update and manage applications. 2. Caffeinated, a small utility to prevent your Mac from going to sleep.
