I have a lot of things in my main tray bar on OS X, and a bunch more I hide in a second tray. Here are they, in two rows:
Some of my favorites, in no particular order:
- Bartender, to organize all the following crap
- Forecast Bar, for weather
- Fantastical, the best Mac calendar app
- ToDoist, for todos
- CardHop, because I don’t remember who are or where to find you
- Various iStat menus, mostly to make sure I don’t drive my Mac to its knees
- Snagit, without which computers wouldn’t be worth using
- MemClean, because Macs are memory pigs and need to be cleaned constantly
- SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba, because Macs make it too hard to manage sound
- Little Snitch, to manage network traffic in and out
- Rocket, for quick replacement of things like 🙂 with 😄
- PopClip, which completes me
- CarbonCopy Cloner, which saves from all of TimeMachine’s screwups
- TextExpander, because I’m too lazy to type, even when I’m typingÂ
- DisplayResX, because I have a bunch of monitors and want all them all configured just so
- Amphetamine, because Macs have a bad habit of shutting down during something really important
- Alfred, which does too many things to count, but mostly just makes me magically faster
I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few things, but that’s the gist.Â
