    Shottr is a free macOS screenshot app with scrolling screenshots, OCR, annotation and measurement instruments.
    One area I'm not yet comfortable recommending an app for yet is for screen shots. I've used Shottr, but I can't say it better than any other, so I'm currently trying out Xnip.

  2. Window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Apps that can sell themselves: Numi - a way better calculator. Meeter – gives you a timer in your toolbar to showcase your next meeting, you can also easily join the meetings. Bartender – Tidy up your toolbar. Hidden Bar is a free alternative Magnet – Snap windows in place. Rectangle is a free alternative. I just happened to get Magnet. Ryan Hanson is the developer for Magnet, but also Hyperkey. He has some more interesting apps that I'm yet to try out. Checking out his work might be worth some time. Dropover – Effortlessly drag and drop files. Creates a temporary box to hold your files while navigating to where you want to drop them. Pure Paste – Can automatically remove formatting from what you copy, which I believe has annoyed everyone at some point.

  7. Fastest way to control Jira, GitHub and other web apps
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I'll also recommend Raycast as an alternative to Alfred. It's like Alfred on steroids. It also has the ability to add extensions that can be developed with a bit of programming knowledge.

  8. The missing package manager for macOS
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Two must-haves I’d like to see make the list: 1. Homebrew, an apt-like package Manager for macOS. Makes it easy to install, update and manage applications. 2. Caffeinated, a small utility to prevent your Mac from going to sleep.
