Must-download apps for your Mac 🍎
This newsletter was brought to you byWispr FlowMust-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.

Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
