  • alt-tab-macos

    Windows alt-tab on macOS

  • I replaced Cmd-tab shortcut to launch https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/, who fix every issue with macos feature. Couldn't be happier.

  • Rectangle

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

  • I think you've forgotten about Spaces.

    I've been maximizing the windows for every app on the built-in screen since forever. More recently I've been using Rectangle when my MBP is connected to my new 27" screen. It works quite well but the layouts require a bit of nannying, I guess it's just a matter of me familiarizing myself with the keyboard shortcuts.

  • dotfiles

    :wrench: .files, including ~/.macos — sensible hacker defaults for macOS

  • I added a PR to fix rsync, mosh, and some other tools, since they will be broken out of the box.

    But it seems this project has fallen behind on PRs.

    If you would like to have this fix, you can do this after cloning the repo:

      git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles && cd dotfiles

  • roadmap

    Welcome to the Public Roadmap for All Things Docker! We welcome your ideas. (by docker)

  • One big feature for me is much improved Virtualization framework. I'm eager for https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/384 to be closed. Must solve some QoL issues for me.

  • sol

    MacOS launcher & command palette

  • yabai

    A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

  • I feel I've regained some sanity with https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai - even without messing with System Integrity Protection. It's a shame there's no real Api to enable proper screen/desktop/wm on macos though.

  • alfred-browser-tabs

    🔍 Search browser tabs from Chrome, Brave, Safari, etc..

  • ++2 for Alfred. AND it has plugins so you can search your Chrome or Brave tabs with Alfred as well. I just hit CMD + Shift + T and it'll search all my open tabs without the browser being in focus. I had to pay but it wasn't much. Use it everyday! https://github.com/epilande/alfred-browser-tabs

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

  • Lunar's Blackout feature can do that: https://lunar.fyi/#blackout

    There's no built-in way to do it.

  • Touch-Tab

    Switch apps with trackpad on macOS.

  • I've tried to setup BTT to emulate cmd+tab with swipe right or left but it wasn't a smooth experience so I've made Touch-Tab https://github.com/ris58h/Touch-Tab

  • feeds

    Collection of Dash docset feeds

  • I have a lifetime/powerpack Alfred license, and i don't use it much, if at all. I have it installed, but in my experience Spotlight has gotten a lot better in recent years, at least to the point where i just use that.

    My only excuse for using Alfred is Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash), which integrates with Alfred, but these days so does just about every editor i use (including Vim, Emacs and Sublime Text), so i very rarely find myself using Alfred for it anymore.

    One tool i do use at lot though is Hook (https://hookproductivity.com/).
