“Marked is a previewer for Markdown and other plain text markups. ” Marked 2 is THE markdown preview app. If you were looking for one or did not even know that you were looking for one, go and have a look 😎. It's on Setapp as well. marked2app.com/
“An iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and visionOS app to track anything” There are many similar apps, but I like Chronicling particularly because of its very good shortcut support.chroniclingapp.com/
“Find it. Clean it. Find out what's taking up your disk space and recover it in the most efficient and easy way.” DaisyDisk visualises your disk space on macOS. If you find GrandPerspective too ugly, DaisyDisk might be the app you were looking for. daisydiskapp.com/
“Capture your Mac's screen like a pro.” CleanShot X is simply the best screenshot utility on macOS. If the build in features are not enough, I would highly recommend looking into it. It's on Setapp as well. cleanshot.com
“Quick-entry for Reminders” Remind Me Faster makes it quick and easy to set reminders in Apple's task manager on iOS and iPadOS. Although I often use Siri for this, when I don't, Remind Me Faster is my go-to. It resides right on my home screen and is much handier than wrestling with Apple's clunky Reminders app interface. BTW version 5 is in testflight now and might come to macOS as well 🤞. App Store
“The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux) Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn't.” Homebrew is not a single application that you just install and use, but a package manager for installing great stuff you didn't know existed or needed. Too many to list here, but highly recommended to have closer look and do a little research. brew.sh/
“Automated Organization for Your Mac.” Most of the things Hazel does you can do with Keyboard Maestro or folder actions in combination with Apple Script or Automator as well. But folder and file-based automation I always tackle with Hazel first. It's so convenient and powerful to do so. Love it. www.noodlesoft.com
“Automate applications or web sites, text or images, simple or complex, on command or scheduled. You can automate virtually anything.” Keyboard Maestro is the SAK for macOS automation. Something you cannot or you don't want to do with Shortcuts? Keyboard Maestro can definitely help. www.keyboardmaestro.com/
“Compressing PDF Files Quickly and Easily” PDF Squeezer is not really cheap (but included in your Setapp subscription) but does one thing exceptional well: Compressing PDF Files Quickly and Easily. www.witt-software.com/pdfsqueezer/
“Get up and running with large language models. Run Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma, and other models. Customize and create your own.” A very convenient way to run different LLMs locally on your Mac. You can chat via Terminal or use GUIs like Ollamac, Enchanted LLM, or MindMac. In addition you can use it with NotesOllama together with Apple Notes or with the help of plugins in Obsidian. ollama.com/
“Pay less, watch more: Save on digital movie and TV show purchases” I used to collect DVDs (not just DVDs, but that's going too far at this point) and now it's digital movies from the iTunes Store (even though it's no longer called that I guess). CheapCharts helps you to keep track of your wish list and to buy films when they cost the same as renting them or at least not so much as they used to.www.cheapcharts.info/
“A fully featured scientific calculator with support for hexadecimal, octal and binary calculations, as well as an RPN mode, parentheses, programmable functions, and an extensive set of unit conversions.” PCalc is the granddaddy of all calculator apps. If it's not Soulver, I turn to PCalc. There is a version for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS, and another one for macOS. www.pcalc.com
“Where Text Starts” Drafts is the SAK for text. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is not possible with the text editor that runs on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS - thanks to a lively community that provides a variety of actions. The UI is a bit confusing, I still confuse the function of the icons even after years, but nonetheless, Drafts is an indispensable tool for me. The catch phrase is 100% right: It's where most of my text starts. getdrafts.com
“Play is the best way to bookmark and organize videos to watch later. Easily add, organize, and watch on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV.” 💯ACK. The basic version of Play costs only $3, but the app really shines with an optional IAP that enables a feature called "Channels". It's basically an easy way to manage an inbox of all your youtube content. I am heavily displeased with the native youtube app on iOS and the user experience on youtube.com, with play it is IMHO much, much better. marcosatanaka.com
“Rocket is a free Mac app that makes typing emoji faster and easier using Slack-style shortcuts.” That says it all. I use Rocket all day long. 🚀 matthewpalmer.net/rocket/
