The Best HIDs for the Mac
HID stands for human interface device. This usually refers to keyboards and mice but can refer to anything that lets you provide inputs to a computing device.
I use the term HID rather than simply saying "keyboard and mouse" because the best HIDs for the Mac aren't a keyboard and mouse: The best HIDs for the Mac are a keyboard and trackpad.
The Mac has evolved a lot over the years, and so has its HIDs. There was a time where mice on the Mac only had a single clickable button in contrast to the PC's two: left mouse button and right mouse button.
I don't know if the Mac did this to differentiate itself from the PC or because Apple had done the hard work of researching to all hell mice and determined that an extra mouse button was superfluous. It might have been both.
While the Mac works very well with a variety of HIDs from third-parties, the best HIDs for the Mac are first-party HIDs, which is to say Apple HIDs.
The Best Keyboard for the Mac
While I enjoy a mechanical keyboard as much as the next nerd, the best keyboard for the Mac is one of the Magic Keyboards with Touch ID. There's a model with a Numeric Keypad and one without. Take your pick. I prefer the one with the Numeric Keypad because it has a Numeric Keypad but also because you can get it with black keys.
You can try to live your life without Touch ID, and while you might be able to accomplish much without it, Touch ID on a purchasable keyboard was a big deal for me when it came out. I had been waiting for Apple to create one for years as a Mac mini user, where BYOK (Bring your own keyboard) was the philosophy. This unlocks Apple Pay directly on your Mac without needing an iPhone or other device with biometrics (Face ID or Touch ID). Additionally and obviously: It lets you unlock your Mac or several applications that would normally require a password. Very cool.
The Best Mouse Trackpad for the Mac
We aren't going to talk about the Magic Mouse 2. And the reason why we aren't going to talk about it is because you can't charge it and use it at the same time, which is a ridiculous and indefensible design decision. Shame on you, Apple.
This leaves us with the Magic Trackpad. In 2024, it's technically the Magic Trackpad 2. The original Magic Trackpad was grey and took 2 x AA batteries and worked great. I liked it a lot; but the Magic Trackpad 2, while being rechargeable, also comes in Black, with a wider surface, feels silky smooth, and comes equipped with Force Touch, giving you more versatility in the input commands you can provide. Plus, as a flex: It has no moving parts. You aren't actually clicking it when you press down, it's just providing force feedback to simulate a click. Groovy.
I find it fascinating that an HID normally designed for laptops would make its way to the desktop and would become the best way to interact with your Mac. I supplement the functionality of the Magic Trackpad with the application BetterTouchTool, which lets you program additional gestures than those available in macOS. With the amount of gestures I can make on the Magic Trackpad, I never once feel like I'm less productive than with a mouse. I say this as someone who rocked a Logitech gaming mouse on the Mac for years specifically because I wanted to be able to do more with my HID. While I won't be gaming with the Magic Trackpad anytime soon (I think Minecraft was vaguely playable with it), I much prefer the touch and feel of the Magic Trackpad.

The Beauty of Being Able to Do Stuff on My Mac With One Hand
I get that it sounds shady, or like a great accessibility story, when I talk about being able to use my Mac one-handed. But it’s neither. Allow me to explain!
My default mode for using my Mac …
… is with my right hand on the trackpad, and my left in the home row position – for instance like this:
Here I'm on my couch, with a laptop tray in my lap. More on this later.
I totally get that both hands on the keyboard is the default for many. And I’m there quite a lot as well, and love keyboard-driven software. But, for some reason, the tasks I’m doing call for the above even more.
So I’ve optimised my Mac to be able to do a lot with only that left hand on the keyboard, and only that right hand on the trackpad.
My office setup.
I really like the Magic Trackpad, as I can have the “desktop” setup be really similar to the laptop one. I do have a gaming mouse at the ready – but if I had to use a mouse, I guess I would try to recreate as much as possible on the Magic Mouse.1
The right hand and trackpad
I’ve used BetterTouchTool (and some default options) to have the trackpad be extra useful. (I can also recommend Swish, even though it doesn’t fit what I want to do with the trackpad.)
Here are the main gestures I’ve set up, and that work in “every” program:
I like both Exposé and Mission Control, so these are four-finger swipes up and down.
Four fingers to the right is New Tab,
and four fingers to the left is Close Tab.
Three fingers to the left and right move between tabs.
Three fingers down will give me the menu from the menu bar where my mouse is (via the app Menuwhere). This is especially nice on big monitors.
One-finger tap is obviously Left Click, and two-finger tap is Right Click. But I’ve also set it up so three-finger tap is Middle Click (like pressing down on a mouse wheel)– which will open links in new tabs in browsers.
Three-finger click will send Cmd+R, to refresh stuff.
While browsing, it’s just so smooth to be able to three-finger tap a link to open something in the background, then (when I want to check it out) just tree-finger swipe to change the tab, three-finger click to refresh it (if needed), and then four-finger swipe to close it when I’m done. Especially while chilling with the laptop in my lap (as God intended), it’s really underrated to have a great browsing experience with one hand! Also neat while drinking coffee. 👌🏻
The left hand and keyboard shortcuts
The two main things I’ve optimised for here, are opening apps and window management. I also use Paste quite a lot (with its paste stack feature). To be able to do this, I’ve had to set up a lot of custom hotkeys. And to have them not conflict with the default ones, most of them use two “modifier keys” that aren’t used normally:
The ✦ Hyper key (Shift+Control+Option+Command)
The ¬_¬ Meh key (Shift+Control+Option)
I’ve used Karabiner-Elements to set it up so holding Caps Lock gives me ✦ Hyper, and holding (not tapping) R or U gives me ¬_¬ Meh.
I’m mostly using Raycast 🖇️ to actually set the specific hotkeys (including launching shortcuts).
¬_¬ Meh
This key is used only to launch apps. For instance, I used ¬_¬ + W to open the terminal Warp 🖇️. However, I’m currently using Ghostty – but I’ve kept the same hotkey. So that’s why some make sense, and others don’t.
Here are my current hotkeys:
¬_¬ + 1 = 1Password
¬_¬ + W = Ghostty
¬_¬ + E = Apple Notes
¬_¬ + R = Finder
¬_¬ + T = Telegram
¬_¬ + Y = Tot
¬_¬ + U = Ulysses
¬_¬ + I = Photos.app
¬_¬ + O = Obsidian
¬_¬ + P = Paper
¬_¬ + A = Tidal
¬_¬ + D = Affinity Designer
¬_¬ + F = Zen
¬_¬ + L = Trello
¬_¬ + Z = Zed (or Nova)
¬_¬ + C = Shortcuts.app
¬_¬ + B = Bike
¬_¬ + N = NotePlan
¬_¬ + M = Mail.app
¬_¬ + , = System Settings.app2
Now, one can, of course, also open apps with a launcher and typing – but that requires two hands to be done effectively. And you can also use Cmd+Tab or something similar – but it’s just much faster to immediately launch (or switch focus to) the app you want with a single stroke.
✦ Hyper
This key is both used for window management (which I go more into here and here) and for more general global hotkeys.3
When it comes to window management, I’ve (sort of) made a grid under my left hand:
✦ + W = Top Left
✦ + E = Top Right
✦ + A = Left Half
✦ + S = Fullscreen
✦ + D = Right Half
✦ + Z = Bottom Left
✦ + X = Bottom Right
As you can probably understand, I can rapidly launch the app I want, and then place it where I want:
Some other uses of the ✦ Hyper key:
✦ + V = Activate Paste
✦ + C = Activate TextSniper
✦ + I = Blog image uploader shortcut
✦ + N = A new document from Bike shortcut I’ve made
✦ + P = Launching Raycast AI chat
✦ + Ø = Run a (low-creativity) English grammar check on the selected text (Claude)
✦ + Æ = Run a similar Norwegian check (Claude)
✦ + Å = Define the selected word, with examples of use (Claude)
Try it for yourself!
I can strongly recommend setting up (at least some of) this for yourself. The easiest parts are the Hyper key (with something simple like this) (with a bunch of Raycast hotkeys) and some trackpad gestures in BetterTouchTool:
I’ve added some as global gestures (like four-finger swipe right sending Cmd+T), while others (like changing tab) needs to be set per app. But as long as you have a backup of the setup, it’s really a set-and-forget-thing!
Some feedback I’d love to get:
Have you tried any parts of my setup?
Do you have a similar setup yourself?
Is Swish working for you?
Or doesn’t this make sense to you at all? (Maybe because you’re more of an all-keyboard person?)
The other main reason I don’t want to use a regular mouse, is that I dislike when horizontal scrolling is much worse than vertical ↩︎
Shout-out to those of you who get why this is a great shortcut. ↩︎
But not that fullscreen. I’m not a psycho. ↩︎

맥에서 BTT를 사용할 때 매직 마우스를 클릭한 채 스크롤하기 | Scroll with the Magic Mouse clicked when using BTT on the Mac
맥에서 BTT(BetterTouchTool)를 사용하면 매직 마우스에서 클릭한 채 스크롤하는 동작이 되지 않는다。해당 동작을 사용하기 위해서는 BetterTouchTool의 설정-매직 마우스에서 스와이프 탭의 「2손가락 위/아래 스와이프 사용 시 2손가락 스크롤링 비활성화」를 해제해야 한다。
When using BTT (BetterTouchTool) on Mac, scrolling while clicking the Magic Mouse does not work. To enable this behavior, need to uncheck “Disable two finger scrolling if 2 finger up / down swipes are used” on the Swipe tab in BetterTouchTool's Settings - Magic Mouse.

Creating some useful keyboard shortcuts for Sierra’s picture-in-picture mode
I’m not sure about anyone else but I really like the native Mac OS picture-in-picture mode introduced in Sierra OS 10.12. But as seems to be the case for a lot of apple’s new features, there are no keyboard shortcuts and for me that simply won’t do!
So I’ve created three keyboard shortcuts that control the different aspects of the picture-in-picture mode:
One to play/pause videos
One to close the current video
And one to put the current video back
The hard work here is done with applescript and I make use of the System Events’ UI control library to simulate clicks on the buttons in the picture-in-picture window.
(You'll need a keyboard shortcut manager like BetterTouchTool or Alfred's PowerPack to assign the applescript to a shortcut. This tutorial will use BetterTouchTool)
So let’s run through how to make a keyboard shortcut. The shortcut we'll make will pause + unpause the video.
Setting up keyboard shortcuts
Launch BetterTouchTool, navigate to the Keyboard tab and create a new shortcut. Assign a shortcut by clicking the white field at the bottom left which reads "Click to record a shortcut" and pressing the desired shortcut. (I use alt-8 because that's just below the media play/pause key which makes it easy to remember.)
Under the "Trigger predefined action" field, select Controlling other applications > Run Applescript. Now, paste the code below into the text field and click Save:
tell application "System Events" click button 2 of window 1 of process "PIPAgent" end tell
Open a Youtube video in Safari, right click the video twice and select 'Enter Picture-in-Picture'.
Now test out the shortcut you made earlier and it should pause and unpause the video!
(N.B. Make sure to allow BetterTouchTool access privileges under 'Security & Privacy' in System Preferences.)
The rest of the code
For the other two shortcuts, follow the steps as above but use the following code instead.
Closes the current PiP window (I have this mapped to alt-X):
tell application "System Events" click button 1 of window 1 of process "PIPAgent" end tell
Puts the current PiP window back (I have this mapped to alt-M):
tell application "System Events" click button 3 of window 1 of process "PIPAgent" end tell
Wrapping up
I hope you enjoyed this post! Just a couple of notes - I really recommend getting Pipifier for Safari - it injects a little button into Youtube pages to make entering PiP much easier. (It works on hundreds of other video sites too!)
Also, I'll post up a little more info on how the applescript in these shortcuts works, and how you can use Accessibility Inspector to write similar shortcuts of your own. I also have some more complex Picture-in-Picture shortcuts that allow you to change which corner of the screen the window shows in, and to hide/unhide the PiP window, but I'll save those for another post.
That's all for now, thanks for reading! — happyscripter

Bettertouchtool touch bar music
The touchid is amazing and I wouldn't ever want to go back to a device without it. It's a useless gimmick that removed some major functionality for me (a physical escape key). Bought the 2016 15" and was forced to get the stupid touchbar. My 2012 rMBP was on it's last legs and I really needed something new. Give me a bit more thickness, a regular keyboard, and high repairability. I hate the new MBP, keyboard and touch bar. Well, two weeks later I got the laptop back because their system kept saying it's not ready despite being back at the Apple Store four days after drop off. I spent hours on the phone with Apple explaining what happened. Well, a few days later I am told I need to pay $99 and use an AppleCare+ incident to fix the broken keyboard that the Genius broke. So I took it home, dd'd the disk to another one (use rdisk!) and dropped it off for repair. This final time it was better but still terrible and worse than when I brought it in. At this point the Rep said it had to be sent in for repairs. The second try it was basically entirely broken and only worked with extremely hard presses. The first try it was fixed, but the key cap was only half attached. He did say they could try something to fix it in the back with some special tools. I went to the Genius Bar which told me the keyboard was unrepairable and the only way to fix it was, literally, to replace the entire top case of the computer. I couldn't do anything to get it to go back to normal nor pry the key cap off to see if a bit of dirt had got underneath. Mine recently had its left arrow key become stiff in one corner. I literally stopped using my MBP without an external keyboard and mouse/trackpad at every practical opportunity. I have long ranted here (check my posting profile) about the touch bar.

#BETTERTOUCHTOOL TOUCH BAR MUSIC MANUAL#
#BETTERTOUCHTOOL TOUCH BAR MUSIC MANUAL#
So this activity usually requires my manual work of going to bluetooth menu and clicking on the desired options. On the other hand, sometimes I’d like to disable Bluetooth altogether. I found myself switching between my wireless headphone and speaker quite often at home or at work. My goal is to transform tasks that require two or more gestures/actions and my attention to only one tap. In this particular article, I’ll discuss the way I incorporate the TouchBar into a better experience for my casual work flow using BTT. Actions can be chained to handle complicated things. You can use any of the supported trigger/input types and choose from a large and always growing list of actions to automate almost any task. It allows me to completely replace pretty much every gesture set by Apple on Trackpads, mouses, keyboards, TouchBar and so on. Luckily, I’ve been using BetterTouchTool, which is probably the best gesture control app on macOS for so long. Since I paid a hefty sum for the machine, so might as well make it more useful. Setting asides all the issues, I thought instead of complaining, it’d be easier to accept what I can’t change and change what I can. As a power user, it is sort of frustrated for me. Some applications has different button patterns than the other, which cause disruption to my workflow, and not many can be configurable extensively. Some simple tasks like brightness adjustment, play/pause music that usually are one tap away, now require my attention, accuracy, and more taps. The Touch Bar has many shortcomings which I can spend a whole day to talk about. Until I got my hands on the new 2018 MBP. The bar even became one of the MacBook Pro’s main selling points. (source: Apple)įirst introduced in 2016, I thought Touch Bar was something really innovative and had a vast potential.

BETTERTOUCHTOOL TOUCH BAR MUSIC SOFTWARE
With a two finger swipe I control the volume and with a three finger swipe, the brightness.The 6 main buttons allow me to quickly switch between my workspaces, which saves me a lot of three-finger swipes on my touchpad.Not only does it let you build your own static Touch Bar, but you can bind your buttons to pretty much anything you want, including coding your own buttons using AppleScript.Ībove is a screenshot of my setup if you are interested.
BETTERTOUCHTOOL TOUCH BAR MUSIC SOFTWARE
BetterTouchTool, on the other hand, is the only software I’ve seen that allows you to completely replace the original Touch Bar. Many apps let you add custom buttons and integrate them into your Touch Bar, but it forces you to press a button from the control strip in order to see your version of the Touch Bar. This software doesn’t just allow you to change the way your Touch Bar works but it’s also covering pretty much every aspect of your MacBook. There is an absolutely amazing software available online, made by Andreas Hegenberg called BetterTouchTool. What I want to discuss here is what solution I found to actually turn the Touch Bar into a better user experience than the top row of keys on the previous models. There are of course other complaints I have about the Touch Bar, but this is not the subject of this article. This might sound trivial but not only it is longer than just pressing a key on my keyboard, it’s also forcing me to look at my keyboard instead of keeping my eyes on my work. For example, if I am in Photoshop and the bar is letting me change my brushes and colors while I want to mute the sound of my computer, I have to press a button to show the control buttons and then to press the mute button. While all of this might sound good, the main issue I have with this design is that the bar changes between apps, which means I will not always be able to press the same buttons to achieve the same actions.

The Apps I Use From Setapp
And Why I Think It’s Great Value
A while ago, someone asked on the MPU Forums:
Setapp — which apps do you use? Many, us pay for SetApp yet don’t get all the value because we don’t know the full extent of all the shiny toys. This was last asked 4 yrs ago, so it feels relevant againWhat the hidden gems have I missed?
Here’s my answer to this question!
I also wanted to write this, as many of My App Defaults are from Setapp, and because I recently read about the Setapp iOS store in the EU (which Norway, sadly, isn’t a part of).
I hope this post can be useful if you’re considering the service, and wonder if it’s worth it, or if you’re new to the service and would like some tips to get started. If you want to give it a try, I’d appreciate you doing so through my affiliate link to Setapp 🖇️. 🫶🏻
I've paid for the service for a couple of years, and keep paying for it. This post is me explaining why, and giving some tips. But I get it if some might find the use of an affiliate link to make me biased -so here's a regular link, if you' rather use that.
I’ve sorted them into the following categories:
Always-running utilities,
new defaults,
useful tools,
and workflow staples.
I also have a couple of honorable mentions, that are (or seem like) good apps, but that I, personally, don’t use that much.
I’ve added the price outside Setapp as well.1 Setapp is €10-15/month, or €100-150/year. However, some things to keep in mind:
Many of the apps are one-time purchases (but often not with unlimited updates), so it’s difficult to compare with a single subscription.
Many of the apps I use, I wouldn’t pay for if it weren’t included in Setapp. I’d either use a free/cheaper alternative, or just not use something like that at all.
I still find it to be great value – and I like that I can use nice, paid apps like explained in the second point.
Always-running utilities
Bartender (€21)
The grandad of menu bar organisation. Ice is an interesting free alternative, but I’m still pleased with Bartender – especially as I can have it automatically change layout when I connect my Studio Display.
BetterTouchTool (€22)
I mostly use this to set up trackpad shortcuts – which it does amazingly. But it can do much more as well.
Cleanshot X (€26)
Terrific tool for screenshots, annotations, and screen recordings. An alternative for the latter, called IShowU (€80 or €22/year) also just dropped on Setapp.
Default Folder X (€47)
This app powers up the open and save dialogues on your Mac – with things like recent folders and the ability to click on folders you have open in the background to save there.
Hookmark (€63)
This is an app for creating deep links between different documents and parts of apps (like specific emails).
iStat Menus (€13)
Recently updated, with a beautiful coat of paint, this highly customisable app lets you place what you want in the menu bar. I have RAM and CPU usage, and a weather widget.
My laptop mode menu bar, dictated by Bartender. If I hit the weather widget, iStat gives me a detailed forecast. And hitting the memory and CPU bars, gives me more details about those things.
Mission Control Plus (€10)
I only use this to allow me to close windows from Exposé. Worth it!
Paste (€27/year)
My favourite clipboard manager. Both pretty and powerful.
PixelSnap (€35)
Used for measuring things or your screen. I think xScope might be a more powerful version of this.
PopClip (€23)
App that mimics the menu you get when you select text on iOS – but you fill it with what you want. I’ve turned off mine coming up automatically, but I get this with a hotkey:
From the left:
The left one is a specific one for working with subtitles. It splits the selected line into two, down the middle.
This wraps text in <figcaption>, and is used for blog posts.
This wraps the text in a “callout div”, that I use to create callouts like the one about the affiliate link up top.
If I want to format text in image captions or callouts, I have to use HTML. This creates an HTML hyperlink,
this is italics, <em>
and this is bold. <strong>
The pen is some custom stuff for my band’s website.
The Last One Will Title Case the Selected Text.
New defaults
Archiver (€20)
Just a nice zip/unzip tool. The Unarchiver (free) is more or less just as nice!
Elmedia Player (€25)
And this is just a nice video player. But here Iina (free) is also just as nice.
BusyCal (€45)
It lacks some of the most powerful Fantastical features – but I also prefer some things about BusyCal. And seeing as it’s so much cheaper, this is a great alternative if you want something more powerful than Calendar.app, but don’t want to pay €60/year. It also has a nice menu bar widget (as seen in the screenshot above).
Nitro PDF Pro (€200 or €17/month)
I’ve no idea why this is so expensive! I guess it offers features some businesses just got to have. 🤷🏻♂️ But for me, it’s just a nice PDF reader/editor.
Useful tools
ChronoSync Express (€27)
Neat little tool to sync different folders.
ClearVPN (€40/year)
Pretty VPN that seems to do the job – on Mac and iOS. But I’m a very light VPN user.
Downie (€18)
Great app and browser extension for downloading anything from the web. (For instance, YouTube videos.)
Expressions (€7)
Together with an LLM, this app makes it possible for me to make useful regex patterns.
Folx (€18)
Torrent and general download manager, with browser extensions as well. Not the most used on my Mac, but I like it.
Image2Icon (€11)
Simple tool to turn any image into good-looking app icons.
Keep It Shot (€17 w/bring you own API or €7/month)
I’ve aimed this at my screenshot folder (for Cleanshot X), and it will automatically rename the screenshots into something searchable and rememberable.
OpenIn (€12)
Let’s say you normally want to open .md files in App 1, but if it’s in Folder X, you want it to open in App 2 instead – then OpenIn is for you. You can also use it to open links in different browsers depending on which app you click it, and more.
PDF Squeezer (€19)
Some PDFs have an ungodly size, and this app fixes that.
Permute (€13)
An app from the same developer as Downie, and an excellent converter tool. Works on images, videos and sound, and has Shortcut actions.
Timemator (€35)
Great time-tracker, with some automatic Mac features. (But I only use it for billable stuff.)
Sip (€18)
Gives you a colour picker everywhere, and some useful palette tools, like a floating colour dock for easy copying.
Image from the app's website.
Soulver (€13 + €35)
Now, this app got sherlocked pretty hard by the new Math Notes feature in this year’s OSs – but it’s still a great app for the combination of natural language notes and a calculator.
I wrote more about it here, in the post The Case for Soulver, and an App Between a Calculator and a Spreadsheet.
Squash (€46/year)
Sleek app for batch image actions.
Unite (€45)
An app for creating “desktop apps” from websites/web apps. Just like you can do from Safari or Chrome, but with more customisability.
Workflow staples
Bike Outliner (€34)
This is probably the app I like to use the most, of any app of any type. However, as it’s files-based and doesn’t have an iOS app (yet), it’s a bit challenging to integrate into my Markdown-focused workflow. But I highly recommend it nonetheless.
NotePlan (€90/year)
This app has a lot in common with Obsidian. But it gives you a much more native feel, and tasks and calendar notes are first-class citizens. This app can be the backbone of your digital life, for notes, tasks, time-blocking and more.
Ulysses (€36/year)
While I prefer the writing experience in Paper, Ulysses is still a great place to write, and I use its publishing features for Micro.blog all the time. If you’re writing long-form, like a novel or thesis, Ulysses is terrific.
Honorable mentions
BusyContacts (€45)
BusyCal’s sister-app. But I don’t use contacts much. 🤷🏻♂️
Calendars (€21/year)
This came to Setapp after I had used BusyCal for a while, so I don’t know how it compares. (I didn’t feel the need to try it out.) But it looks like a great calendar app, from a good developer.
Canary Mail (€19/year)
Decent email client if you like AI tools.
Craft (€86/year)
Powerful and flexible note-taking app, with sharing and co-operation features.
Diarly (€24/year)
I currently use Everlog for journaling, but this also looks really solid!
DisplayBuddy (€17)
If you use several external displays, and especially if they’re not made by Apple, this app (and BetterDisplay Pro) will be your best friend.
Dropzone (€31)
Drag and drop enhancer. From the website:
Dropzone makes it faster and easier to:
Move Files
Copy Files
Install Apps
Launch Apps
AirDrop
Run Shortcuts
Imgur
Amazon S3
SFTP Server
FTP Server
Rename & Move Files
Shorten URLs
Resize Images
Compress images
Download YouTube Videos
GoodTask (€42)
App built on top of the Reminders.app database, which gives it more powerful features (while keeping the database, for sharing, Siri features, etc.).
HoudahSpot (€38)
More powerful file search for Mac.
Keysmith (€48)
With this, you can record specific actions (with mouse and keyboard), and then give them keyboard shortcuts. For those things that don’t have a proper hotkey!
Marked (€13)
App, by the great Brett Terpstra, for showing Markdown previews from everywhere.
MarsEdit (€54)
App for writing blog posts, and publishing them to things like WordPress, Micro.blog or Mastodon.
MindNode (€22/year)
A mind-mapping tool I’ve heard good things about.
Path Finder (€27/year)
A decent Finder replacement, with some more powerful features.
Secrets (€85 or €34/year)
As mentioned in this post, I think it’s a good idea to use a third-party password manager. And Secrets is one of them.
Spark (€54/year)
Probably my favourite email client (which, admittedly, is a pretty low bar), as I can’t use Mimestream before it supports JMAP. However, as I share my Power User Setapp account with my wife, only one of us can use Spark – so I let her have it.
TaskPaper (€27)
Ultra-fast plain-text task manager, from the same developer as Bike.
TextSoap (€45)
Classic tool for cleaning up your text.
Typeface (€43)
A more powerful version of the built-in Font Book.
Unclutter (€22)
A place for storing temporary files, text, and more.
