If you are like me you have too many icons in your menu bar. The mobile apps kind of suck and I rarely use them but it's nice to be able to snag any file off your laptop even if it's close and not online. You have 30 days of file history which is a nice fallback and they even have mobile apps to view your files. They will even send you a hard drive or USB drive in the mail with your files for free (after you return it of course). This is not the only backup tool on this list but I won't go without it.
I gives me such peace of mind to have backups of what I do. Unlimited backup for your mac for just $6/mo. (referral link, I get a free month and you get a free month but I think they give that to everyone) I really only scratch the surface of what it can do but I use it for app launching, clipboard memory (LIFE SAVER), a few workflows, keyboard shortcuts (I know Mac OS has this now but this is better), and more I'm sure I'm forgetting. The Mac OS spotlight bar has come a long way but I still can't give up Alfred. 1Password is also my repository for my drivers license, passport, SS numbers of family, software licenses, OTP's, etc. I have no idea what 99% of my passwords even are at this point, they are all random jumbles of letters, numbers, symbols that 1Password manages for me. If you aren't using some kind of password manager I urge you to try out 1Password, it had great integration with all major browsers and mobile platforms. I used Dropbox in the past for syncing but now I let 1Password sync my passwords and just pay monthly. This is my favorite password manager that I've ever tried. 😍🤤) 1Password - Paid ($3/mo individual, $5/mo family) (Also their hard drive reliability stats. I recommend Backblaze because I've used them practically since launch to secure 5+ computers over my time with them and I think highly of them as a company. The ONLY possible exception to this is my Backblaze referral link and I added it below the main link and specifically called out that it is a referral link. I would like to specify that none of these apps/services had any prior knowledge they would be on this list and I am not being compensated in ANY way for their inclusion. Some are free, some are paid, some are for work, some are for fun, and some might be window dressing I paid for that can be done for free on the command line 😉.
Therefore, here is my list of my mac apps. During this process I realized it this is far from the first time I've done this. I also am setting up a new Macbook I got from work and I have been sending my friend the apps I like and use.
I have a friend who is setting up a new Macbook for work and while this is not his first Mac it's the first he will be using as a daily driver in some time.
