My wonderful world of macOS Thanks

List of applications and tools that make my macOS experience even more amazing

Light appearance. Prefer to use light themes as it makes text more readable during the day with natural light around.

Dark appearance. All apps are in one desktop since there is delay in switching between macOS multiple desktops. Dock is hidden. Desktop background is dynamic.

Applications

I use a lot of apps on my mac. Below is a list of my favorite tools with descriptions of how I use them.

I also share my dotfiles together with my iOS setup. And I made a Telegram group to discuss all things macOS/iOS.

I have extensive wiki where I share everything I know. Apps that I described in the wiki are linked to from here.

Changing themes

I made KM macro with this AppleScript to switch between light/dark macOS appearances. As appearances are switched, the themes get updated accordingly on most apps.

CleanShot - Create & annotate screenshots/recordings

  • After you make a screenshot, it allows for quick edits (arrows, text, blurring).

Popclip - iOS like mouse text selection popover

  • Brings up a quick menu whenever some text is selected on which I can do a number of quick actions, like searching selected text on Google, YouTube or copy the text. Here are the extensions I have activated:

  • And here is how it looks for me:

  • Everything I use comes by default with PopClip except YouTube extension which you can download here. I used PopMaker tool to create this web search extension.

  • I use Inoreader to sync blogs I follow between phone and mac.
