  2. Power through the day without your calendar
    Superpowered - Gives me a great calendar widget in the taskbar that provides notifications 10min & 1min ahead of upcoming meetings. Also allows you to join meetings with keyboard shortcuts (Command+Y & Command+J). Just note that they implemented some REALLY crappy spam-marketing stuff that can email meeting participants on your behalf - make sure you disable that in the settings immediately.

  4. A remote control for you Mac, using your iPhone or iPad
    BetterTouchTool - I miss snapping windows more than anything else on a PC. This app allows you to do that, as well as add AMAZING customizations to your touch bar (if your mac has one). The app (link) that only offers snap-functionality is $2.99. There might be a free version out there, but this developer has done great work on BetterTouchTool which I got ages ago so I'm happy to support.
