Loads of little things, but you specifically asked for
daily use so:
- Rectangle for window management (I appreciate you have Magnet and tastes differ)
- MarkEdit is an excellent (free) Markdown editor
- Highland 2 (not free) for more long-form Markdown writing as it can handle normal Markdown files and feels more polished than similar tools (especially the document map)
- VLC as I watch a lot of box sets and it's better than the Apple options
- SourceTree for source control (not as good as Git Extentions on Windows but more to my tastes than the VS Code plugins, Fork, or GitKraken for example)
- BitWarden as I'm cross-platform so don't want to rely on the Apple Keychain
- Authy for two-factor authentication - not the Google, Microsoft, or similar option as I don't want to be tied to a tech giant account that can get switched off
- PCloud (with encryption and a mapped drive) for the same cross-platform reason, plus again I don't want my backups tied to a tech giant account that can get switched off
- PGAdmin 4 for database management during development
- Keka for handling archives/zips as it usually handles files fine when Apple's archiver won't (eg some EPUBs when renamed to zip)
- Fastmail for being able to manage multiple custom domain emails, aliases, and even nameservers from a single (paid) user account (I'm aware it isn't a Mac app but I do often use Outlook from Office 2019 to access it despite the excellent web site)
