  • Lunette

    Zero-Config Spectacle Keybindings for Hammerspoon

  • They copied it a little bit, but it's very mouse oriented (option-click the green zoom button to snap windows to left/right).

    Another option for this is Hammerspoon, e.g.: https://github.com/scottwhudson/Lunette

  • mas

    :package: Mac App Store command line interface

  • One cute trick I've found is that you can install mas[0] (mac app store cli) and then have mas install things from the app store for you[1].

    also, at least some system prefs can be set via the defaults util[2].

  • One alternative for window switching is Alfred:

    Workflows for browser tabs aren't as up-to-date though:

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • You should be able to automate installing programs with homebrew.[0]

  • macos-defaults

    Incomplete list of macOS `defaults` commands with demos ✨ (by yannbertrand)

  • I highly recommend https://macos-defaults.com/ for a list of useful `defaults` commands. I automated almost all my macOS settings thanks to it.

  • mise

    dev tools, env vars, task runner

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
