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

  • Turbo-Boost-Switcher

    Turbo Boost disabler / enable app for Mac OS X

  • It's not fixed though, it simply cripples the CPU in order to keep it cooler. This was already achievable by disabling Turbo Boost [0]. I can't tell which solution works better but before switching to an M1 Air I was running TBS on my 16" and it made things more acceptable.

  • skhd

    Simple hotkey daemon for macOS

  • Amethyst

    Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

  • Amethyst is another option, but doesn't require disabling SIP: https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst. Does require accessibility permissions though.

  • LibreOffice

    Read-only LibreOffice core repo - no pull request (use gerrit instead https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/) - don't download zip, use https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bundles/ instead (by LibreOffice)

  • LibreOffice has Draw which can handle PDF files. It can edit and modify them and save them. The price is free https://www.libreoffice.org/

  • ish

    Linux shell for iOS

  • You can get some stuff running on an iPad using iSH [0], but compatibility is iffy. At one point, I tried bringing a RPi4 along with me to act as a mobile dev server (it'd serve an instance of VSCode over ethernet via a USB-C/ethernet adapter on the iPad, and the iPad would share its Wifi connection to the RPi), but it was clunky to bring two devices with me. Nowadays, I use Blink Shell [1] as a mosh terminal to a remote dev server.
