While I try to stick with cross platform utilities whenever possible, the list below contains both MacOS-only and cross platform tools I use daily and could not live without:
# GUI Tools
- Alacritty -- Cross platform, lightweight terminal emulator
- Rancher Desktop -- Better Docker desktop experience
- Alfred -- Replaces spotlight for me
- Amphetamine -- Keep laptop awake
- Rectangle -- Window snapping
- `notunes` -- Prevents iTunes from popping up (brew install notunes)
#CLI Tools
- Homebrew -- package manager
- `lazyvim` -- neovim with a lot of stuff pre-configured.
- `tmux` -- terminal multiplexer
- PagerDuty CLI - https://github.com/martindstone/pagerduty-cli
- Silver Searcher `ag` -- faster grep (brew intall the_silver_searcher)
- Github cli -- `gh` (brew install gh)
- `fzf` -- fuzzy finder (brew install fzf)
- `jq` and `yq` -- Parse json and yaml respectively (brew install jq yq)
