Not best mac apps, but Mac utilites for Macbook Pro, But Tier List, or any other but app like that. This is a Mac app / Apple Macbook of prodctivity ulitities like Alfred or Raycast to install and use in 2024.

I got an email from Apple saying that scrolling back up to SMASH the like button adds an extra hour to your battery life
it really worked :)
nice offer but the battery already lasts like 10 hours on the M1 Pro 16" Macbook Pro...
What cursor package are you using ? I really liked the one you were using but can’t find it. Do you have a link to find it ?? Thank you.
Fair enough
like that's ever gonna happen (Just a joke)
Yes but Raycast is absolute S tier for me personally
YUP
is it free
Apps that Raycast can replace:
- Alfred
- Rectangle
- Maccy
- Calculator
- Keeping You Awake
- Espanso
I was also kinda stubborn to use Raycast. But it just makes sense. It can basically replace many other apps you're using and more. Control spotify, run brew commands, run shell commands, set up a timer, the list goes on.
I only use the free features since most of the paid ones are AI related, and those things I manage myself with apis.
But even the pricing model makes sense. You pay them for more features. They provide said features, and the developers of app-replacing extensions get a cut. It's kind of like that Setapp approach of being an app aggregator, but it's not even apps, just extensions.
Raycast being free is a cheat code imo. Ever since I've started using it it's just been so consistently efficient I think I couldn't use my MacBook without it. The fact you can set up shortcuts for the extensions commands is also so convenient because those shortcuts are triggered no matter what you're doing
@Blue_N3on by that measure we shouldn't even be watching this video
@@LautaroLosio Not necessarily. There are better ways to watch RUclips that don’t allow Google to make you the product.
this
too laggy, Alfred is better imo
As a Windows user who has never used a Mac, I watched this video till the end. IDK if that's a calling for something.
Edit: Now have a Mac, and now looking back on this video for suggestions on what to download lmao.
lol, I came here after I got access to a MacBook Pro, exactly a month ago!
Pirating Adobe products is more ethical, than subscribing to them - change my mind
i loved the reference he made lmao
just tell me where to do it.

But you can sync Obsidian between your Apple devices using iCloud Drive 👀 It’s not as good as the official sync option, it’s a solid 8/10
What is the difference between the add on and iCloud sync??
@@samuelfresneda7771 if you mean the official Obsidian Sync vs iCloud Drive, then the main difference are basically:
1. the way the files sync (by using iCloud, you’re limited to the way iCloud Drive syncs - only on WiFi and also open yourself up to a potential of file overrides - by modifying the same file on your Mac and iPhone at the same without an internet connection)
2. the speed of synchronisation could be slower (but that hasn’t been an issue for me personally)
3. you have more granular control of what actually syncs by using the Obsidian sync ;)
(There’s an added bonus - you’ll support the devs)
Hope this helps!
You can use syncthing
Syncing via git works well
or github or similiar
the whisky app is absolutely s tier and almost nobody knows about it

Oh my! Your sponsor was the first useful ad I ever saw on RUclips, as I was looking for such an app since I started using a Mac!
so good to hear that you finally got a sponsor
he had other sponsers like the battery sponsor I forgot the name but I purchased the battery
and a very good one, al dente is a fantastic app, even the free version is good enough.
Seeing Raycast being placed in C tier instantly makes me consider this tier list as D tier
seeing an app like cleanshot get instantly denied from S tier because it has a subscription... then premire pro and photoshop get S tier even though they have a subscription.... lol make it make sense
Seeing him put fcp or DaVinci in c tier because he doesn’t use it, then immediately putting audacity in s tier but doesn’t use it made me consider this a d tier before he even got to raycast
I love these types of videos so much. Your editing is phenomenal too. Have you thought about making a similar video, but for Chrome extensions? I think that would be a great idea.
14:15 f6 (the moon icon) turns on your focus mode, helpful to quickly toggle do not disturb
i don't really need to see those videos cuz I already know like 99% of those apps, but your sense of humour and edits give me joy every time. THANKS! :)
p.s.: dato is an amazing calendar app for the menu bar
Great list and up to date really great video thank you!
it was absolutely amazing, thanks for your great review!
I love your small reviews in big way ❤😊
Putting homebrew in B tier should be a war crime, it is honestly probably the best thing for us programmers
Not having Brew on Mac is like not having “apt” or “yum” on Linux!
Da Vinci on C and Premiere on top? Oh, goodbye...😢
DaVinci Resolve is a game changer. Along the line it will save you time and money. S Tier
Been on Mac for a little over a year, and it's kind of crazy how many great "power user" apps there are for Mac OS. I miss a lot of them when I work on a Windows machine. I'm surprised about the lack of apps like this, and customizability available on Windows considering the much bigger user base.
because Windows does not have most of the problems that all these apps solve. Windows has other problems lol
@@radi-travisscottypebeatSure, but there are still limitations on Windows that these Mac apps give you. I believe I could have been more productive on Windows if they were available on there.
i use windows and linux and still enjoyed your video.
Life saver, thank you so much
This is such a great, useful video, thank you so much!!! You've earned that sub! Also, a tiny suggestion would be to have the name of the app/thing you're talking about pop up when you're talking about it, it's sometimes hard to know which app you're talking about otherwise
Arc is S tier IMO.
Ya Arc is great, Raycast is great
😂😂 S Tier on draining your battery and eating up your RAM. Seriously, aesthetics-wise it looks incredible, but that’s about where the compliments end. It’s resource-hungry, and the scrolling being locked to 60Hz while in Safari you can take full advantage of those 120Hz in ProMotion screens is just the last nail in the coffin. D Tier for sure.
Arc is overrated af
Bro has seen only old version of Arc
Bro has never seen Google Chrome RAM Usage 💀🙏
very satisfying video tbh
just found your content, so useful especially betterdisplay i was gonna buy a $70 dongle for my MacBook air so that i could at least not smell the pixels on my gaming monitor...thank you Bog🙏🙏
I didn't know like any 3rd party Mac apps before this vid, so I'm glad I watched! Informative and kept my attention with the little jokes and fast pace. Though I have to say, a lot of these can already be done by built-in macOS features, or at least close enough. I'm definitely going to look more into BetterDisplay because I use a 1440p monitor with my MacBook sometimes and it'd be great to have a crisper image.
Transmission is a better torrent client for Mac
bro, i love your videos
Cheers!
0:51 this is the best intro that all youtubers should use 😂
You are the only channel I found that actually makes interesting and helpful tech vids.
I fucking hate the common advice whenever I am looking for something to improve my PC experience, like when I search for ways to make my Mac slightly quicker and they tell me to close unnecessary apps to save RAM or something like that💀
Nice vid, btw I don’t use anymore obsidian but you can sync notes if you save them on iCloud
Thanks!!
What is the ERROR app you didn't review it
Garry’s Mod? 😂
What a list!
Great vid❤

I'm not sure that the Pages-Word comparison comes out fair here. Sure, MS Word is more powerful, but a lot of that power is used in niche implementations that most people won't ever use. How often do you need to do a mail merge, for instance? When I compare core experience, Pages comes out a LOT better than MS Word does. The issue, of course, is that Word is the industry standard, so working with Pages almost always involves a conversion if you're collaborating. But it's pretty stellar at that.
my replacements for some of this apps:
1 Maccy: PasteNow. Same thing, but more powerful.
2 Alfred: Raycast. It may not be more powerful, but it's more beautiful.
3 Cleanshot: iScreen Shoter. Less functions, but one killer feature. what is happening on the screen stops immediately after a shortcut is pressed.
4 Numi: Soulver 3. Same thing, but more powerful.
5 Yoink: more convenient alternative (imho)
Raycast is more and more powerful 🤣
I don't think you understood the assignment. This would be much more useful if you focused on your favorite apps in every class. Anything you said "I don't really use this" it should not be included.
Replaced Alfred with Raycast, never looked back.
5:59 I guess you did know that you CAN sync your obsidian free by using your existing iCloud storage across your apple devices. It is possible.
Yep!
Just intended to ring the bell, then I noticed your channel already is. I love your medium sized bits of recommendations so much and your work made it so much easier for me when Ive switched from 30 years of Windows. Thanks! ♥ One follow-up question: At 11:00 you mention the app Middle Click. Does it work when clicking on a RUclips preview link in SafarI? I am way too deep into BTT customisation, so I don't wanna try anything that could mess up my settings haha
Ayee cheers! Sadly it doesn't work when you click on the RUclips preview and that screws with my muscle memory very much
@@bogxd Yikes, alright. It’s the same issue with BetterTouchTool… though I could make it work in 90% of the time (which still screws one’s muscle memory). Thanks again for your great and humorous content!
I've been waiting for so long for this vid.......
Is that sarcastic?
no
@@Enderamen
Bro this is pure gold. Maybe some ppl disagree with tier list but the apps shown ? Sheez
Cheers!
WHYYY WHEN I AM IN SCHOOL BUT STILL NEW VIDEO DROPPEEEDD!!
7:04 i hated that accidental slip clipped lol 😂
I'm the same with browsers. Always a feature or two missing from whichever is used. Currently back to Edge after it got support for iCloud keychain :D
Are you aware that screen recording is an OS feature in sonoma ?... command + shift + 5 enables you to record the entire screen or a portion. No need for an app to do any screenshotting or screen recording (so quicktime is irrelevant too...)
4:16 Just for this Im subscribing😂
Brew in the B tier? Are you daft??? A tier if you want FireFox and other software. It is essential!
Exactly. I stopped the video and started looking for this comment once I saw him putting Homebrew in B tier lol
I noticed you mentioned obsidian doesn't sync with your mac for free - there is a workaround for this. You can create your vault on icloud and boom you've got free sync now since you can open vault from your preferred location.
I'm gonna be honest I use obsidian because it supports LateX only. I can export .pdf files for my classes with native mathematical equations in them, without having to use a complete LateX editor. I plan on learning how the LateX editors work over the summer before I transfer.
Great video.
Thanks!
Alfred has also clipboard history support.
spotify in b tier is a horrendous opinion
Keeping windows alive is hardware flexibility and prices
Alfred remembers the operation too. You just tap up and it shows you the previous operations.
5:55 you can use sync over icloud, i do that with the free 5gb of icloud that you get
Your videos make me want to learn more manim
6:08 actually you can , i think its a bug or something but thank God they didn’t fix it, all u have to do is create the vault from the iphone and save in icloud ( haven’t tried w/other clouds ) and that’s it , u can open it in any other apple device and sync everything
I think UTM should replace Parellels, because it is free, and it might include more VMs to try
Do you use mouse or trackpad while editing photoshop? If mouse which one is it?
Keyboard Maestro deservers a honorable mention
For me it is a must-have app, I use it everyday and almost everytime to control macros and it includes a Clipboard history as well and I know it has more features
As a developer, Homebrew in B tier made me cry
Homebrew is typically used by us developers and computer science engineering students
16:59 - Drinking beer on the job indeed ;)
If you are a professional who uses way to many tabs open and you manage tons of information every day, Arc would be an easy S tier for you
Thanks for this brilliant list. The clock app link doesn't work tho. can you share that?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! It's the default clock app already pre-installed on every Mac, I believe there's no link from where you can download it.
clipboard try paste it's life saving for me
The default calculator app is actually not bad, on the menu bar you can set some settings end even convert units or save the calculations as bill
You can do use raycast for window management too tho
Arc browser and raycast really changed how I use macOS personally speaking
Good video but you forgot about two important apps: Sleeve (music widget) and Pandan (discrete session timer)
Mac user since 1999, and FF user (charged with privacy apps) for the last 10 years, Safari is great and quick but not as safe. The vid is a good one. PS I can't live without my photo -video editors lol
I use obsidian on both iPhone and my Mac and sync them for free by moving my library into iCloud and syncing across both devices.
BetterDisplay changed my life!!! My eyes immediately felt relief. thank you so much!
Cheers!
You can sync obsidian with iphone for free, just needs a little bit of setting up work with either git or icloud
And obsidian is like 100 times better than apple notes, would definitely switch them
Arc isn’t B tier, arc is excellent, I will put arc in A tier
Yes, VLC is a great player and can play a lot of different formats, but VLC can't go frame by frame backwards, which is just not understandable... I think there is a thread on the forum of VLC where people are asking for this feature for years now and one dev constantly complains that this is technically not possible etc.... where IINA and other players already have this functionality for years.
Man, the joke of adobe was FUCKING GOOD. I was 5 seconds thinking what?. And then I rubbed laughing to my girlfriend who also laughed but because I was laughing really hard 😂
lol, nice
which theme do you use for mousek?
bro discovered a way to procrastinate procrastinating
ALDENTE MAMAMIA THEY SPONSORED YOU
You can sync obsidian notes with iCloud, that’s how I do it :D there’s a great community plugin for it
That's interesting, I was thinking of using a private repo on Github to store all my notes. (Still stuck to Notion but I want to switch to Obsidian lol)
Time Stamps & links to apps
The thumbnail for sure brought me here.
Doesn't Aldente do a weekly full discharge, which hurts it more than the default clamshell battery management?
MPV is literally the best video player on every single platform.
I’m gonna try MACCY over Raycast for clipboard manager. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Why would you? I used to use maccy before but then switched to raycast. And I think raycast just feels so much nicer to use
5:39 that’s completely true 😂
D tier tierlist. Outdated, generic, and for someone who says they prefer free software, you really haven't gone out of your way to discover FOSS or even proprietary free software. It makes sense that you don't find homebrew very useful.
Could you do RayCast vs Alfred (current alfred user might switch to raycast)
i switched to arc browser more than a year back... haven't looked back since
cant find the file shelf app anywhere so if anyone finds it please drop the link
I love how your ranking logic makes absolutely no sense
Obsidian can sync using a vault located in your iCloud Drive for free
Btw f6 on mac turns on do not disturb by default
I have a feeling you partake in watch reviews lol
AltTab in C broke my hearth. For me should be on the top. Also is free lol
