macOS apps I use the most

This post is inspired by this repository. The author describes his macOS apps stack he uses the most. But I don’t see the point of having so many apps. At least 5 paid apps he owns can be replaced by only Evernote which is freemium. Many of those apps have a free (web) alternative. I highly recommend to use open-source apps. And also never use pirated macOS apps.

So here’s my list of macOS apps I use the most:

• productivity
  • Evernote (powerful tool for me. I use it as to-do manager, note/articles/links keeper and text editor)
  • SelfControl (simply blocks distracting sites such as vk.com/twitter/instagram)
  • Skitch (whenever I need to draw some arrows, circles and text on some images I always use this app)
  • Pages (gotta switch to LaTeX soon)
  • MacPass (stores my passwords)
  • Vienna (neat RSS reader)
  • iBooks (one of the few default Apple apps I use. Awesome for reading epub books)
• dev
  • Sublime Text 3 (my favourite text editor. #TODO list of plugins I use)
  • iTerm 3 (Terminal.app replacement and must-have. Works perfect with oh-my-zsh framework for zsh shell)
  • Dash (docs with Sublime Text integration)
• social
  • TweetDeck (not using so much lately)
  • Telegram (whatsapp sucks. Telegram sucks too but not so much)
• utilities
  • smcFanControl (shows CPU temperature (i guess). Also I can control fan speed with this app)
  • Amphetamine (gets your mac not to sleep)
  • AppCleaner (nice app uninstaller)
  • Transmission (minimalistic torrent-client)
  • Alfred (default Spotlight.app replacement)
  • Dropbox (it’s worth to spend $10 for 1TB cloud storage, believe me. I store all my files in ~/Dropbox/)
  • VLC (awesome and simple media player)
  • Android File Transfer (use it when I need to transfer some files to my phone)
  • FileZilla (SSH and FTP file transfer)
• browsers
  • Chrome (default browser, sometimes laggy and hungry for my memory but it works fine)
  • Firefox (if Chrome refuses to open some site properly I use Firefox)
  • Opera (free VPN, you know. Russia, stay strong!)
  • TorBrowser (dark-net, huh?)
  • Safari (apple still can’t beat the youtube bug making macOS freeze. But Safari is well-optimized for macOS though)
• adobe
  • Photoshop (GIMP sucks, sorry)
  • Lightroom (I do some photography and this app is amazing for editing RAWs)
• music
  • VOX (player that can play music from your library, soundcloud and vk!)
  • VK320 (simple music downloader from vk.)
  • Audacity (use it to edit audio files sometimes)
  • iTunes (ID3 tag editor :\^)
