BSD-XFCE Installs macOS-Like XFCE Enviroment on FreeBSD

Shortcat Mimestream MailMate Rectangle
  1. Keep your hands on the keyboard and boost your productivity! Shortcat is a keyboard tool for Mac OS X that lets you 'click' buttons and control your apps with a few keystrokes. Think of it as Spotlight for the user interface.
    And well-developed third-party apps that integrate deeply into the rich macOS APIs. E.g., the other day someone posted Shortcat which provides keyboard shortcuts for every GUI application, by using macOS accessibility API (which apparently works everywhere, including in Electron apps): https://shortcat.app Another good (recent) example is Mimestream, a client for Google Mail, which is one of the best mail apps that I have ever used: https://mimestream.com Apps like that are not only a testament to the awesome indie developers in the ecosystem, but also the great APIs that make it possible to develop such application as a solo developer.

  4. Window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    MacOS is a UNIX, but it's not Linux. It doesn't use X11 or Wayland, any more than Android does. If you removed Quartz, there would be no GUI left. If that's what you want, then there is Darwin out there. https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu There have been various efforts to make it run as a standalone OS with X11: • Pure Darwin: http://www.puredarwin.org/ • Open Darwin: https://archiveos.org/opendarwin/ • Next BSD: https://github.com/NextBSD/NextBSD But they aren't much use. If you just want tiling windows, then I use Rectangle: https://rectangleapp.com/ For me that replaced Spectacle when that was discontinued: https://www.spectacleapp.com/.
