I started with TextExpander for text replacement stuff, and later switched to Typinator, which is less expensive with more features (e.g. replacement with regular expressions). Still, it's limited to text expansion, so Keyboard Maestro already has a leg up by allowing system-level stuff as well. Definitely going to check that out and some of the others as well!
MacOS has a "text replacement" feature you can use from inside the Keyboard System Preference panel. Those are then sync'd across all of your connected devices.
Similar to Raycast I've used Alfred for a long time as a Spotlight alternative - can anyone who's used both recommend one over the other? I had never heard of Raycast until now but it does look interesting.

Raycast has both the windows positioning and clipboard history functionality
and it even has the advantage of OCR and also keeping up to 3 months history on the free tier.

Windows also have almost all these features inbuilt 🤩🤩
Thanks James, excellent content as always, and just when I needed it. I'm switching to Mac after 20+ years on windows as we speak.
Ah so cool! It's a bit of a transition but well worth it I think :)

Oh interesting. I'll have to check that out!
Also I love these types of videos! I'm always looking for new utility apps and tools!
Yeahhh!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I've started using Moom for window management because I couldn't ever remember the shortcuts for Magnet!
hahah you can customize them if you want but glad you found something that works!
i'm yabai guy (and I love it), haven't tried magnet yet :)

I've heard lots of good things about alfred myself, but never really used it
Cool 🤩
5 essential _Mac_ utility apps. (Mentioned at 0:20)
fig is great; others are not useful to me
Linux desktop by default includes all five of them and much more
So devs using linux is already 100% faster 😂
