  • phoenix

    A lightweight macOS window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript (by kasper)

    • I like Phoenix, since you can program it exactly to your needs in any flavor of JavaScript.

  • ohmyzsh

    🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ 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 so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

    • Personally I just use integrated terminal, however I do use OhMyZsh

    • Sequel Ace: MySQL DB manager https://sequel-ace.com/

  • kitty

    • After 7 years of iTerm I’ve started using kitty: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/ It uses the GPU instead of CPU. Works fine for me personally.
