My personal essentials:

Wipr - simple adblock for Safari (MacOS/iOS)

AlDente - useful if you’re keeping your Mac under charger for a longer time. MacOS has very similar feature build in but it may not work if you’re randomly plugging in and out your charger.

Rectangle - free tool for very quick windows management, snapping etc.

Keka - great software for compressing and decompressing .rar files and other compressed formats.

OnyX - great free software for performing overall maintenance in your system

AppCleaner - uninstall programs and delete leftover files

FlipClock - basic screen saver with a clock

Amphetamine - keeping your Mac awake, useful for longer tasks when doing them overnight etc.

Amphetamine, love this App because I want my MacBook being closed when I am using a external Monitor, and don’t want to charge it.

[–] AllUrBoostRBelongTo@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, do you mean this lets you use an external monitor in clamshell without it being plugged into power?!

[–] ubrpwnzr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i use my laptop 100% of the time closed without this (work)

[–] YungAbdi@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh yes! I couldn’t believe it too but it works. U need to press on the icon and unselect the second point on tada external monitor without 24/7 plugged power

Careful s can contribute to overheating issues

[–] carrigroe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

AlDente is the business

Do you know if they fixed the issues with rectangle using stage manager ? Couldn’t snap when using stage manager if you wanted to snap in the area where your stage manager windows were

[–] QuaLiTy131@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately no. I’m never using Stage Manager.

Can vouch for Rectangle, OnyX, AppCleaner, FlipClock, and Amphetamine.

[–] catzfuhdays@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rectangle is great.

Look into yabai for window management
