    Dropover, Magnet, Arc Browser if you don’t like safari. Noir extension if you indeed like safari. Adguard for ad blocking globally. Best video player so far: IINA. Keka for rar files. Blueharvest if you use external drives and don’t wan’t macOS to fill them with .dstore crap. 🫡

    I’m looking for an app to easily edit videos. I used to use MPEG Streamclip, but it’s not working anymore. I use it to edit parts of a video out, or to change format, resolution, etc. Any recommendations?

    Never see it mentioned in these, lists or videos but Hazel is by far my most important app. You can create rules for folders/files/etc. It makes organization so incredibly simple.

    • I preface file names by client and everything gets sorted
    • i organize my desktop/downloads/documents folders automatically
    • i automatically delete old unused files
    • and a lot more

      Do you still find Sniper Text useful? The latest versions of iOS and MacOS can extract text from images and rasterized PDFs. How much better is it compared to the default?

    My personal essentials:

    Wipr - simple adblock for Safari (MacOS/iOS)

    AlDente - useful if you’re keeping your Mac under charger for a longer time. MacOS has very similar feature build in but it may not work if you’re randomly plugging in and out your charger.

    Rectangle - free tool for very quick windows management, snapping etc.

    Keka - great software for compressing and decompressing .rar files and other compressed formats.

    OnyX - great free software for performing overall maintenance in your system

    AppCleaner - uninstall programs and delete leftover files

    FlipClock - basic screen saver with a clock

    Amphetamine - keeping your Mac awake, useful for longer tasks when doing them overnight etc.
