Getting a mac soon, what are some of the most useful apps for work?

Rectangle Landing Page

Rectangle

Window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift.
Pricing:

I'd still recommend finding replacements parts your workflow if you were accustomed to them on windows. Apps like rectangle give you snap windows which is probably the biggest pain point coming from windows.

MacMenuBar

A curated directory of 200+ Mac menu bar apps

With that said, switching from Windows to macOS, the menu bar is extremely powerful and is similar to the “system tray” on Windows, but actually useful. So much so, there is a website called Mac Menu Bar dedicated to apps for it.
