iTerm2 Visual Studio Code Homebrew
  1. 1
    A terminal emulator for macOS that does amazing things.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Starting with the basics, I was expecting to use the pre-installed Terminal app for all those hacker-like movements we as developers must do to eat. However, after reading reviews I decided to install iTerm2 instead. It is fast and lightweight (as you might expect from a terminal app) but its main advantage over the Apple version is its capacity of customization.

  2. Build and debug modern web and cloud applications, by Microsoft
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Visual Studio Code: The text editor of my choice. Download it and be pleased with its capacities. However, be cautious since its web page presents you the universal verison of the app. Scroll down and download the Apple Silicon version. Furthermore, in the future Iā€™m planning to show what extensions I use, so, be tuned:D.

  3. The missing package manager for macOS
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    A packet manager (PM) is a must-have tool for developers since it makes things easier (software installation or even languages integration). The most popular one in macOS is Homebrew and its installation process is as simple as following all the steps it describes once you copy the next line in your terminal: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)".
