Mac tools

Menubar Tools

The tools that I have constantly running on my Mac:

• Numi - Ledger based calculator app. I have a hotkey setup to quickly open this up.
• Amphetamine - Stops your computer from going to sleep, a must-have for presentations.
• Moom - Window manager, allows you to quickly resize windows.
• 1Password - Password manager, if you're not using a password manager...please stop what you are doing and set up 1password.
• Itsycal - Quickly see a calendar view (not as needed now that MacOS has the control center view).
• Kap - Open source screen recording tool.

Alfred

At the basic level this is a replacement for Spotlight. At a more advanced level, you can use it for workflows, clipboard history, text expansion, and more.

Tips

• I have set up text expansion for email and phone number
  • @@p - expands to my primary email address
  • @@w - expands to my work email
  • ##p - expands to my primary phone number

Development

• Visual Studio Code is my editor of choice
• iTerm2 is my terminal
• Homebrew to install packages
• zsh is my shell of choice. I use oh-my-zsh or antigen to add further customizations
