  • Rectangle

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

  • Lacks shortcuts, takes much longer to get windows sized and placed where you want, lack of usability leads to people just having windows strewn about. I lived on MacOS with the default window management system for a while and actually didn’t care until I got a windows machine for work and used theirs extensively. When I came back to my Mac, I was surprised something similar wasn’t the default and decided to download Rectangle. It’s incredible and just lets me do what I need to do faster.

  • alt-tab-macos

    Windows alt-tab on macOS

  • True story. Window management and window switching are the two most inconvenient things in macOS that bother me. (the third one is buggy Finder). That is why I use Hookshot and AltTab apps to fix it. Too bad it's impossible to fix Finder by ourselves.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • yabai

    A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

  • Try yabai it basically turns Mac OS into a Linux WM similar to I3 or Bspwm. It makes Mac OS bareable to use as all Unix tools and dotfiles work on Mac OS. https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

  • ExpansionCards

    Reference designs and documentation to create Expansion Cards for the Framework Laptop

  • I used Linux, it looks so cool, I feel Apple should limit itself to hardware and let users run OS of their choice. Just like frame.work does.

  • Amethyst

    Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

  • For those wanting to go next level: try Amethyst, an automatic window manager. → https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst

  • 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.
