Must-download apps for your Mac 🍎
Other than the usual suspects of Chrome, Dropbox, Spotify, and your pick of non-Apple made email client, what are the first apps you download when setting up your new Mac?
We tweeted this question and found some great under the radar apps. A few interesting trends also came about...
1) Mac users LOVE menu bar apps! A lot of the responses mentioned Caffeine, Alfred, and f.lux.
2) macOS really needs to come with a built-in windows organizer. Popular apps include: Spectacle, Magnet, and BetterSnap.
3) The ubiquity of Slack means that Slack-like :emoji: commands are now essential, in every app. Rocket does just that.
4) Use a password manager! It should be one of the first apps you download (1Password was mentioned a lot).
5) Download this app last.
