List of recommended software
Software Description Link
Zed Zed is a code editor built in Rust that prioritizes speed and responsiveness. Super clean and minimalist UI that's similar to VS Code, but it's more lightweight and faster. The dev team pushes updates based on user feedback regularly. And it's open source! LINK →
Raycast Raycast is a productivity tool that replaces your Mac's Spotlight with a customizable command center, allowing quick access to apps, files, and services through extensible plugins and keyboard shortcuts. LINK →
Obsidian Obsidian is a note taking app that works on top of local markdown files. It has a "local first" approach that aligns with open standards instead of proprietary ones. The sync system works great across devices, and the plugin ecosystem is impressively extensive. It's definitely worth it, even if you're not comfortable with Markdown. LINK →
1Password 1Password is the essential tool I recommend to everyone – it securely manages all your passwords and syncs across devices. LINK →
AeroSpace "AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS". As a tiling window manager proselitizer, it is an absolute necessity for macOS. It's the closest I've gotten to the DWM heaven. LINK →
Warp Warp is a terminal built with Rust that has IDE-like features. It has clean block-based output, and collaborative features for sharing terminal sessions. Much faster than traditional terminals with nice quality-of-life features like command history search and AI assistance. LINK →
