Just a tip on app cleaner: there's an option called smart delete under settings that kicks in the clean up process automatically when you delete an app without you having to open the app + drag and drop
You didn't mention it but one of my favorites is Scroll Reverser. If you use both a trackpad and mouse this allows you to control the scrolling direction for each independently.
I got my first MacBook a month ago and couldn't believe this crap! Wtf? Lol. How did apple never get feedback that people don't want to use the mouse and the track pad with the same scroll direction?
Man, this is by far the most useful Mac recommendation apps video I've ever come across on RUclips. I'm a minimalist and I can't tell you the number of times I have to always clear up my desktop. Hidden Me will come in very handy. Thanks a lot!
Great list, i'd like to add these apps as well: 1. Clipy - free 2. Shottr - free 3. ALDente -paid 4. NightFall - free 5. DarkNight -free 6. App Tamer -paid 7. NearDrop - still in early phase, but has potential
If I may, this list could be tasty indeed, were you to include a brief description of what each app does. I could be wrong, but I suspect I'm not alone in feeling reluctant to go hunting each one not knowing if it's applicable to my needs and habits. Thanks for your consideration!
You are 100% correct on how many times you install an app based on a review and then deleting it after a few days of never ever using it. The apps that I find I can't live without are Wipr, Darkreader for Safari, AltTab and Rectangle.
Rectangle is one of my favorite app for Mac. Simple yet effective, makes my workflow much easier. And thanks for the recommendations, loved your video!
I've been using Rectangle for more than 5 years, but recently I found a better alternative: Raycast with Window Management extension (one of built-in extensions). Also Raycast itself is a much better alternative to Alfred
Great set of tools. Rectangle is super nice. On a note, Elephas AI is one of the cool AI tools for Mac that you may want to include. There are other AI tools like MacGPT, but Elephas supports customizing AI with users' data.
I love rectangle and bartender! I often find myself needing to split screen or resize windows and it just makes it so much easier to do that. Also, bartender is pretty much essential for the m2 macbooks because of the notch hiding all the other icons.
Every time a new version of MacOS drops I ask “did Apple finally figure out window management?” Nope. Too hard for them, I guess. Oh well, at least there are third-party apps.
@@stillmattwest Apple has a ton of money so Microsoft is much more willing to litigate with them. With Linux distros there is no money to be had so why bother. I don’t have definitive evidence of this, compared to I have read that there are patent issues.
Raycast replaces Alfred, Rectangle and others, trust me. I still use Alfred because I bought the lifetime license but Raycast is becoming way more powerful. My favorite from your list is Bartender 4, love it!
I was coming in the comment to write exactly that 😂 Raycast has been a life changer for my productivity and eliminating so many little apps with it. It’s truly Alfred on steroids and way more powerful and customizable until your heart’s content 😀
@@yashashgaurav There's basically no setup to Raycast. You install it and it starts teaching you how to use it. Then, it's just a matter of going into the app's Settings and Store to discover commands and features that are useful to you. Alfred has some deep stuff around automation that I'm not sure Raycast is able to do, but for 99% of people, Raycast has every useful Alfred feature, for free, and with a much nicer user experience.
I absolutely love Rectangle. A fantastic app. Not only short cut keys, but you can drag the windows to the corners of the monitor for resizing and placement
in addition, I'd like to highly recommend 2 of my favorites: 1) CleanShot X - it's an app for making and instant editing screenshots, screen video recordings, and GIFs - PAID, but it is worth it! 2) DeepL - it's an ML-powered app for translations. You select some text and press Cmd+C+C (like a copy but press C 2 times) and it will immediately open a window with the selected text, translated to any pre-selected language. - FREE
@@Christomshack btw, there is one more - CopyClip - it stores some amount (it's configurable) of your recently copied text - pretty useful if you need to copy one by one, e.g., 3 text lines from one app into another. For not to switch between apps 3 times you could just copy that lines one by one, then switch to another app and paste them from the app's tray icon
Really good video! Tempbox seems to be cool! Thanks. Here are some alternatives: Raycast (free) - Alfred Raycast (Window Management Extension) - Rectangle Raycast (Clipboard History Extension) - CopyClip Hidden Bar (free) - Bartender BetterDisplay - MonitorControl
Man, what a great video and list. So input for you / others: - I love HiddenMe, use it for the exact reason you mentioned. Although it has been a bit buggy for me; I find I have to relaunch it pretty often. - Hidden Bar: which seems pretty similar to Bar Tender; pretty sure it's free. - Moom: another window organizer, super powerful. - Ejectify: I use a MacBook on a docking stating with an external drive attached - this helps automatically eject the drive when I put the machine to sleep, thus cutting down on those irritating "didn't eject drive before disconnecting" notifications. - Amphetamine: another good task bar utility that keeps the machine awake, just in case you're running a task that you want to be sure doesn't get interrupted. I don't use it often, but it's great when you need it. One last thought: I don't understand Alfred!! Seems kind of unnecessary to me. Maybe I need to give it another try?
Greatly appreciate the reccs! I will check out those apps this week. Alfred settings are unnecessarily complex, soI’m with you. If you’re interested, checkout my latest video on Alfred! It goes over Alfred setup, several extremely powerful features, and I’m even giving away 5 PowerPack licenses for the app in the video. I guarantee it will help smoothen the learning curve and you’ll be using Alfred more often 🤝🏼
My favourite macOS app is Keyboard Maestro. And lately I've acquired the Stream Deck app which runs on both macOS and iOS which means I can turn my iPhone into a Stream Deck simulator. By the way, these two apps are designed to work together, so I can use KM to control the SD app icons.
WAS a long time Alfred user. Tried the latest Raycast, and it's in a whole different and better world. The Pro version with built-in AI (ChatGPT) is great. Many, many more extensions and it's getting rapid release features. Alfred by comparison is old, barely any new features, and the UI IMHO looks terrible. I tried Raycast when it first launched a couple of years ago and went back to Alfred. But last month I tried Raycast again, loved it so much, I immediately bought Pro and dumped Alfred in the trashcan. Haven't missed it since.
Rectangle is definitely my favorite. I just got my first MacBook Air(M1 base model) and on my (linux) desktop i use a tiling window manager so it felt very natural moving over.
"Rectangle" is the best app according to me because I am student and I often have to do multitasking but in apple one two windows can be opened so if I use rectangle for that purpose it will be easier for me to multitask and switch between windows while coding in VS Code and designing new using Xcode and also to check the webpage designed. Thank you for posting this video this is really helpful for me or students like me.
I love the recommendations. I’ve downloaded Alfred before but I found it a little confusing with all the settings and I didn’t feel it did anything more than spotlight does. I’m probably using it wrong. But I’ll give it another shot.
It’s definitely confusing at first with all the features/settings it has. I’m actually almost finished with a video walkthrough of the best Alfred workflows and shortcuts for productivity to help everyone get the most out of it. As soon as I get over this gnarly case of Covid it will get finished and uploaded. Also giving away 5 PowerPack plans in the video 🤝
Hey Chris, I would pick Monitor Control, it's extremely useful with a second display, and in case you didn't know, it works also if you are connected to a tv at work in meeting rooms
Appreciate your videos, they have helped me with setting up my laptop as a first time mac user. Love the Alfred app, but the most useful app for me is probably going to be the Cheatsheet app to learn all necessary shortcuts. Your channel is a hidden gem, great videos!
I think the app swish is doing a better job at window managment, than rectangle especially when you don't use a mouse and just the trackpad. You can manage your windows through swipe gestures and I just love this app.
I love betterDisplay for my M1 Pro. I can use it (pro version with one Time payment) to make use of the higher nits of the internal display and can also change the brightness and contrast settings of the external display very easily. Which is great since changing it on the monitor itself is quite the hassle!
This was really insightful and helpful information. Thank you for taking the time to research and present the material in such a handy way. Can't wait to try these out!

I have been using Magnet for a few years already. Something like that is a must
Trueeee
Since apple released Stagemanager I just don’t use it that often anymore.
Rectangle lacks of ability to change focus between windows and trust me if u have lot of them its bullshit
Finally, a Mac tutorial that is actually useful and doesn't make me feel stupid. Thank you, and greetings from the UK.

Great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to comment
Alfred is easily my favorite
I love my Alfred app. Have been using it for years.
I prefer better snap over rectangle. Snapping is amazing.
Alfred is my favorite app..the best ever app needed to be more productive!!!!
Haven't used Alfred for a while so thanks for the reminder
