• Resolving the Great Undo-Redo Quandary

  For a browsable clipboard history on macOS, I recommend LaunchBar (https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/; docs at https://www.obdev.at/resources/launchbar/help/ClipboardHistory.html). I used to use the Clipboard Plugin of the free and open source app Quicksilver (https://qsapp.com/), which worked fine but was slightly less streamlined. Some people prefer Alfred (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Shortcat – Manipulate macOS masterfully, minus the mouse

  This is great. Reminds me of QuickSilver[1]. I'm evaluating HomeRow[2] for a VIM driving the Mac OS, will try this as well. I love how: a. Accessibility features are making the OS more accessible for everyone through automation b. Good the accessibility implementation is on the Mac that most applications are inherently compatible with solutions like this.

  Raycast looks good. I’m still using Quicksilver, which updated for Apple Silicon yesterday! Open source and actively community-maintained now. This update is remarkably polished. Https://qsapp.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Recommendation for app that makes the experience of macOS even better?

  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.
