Software Alternatives & Reviews

I'll be switching to Mac today - my laptop is old and buying a Macbook is cheaper than buying a premium Windows laptop in Brazil. I'm freaking out a little bit and need to help regarding some features that I use daily and I'm not sure if they are available on MacOs. Can anyone help me?

Rectangle Sip yabai CotEditor
  1. Window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    There's built in feature for resizing windows to left/right of the screen by hovering the green maximize button and holding option. If you need more complex resizing and keyboard shortcuts, get a utility like rectangle. If you need complex window snapping (dragging a window into a corner to resize), bettertouchtool has endless customization options for this. And if you want to have windows resize automatically, you will need a tiling window manager like yabai but that requires some configuration.

    CotEdtior and BBEdit are similar simple text editors. Sublime Text, VSCode, and such have Mac versions as well. There's also a mac exclusive text editor called Nova that's also worth a look.
