‘Hack’ your MAC with these apps
I bought my MacBook Pro here in Malaysia two days before the bootcamp start - here you can read more. I’ve never had Mac before so it was my first bigger experience (actually I had a few days used Mac that was broken).
Anyway during the two months journey I discovered many cool and useful apps so I’d like to share with you what I am using:
f.lux - “software to make your life better”. Will help you balance colors on your screen especially at evening / early morning hours where the white on your screen is very strong. Check it, you will not regret. On the beginning it could be a bit strange but you will quickly adapt to the screen. Number one for me. | Free
Hocus Focus - Automatically hides inactive windows. If you are crazy like me with 10 apps open at once, you will find it very useful - though if you really need some app, it could be quite annoying when it constantly disappears but you can always customize it (I am just too lazy). | Free
Dash - If you travel a lot and you don’t have the internet connection, just download Dash and have offline access to thousands of recourses and languages in offline mode. From now you can do coding nonstop even without the internet and still be able to find anything you need. // actually not thousands but: 150+ API documentation sets - how many of these languages you know? | Free
RescueTime - Software running behind and measuring your productivity. How you spend your time and applications you use most often. | Free
Quiver - your coding notes. Always save & have access to the codes that might be worth to save it or important for in a future. Quick search through notes thanks to tags. Never lose any important codes / links / resources any more. Thank to Audrey for recommendation - and I guess she’d like to thank you to Josh - so thank you Josh too, haha. | No Free.
GitHub Desktop, Color Picker for HTML / CSS colors, Endurance to save battery...
If you have some useful app for MAC and coding, please share it with me ;D
