💯 I'm glad somebody asked this question because I enjoy finding little productivity hacks. My whole list will be MacOS based:
- Quadro: "Control desktop applications and automate your workflow with a personalised interface". See this as your extra keyboard where you can quickly switch windows, restart terminal processes, go to slack channel, etc. Any macro/shortcut you can think of. Use this in combination with Keyboard Maestro's macro's. You have to try this! 🙌🏻🔥
- Alfred: clipboard history, better than MacOS' spotlight 🎩
- Keyboard Maestro: macro's, automate everything
- Magnet: Window manager. Easily align and position you windows.

- It has an excellent NodeJS debugger.
- Great for running tests.
- Version control.
- Postman: Test API's! 🚀
