Hi.

I'm just going to ask here. Not so recently (about nearly a month now, technically this is my third weekend) I received my long awaited on hold 13" Touchbar Macbook Pro M2.

So, let me preface this, I (think) I'm an iPad Pro power user, but I have zero knowledge on Mac OS. I've been playing around to get loads done (and it does get loads done), what are some of the apps that you good fellows would use in your Macs?

I'm trying to get inspiration. Initially I didn't install anything, then I over-installed got got chastised by a good friend as "I'm turning my mac into windows" and then I dialed the dialer back.

For now, I think I have -bash (because it was required for something, even though I know nothing) -lots of python (because the apps require it to run -BetterTouchTool (I'm using goldenchaos config as a base, still learning) -Raycast (I find it... amusing. I'm still trying to marry the functions of Raycast and BetterTouchTool)

Of course there are other apps, but I'll like to hear what Mac users of the Fediverse use. I've seen a lot of apps get mentioned, but some I think are very old, so I'm not sure how they hold up in 2024.

Thanks for responding!

(yes I'm just trying my luck, but who knows if anyone can/will respond?)

Hey there. Thanks for the response. Yeah I have Raycast, (I think I posted before) and I kind of like it. I'll also grab the AppCleaner and UninstallPKG.

I have used Wipr before on my iPadPro, I'll definitely add that to my MacBook safari. Noir seems nice, I do face that problem. I just added Peek and I'm glad to see that you recommend it too. Thanks again!
