Diff files, folders, and even images with a gorgeous interface and great merge tools. Kaleidoscope No major updates (yet), but this year my favorite diff tool was acquired by Letter Opener GmbH, which hopefully means a longer life for this awesome tool. Honorable mention to MindNode ( also on Setapp), they’ve added a lot of cool stuff lately and it’s definitely a very elegant app. I’ve tried everything but I haven’t found anything that covers all the bases as well as iThoughts. If you know how much I love mind maps, that should say something.

iThoughtsX iThoughts remains my mind mapping software of choice on both Mac and iOS. It’s a complete replacement for Spotlight, and a far more capable way to search your files. HoudahSpot takes search further, and I can’t recall a time that it hasn’t allowed me to find the files I need, even when Spotlight failed me. And if you’ve relied on Spotlight for long enough, you’ve hit its limits.

HoudahSpot If you’re a Mac power user, you use Spotlight in some form or another. It allows you to create deep links between all kinds of documents, urls, even things like todo items in your task manager. Hook I can’t remember for sure if Hook was first released in 2020, but it’s become an essential workflow tool for me. A major change to UI and new features for this app that watches your folders and files and takes advanced options based on an array of criteria. Forklift I still use Finder for most basic file management, but if I’m doing anything that needs dual panes or remote servers, Forklift is fast and flawless. Firefox Other than browser testing, I’ve completely switched to Firefox. Fantastical Great updates to the best calendar app on Mac and iOS this year. It also makes removing dead air and filler words a one-click process. But the ability to search for text and edit the audio is the key feature that makes it a killer app. It has multitrack editing and compressor and other effects built in, so it can be an entire podcast editing studio. It’s a transcription app that lets you edit audio and video just by editing the text. Descript I was turned on to Descript by Merlin Mann last time he was on Systematic. Default Folder X Also recently added to Setapp, Default Folder X makes Big Sur’s save dialogs bearable for me. This year saw some big interface changes and usability improvements. Dash Now on Setapp, Dash is instant access to the docs for just about any programming language, as well as cheat sheets for things like regular expressions and git commands.
See the release notes for all the latest stuff. This is still the most flexible app for brainstorming, reference collection, rich note taking, and project management. If you want to customize your input devices, this is the ultimate app.
BetterTouchTool This app lets you do amazing things with your trackpad, keyboard, and even your Touch bar on MacBooks. The Big Sur-only beta of version 4 is amazing, too. It even has the ability to show items for a period of time when they change, so menu items that notify you of things can be temporarily visible. Hide menu items you don’t need while maintaining access to them when they are. Bartender Bartender is the ultimate app for managing the macOS menu bar. Spotify already scrobbles to Last.fm, and I haven’t had space on my desktop for album artwork lately, so having a more compact controller in my menu bar is ideal. BarRemote I previously recommended NepTunes for this kind of thing, but since I almost exclusively use Spotify when listening on my Mac, BarRemote has been my menu bar music controller of choice. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for more complete photo/illustration tools, and the price is amazing for what you get. Presented in (mostly) alphabetical order… Affinity Designer / Affinity Photo These apps have 100% replaced Adobe apps for me (Photoshop, Illustrator, respectively). If an app I mention is available on Setapp, I’ll note that in the description. Use my special link and I’ll get a little bonus when you sign up. For a low monthly price you get access to hundreds of high quality apps. Thanks for bearing with me!Ī good number of these apps are available via a Setapp subscription, so my first pick is going to be Setapp. Hopefully I’ll turn a corner on all that soon.
A combination of being (thankfully) stable with my bipolar (my manic episodes are great for blogging…) and being pretty sure my ADHD meds aren’t working anymore has led to me mostly just being able to do what’s absolutely required without a lot of room for creative pursuits. Side note: I apologize for the lack of posts this last month. Not a complete list, of course - I like a lot of things - but a good overview. Happy New Year’s Eve! As has been my tradition for almost a decade now (since 2011!), I’ve compiled some of my favorite apps and things for the last year.
