These are the ones I use the most

-TickTick for to-do (though I'm currently developing my own to-do app)

-Fig for autocomplete in the terminal

-iTerm with zsh and ohmyzsh

-f.lux for eye care

-Hazel to dim windows other than the current active

-Alfred as spotlight replacement

-CleanShotX for screenshots and recording

-CommandQ to have a timer if you accidentally hit Cmd + Q

-1Password as password manager

-aText for text shorcuts

-Menuwhere to get the menu of the current app with a shortcut

-Hookshot for window management

-ColorSlurp as color picker

-EasyFind to search for files and folder

-Calibre to read epub and ebooks and manage books library

-Contexts as window switcher (Cmd + Tab replacement)

-DaisyDisk as disk space usage calculator

-Fork as git client (Tower and GitKraken are pretty good too)

-Postman as http client

-Rocket for easy emoji access

-TinkerTool modify macOS preferences not visible in user preferences

-VLC as video player

-VOX as music player

-VS Code and JetBrains Rider for development




is there any advantage of using f.lux over the native nightshift these days?
