Starship (Shell Prompt) Dato Raycast Vanilla CleanMyMac X CleanShot X
  1. Starship is the minimal, blazing fast, and extremely customizable prompt for any shell! Shows the information you need, while staying sleek and minimal. Quick installation available for Bash, Fish, ZSH, Ion, and Powershell.

    Starship - A customizable cross shell prompt. I love the extra info out of the box it provides for the shell prompt.

    Better menu bar clock with calendar and time zones
    Dato - A better date app for MacOS. I also love that you can have clocks for different timezones. I have a UTC clock which is super helpful when working on a remote team with colleagues all over the planet.

  3. Fastest way to control Jira, GitHub and other web apps

    Raycast - Workflows, snippets, MacOS spotlight on steroids. I previously used Alfred, another excellent Spotlight alternative. There are plans to create a version for Linux and Windows, but they want to get it right on macOS first.

  4. Vanilla is a free Mac app that lets you hide icons from your menu bar.
    Bartender - For managing your menu bar. I used to use Vanilla, but with the notch in newer MacBook Pros, Bartender made the menubar more usable when dealing with lots of menubar icons.

  6. Capture your Mac’s screen like a PRO ⚡️
    Cleanshot X - For better screenshots and screen recordings. I've found this super useful, and the UX is great. And to top it off, there is a great editor to modify your images.
