yabai

A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

For window management, my top are yabai/skhd, Rectangle, Divvy and, emmetapp. There are several others (Amethyst, etc), but those are my favorites. I'm currently using Divvy, but probably used yabai for longer than any other.

For task/app launching, LaunchBar, QuickSilver, and Butler (and of course Alfred that you already mentioned). I use LaunchBar. Alfred is probably more powerful, but LaunchBar is the snappiest for the way I use it. It's not as much about saving seconds/milliseconds as it is being able to stay in a flow.
