macOS
About the same time I switched over to Ruby/Rails from my previous life as a .NET developer, I had already switched over to using Macintosh computers. One of my first Macs was the beastly 17" MacBook Pro from back in the day. That was my main machine for a long time and I think I still have it around here somewhere weighing down stacks of paper I'm sure.
Some of my favorite macOS apps
- Alfred · the best way to launch anything
- Bartender · taming the menu bar beast
- CheatSheet · quick way to learn keyboard shortcuts in everyday macOS apps
- Dash · my goto tool for looking up language docs (works great with Alfred)
- Droplr · screenshot/video sharing with annotations
- ExpressVPN · public wi-fi is the wild wild west
- iStat Menus · geeking out on fan speeds, temperatures and weather
- iTerm2 · my default terminal client of choice
- Pixelmator Classic · not used too much, but for basic image editing needs
- SizeUp · simple window manager with keyboard shortcuts I've used for years
- Sizzy · recent addition is a must-have for web designers/developers
- Things · don't use it as much as I should, but my goto "todo" app
