OmniPresence - Syncing for my OmniFocus apps. MacOS is basically broken for me without TextExpander.
TextExpander - Second thing I install on a new Mac. Haze Over - Great for distraction-free writing and watching videos.
Tooth Fairy - For managing bluetooth headphones. No longer being developed, but still working for me for the time being. Interact Scratchpad - For quickly entering contact info. IStatMenus - CPU, memory, SSD, network, and sensors.
Screens - In case I need to access my Mac from my iPad.ġPassword - First thing I install on any new Mac.īetter Touch Tool - I have a few customizations for my Magic Trackpad 2, but I should probably be making better use of this. Keyboard Maestro - Do a fair amount of automation with this, especially using a Brett Terpstra style hyper key.
Magnet - My current solution for managing windows on macOS.įantastical - Best quick entry system for calendar events. Plex - the reason why I’m ripping my DVD collection.
IVI Pro - currently ripping my DVD collection.
Spotlight - I always use the shortcut keys, so this doesn’t need to be here. Default Folder X - remembers where you last opened / saved files, and their names, and conveniently goes to the folder and highlights the file. If I switch to the builtin keyboard, I switch this to Dvorak. Currently using a Dvorak layout on my keyboard, so this is set to US English. It just works, and the drive is just there. When it sees it, it mounts a drive that I use all the time. AutoMounter - hangs out and waits for my wired ethernet connection at school. BackBlaze - if there is a catastrophe, I have a backup here, and thus a means to recover. HazeOver - dims screen areas that aren’t actively being used, to minimize distraction and eye strain. Dropbox - because other people want to use it. Less-used things, or things that don’t need fiddling with: My most precious resource is my attention, so I’m very selective about who gets any. Notifications - those things that make you less productive and break your train of thought. I have my menu bar divided into two pages, the second to follow. The ellipsis (three dots) is for Bartender. Drives at home (4T, lots of history), and school (1T, less history). Time Machine - Dropbox and iCloud are copies, not backups. I also use their app installer just about every time, as it does a lot of the menial work of installing automatically. Dropbar - great place to stick stuff temporarily. It’s really nice having them a keystroke away, and that they will go away with the same keystroke. Shift+Butterfly for Bear, Ctrl+Butterfly for Ulysses. For example, the ‘butterfly’ key on my keyboard opens Agenda, or hides the window if it’s already open - that is, it acts like a toggle. Keyboard Maestro - I’ve created a lot of shortcuts and tool palettes to help me use applications more efficiently. Weekly reports, and goals for categories, like ‘less than two hours per day on social media’.
Pops up a window asking what I’ve been doing if I’ve been away.
Rescue Time - monitors what I’m doing on the computer. Also creates shortcut places at screen edges to resize windows. Shortcut keys allow you to move a window to the left half of the screen, left 1/3, lower half, etc. Magnet - a really awesome window manager. Hazel - waiting to move PDFs from Downloads to my Bookends import folder. Sharing preferences (blacked out, as everything is off). Also waiting to help clean up any files left behind when I delete an app. Clean My Mac - waiting to clean some disc space, also keeping an eye out for hung applications. Backs up my research data, cloud data (some of it anyway), and dropbox data to an external SSD.
Carbon Copy Cloner - just hanging out waiting to back something up when I connect an external drive I’ve set up.Location Services - Calendar needs to know where I am for some reason.iStat Menus - overview of system activity etc.CleanMyDrive2 - can remove junk from external drives, allows quickly ejecting all drives.Copied - syncs clipboard material between macOS and iOS, allows saving clips as e.g.Workspaces - doesn’t play well with MATLAB, so probably will be removed.Since folks seem to be interested in home screens, desktops, and the like, I thought I’d throw out the things I let live in my menubar.
