Lark
Believe it or not, the first recommendation is Lark. It's currently the most comfortable project management tool Iโve used. Lark Docs alone surpass many software in terms of functionality and experience. Now, Lark also supports a personal version. No more thumbs up.
Besides documents, Lark also supports email, video calls, etc, all in one. It also has some handy features like OCR (image to text), video recording, GIF recording, and a very useful "scrolling screenshot" feature for capturing long images without hassle.
Arc
My main browser has switched from Chrome to Arc. Arc's multi-space feature solves my long-standing pain points. It automatically closes expired tabs, supports full screen, looks great, and has smooth interactions. Arc is worth having.
Grammarly
When writing issues or drafting, and worrying about grammar mistakes, Grammarly Desktop comes in handy. Basic grammar checks are free, but for polishing and AI features, you need to pay.
Snipaste
When switching from Windows to Mac, Snipaste was a constant companion. Its pinning feature is very useful.
App Cleaner & Uninstaller
App Cleaner & Uninstaller is great for strong software uninstallation, leaving no traces behind.
Runcat
Watching a cat run continuously in the menu bar can be quite entertaining. Runcat allows you to see current CPU usage in the menu bar, and the more the CPU is used, the faster the cat runs.
Activate Mac
A small, idle widget similar to "Activate Windows" on Windows, Activate Mac displays "Activate macOS" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
OBS
For professional recording, especially if you need to record live streams or handle heavy-duty tasks, OBS is the go-to choice. However, for lighter recording needs, you can use Larkโs GIF recording feature.
