I begrudgingly use VS Code but would secretly love to use Nova. I go back and try it every so often. Sublime Text holds a special place in my heart, as does BBEdit and TextMate.
iTerm2. I've tried a bunch of terminals but this one still holds up for me. As with all terminals, it needs a bit of help to make it yours. I'll do an article about it.

Mac Apps
I've been using a few of the up and coming browsers, specifically Arc and Orion. Both great for different reasons, though it seems like Arc is moving a lot faster and a bit more experimentally (is that good?).
Things. A+ Mac app.
Hyperkey. Turn your caps lock key into a new shortcut key. Great for enabling system-wide shortcuts.
Eagle for collecting inspiration and ideas. I'd kill for a Mac-assed Mac app that does this job. RIP LittleSnapper.
CleanShot X. Everything I ever wanted in a screenshot app.
Itsycal. Perfectly minimal menubar calendar. Links directly to video calls.
stts. Menubar app to keep track of the status of various sites/services. A godsend when everything is going wrong.
1Password. Just. I found the recent redesign pretty trying at first but it's improved since then. Does the job.
Amphetamine. Stop your display from sleeping.
PixelSnap. Measure stuff on screen. Switched to this from xScope, which has a few more bells and whistles.
Alfred. A mainstay of the last 10 years and the first thing I install on any new Mac. I use the snippets and clipboard history features constantly.
GoodLinks. A read-later and link saving app. I've tried them all and so far, this is clicking for me.
Mimestream. This has made email (GMail) bearable for me again. I've wanted an email client I can navigate fully with the keyboard for years.
Cron. Trying this out. Desperately need to sort out my approach to calendars.
Screen Studio. Takes screen recordings to the next level. An easy way to impress your co-workers.
