Currently Using
-
Brave Browser #browser
- A great balance between performance and features;
- Built-in ad blocking and excellent vertical tabs;
- Comes with many Web3-related buttons, but they can be disabled;
-
ChatWise #chatbox
- In my opinion, the best choice for a native macOS UI experience;
-
Dory #switcher
- Similar to rcmd, but with a cleaner feel;
-
Ghostty #terminal emulator
- Comparable to WezTerm; minimalist and easy to configure;
-
Updatest #updater
- An app updater that helped me migrate many of my apps to Homebrew management;
-
NetNewsWire #rss
- A native, cross-platform RSS reader for macOS/iOS; clean, smooth, and feature-sufficient;
-
Velja #browser picker
- Automatically routes URLs to the appropriate browser based on custom rules;
Watching
-
Helium Browser #browser
- A privacy-first alternative to the Chrome behemoth, though it lacks vertical tabs;
-
wezterm #terminal emulator
- The stable version hasn't been updated in a long time; the novelty has worn off😁;
-
Latest #updater
- Free and open-source, but lacks the advanced features of the paid Updatest;
-
Orion #browser
- A WebKit-based browser; unfortunately, it's currently too buggy and updates are slow;
-
Zed #editor
- A high-performance editor built in Rust; its extensibility and customization still lag behind VS Code;
