This collection does not list all of my apps, but only the apps I can recommend to everyone. BTW: I Use Apple Machines.

Mac Apps

Ideation and Design

  • Figma - Recommended Design Tool, Do You Know You Can Create Print-Documents (e.g. Invoices) with it?
  • Draw.io - Diagramming Tool (There is an online version as well)
  • Freeplane - Creates Ugly, but compact Mindmaps locally. If you need to share your Mindmaps, I recommend mindmeister (no local app yet)
  • Notion - Recommended App for Notetaking and Writing

Development

  • VSCode - Recommended Code Editor
  • Postman - API testing tool
  • Chrome - Default Browser for Development (because it has biggest market share)
  • Safari - Quite Good Option for Energy Efficient Option for Web Browsing
  • Firefox - Only for Testing (but with nostalgic feelings)
  • Edge - Finally no Virtual Maschines for IE Testing Anymore
  • Opera - Optional for Testing, but still some significant market share
  • pgAdmin - PostgreSQL Management Interface
  • SourceTree - Preferred Git GUI

Communication and Business

  • Spark - Recommended Mail App. The only thing I miss is a client-side Spam Filter
  • ToDo - Unfortunately Wunderlist Dissolved into Microsoft
  • Office 2019 - mostly for Excel and Powerpoint, a legal Lifetime-License From Ebay is a better Option than Office 365
  • Teams - Preferred Video Conference Software (Caution: If any problem check if you updated to the latest version)
  • Slack - Most Used Direct Messaging App
  • Toggl - I often miss to start Tracking and/or forgot what I worked on, but Toggl tracks granularly my activities.

Other

  • Brave - Recommended for Default Web Browsing, same features as Chrome, but without the Privacy Concerns and embedded Ad Blocker
  • Cryptomator - Additional Data Protection Layer by Encrpyting your Cloud Storage
  • Dropbox - My cloud storage, because it never failed me (I'll probably use iCloud if I am not on Android anymore).
  • KeePassXC - Open Source Password Manager without Data Sharing (I recommend Bitwarden if you need to Share Passwords Granularly)
  • CopyClip - Clipboard History Tool
  • Spotify - Music

Chrome Extensions (for Development)

Hint: Disable extensions if not needed, because they could track your web browsing quite extensively
