For development/Debugging: 1. VSCode - Got used to the key bindings and integrated terminal, so now it's really hard to switch 2. Requestly - For easily setting up local debugging environments. I am less of a UI guy, so this allows me to use the live UI of a deployed site, and redirect whichever request I want to play with to my local server. 3. Wireshark - To better understand a network protocol.

Hyper in conjunction with fig (I also have iterm2, but I like Hyper pretty well) and brew.
-
iTerm2, since Terminal.app doesn't support 24-bit colors and I used Neovim for some time. I now use Neovide for Neovim, so all I use iTerm2 for now is the UI (I have a theme I like, plus dark mode actually works).
-
These are just apps I directly use. You may also like e.g. Fig if you work in the command line and like knowing what actions are supported, though I find Oh My Zsh with autocompletion + on tab suitable.
-
Secretive, which replaces painfully managing SSH keys from the command line / editor. Getting a Touch ID prompt is so much better, though migrating computers will suck.
-
Visual Studio Code, since it has a lot of tools I need (though, I don't enjoy using it). Zed is similar but also new, so it doesn't have extensions but is much more pleasant to use (think like a modernized Sublime Text).

ohmyzsh
🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,500+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

Food Truck (if you can count it), which is a reference app for demonstrating how to use SwiftUI.

CotEditor, which is like TextEdit except actually useful for non-text documents (e.g. I write a lot of Markdown in it).
