My Preferences for Mac productivity
overall a good list for those that aren't comfortable in a terminal. (It's taken me nearly 20 years to get here)
Thanks for these, learned about a couple new things I'd like to try.
I'd offer magnet as an alternative to rectangle. It's cheaper compared to pro as long as what you really want is a snappy window placement with intuitive keyboard commands.
I prefer Bitwarden to 1Password. It's free and open source and has pretty much all the same features including use on mobile devices.
For most text files checkout atom. Lot's of extensions/plugins like sublime and far better than the native text editor.
Good alternative options for the first two but as for the last I'd mention this 😅.
