There's a disclaimer below for affiliate links because Input's parent company BDG might make a buck off any referrals I’m required to include it even if they don’t (again, because these apps are free). The ones that somehow stick around in my Applications folder/Launchpad are the ones I'm sharing with you.Īll of the apps I'm recommending are free. Not all of them pass my sniff test for usefulness I uninstall many. ![]() I actually enjoy installing new apps regularly and trying them out. So I'll just thank all the Twitter and Reddit users, commenters on the web, and real friends and colleagues past and present, who suggested these apps to me. I'd credit the people I first heard about the apps from, but I don’t remember who and when. These are all apps I have installed on my Macs - most of them I use daily. This is not me writing this article because my boss assigned it to me I'm writing this because I'm so sick of the absolutely unhelpful suggestions I keep seeing. I've been using Macs for almost 15 years and I've curated some pretty darn good apps that I rarely see on so many "Best Mac apps" lists. What Mac users (new and old) need is somebody who actually geeks out about finding good and, occasionally, obscure Mac apps. Thank you, but I don't need an "expert" to tell me to download Google Chrome or Slack or VLC Player. I want to ram my head into a wall whenever I see a "Best Mac apps" list because the app recommendations are almost always obvious ones. ![]()
