![]() MATLAB has a really nice environment where everything is live, you can evaluate code, examine variables, etc. I could go on and on, but those are three that really make a difference every day for me. Yoink is great for getting those files on a shelf for a few minutes before I drop them into the place they need to go. Yoink - I am forever needing a file from a folder to drop into a chat, attach to an e-mail or I’m reorganizing/cleaning up the desktop/documents folder. The ability for me to locate a folder or document with a few keystrokes is worth the price of admission. Examples are someone asking for my passport number, or some auto insurance information.Īlfred - I probably use 10% of this apps capabilities, but it’s still a big deal for me. Here’s a few of them that are important to me since I use my Mac for both personal use and work (BYOD kind of).ġPassword - Just an unbelievable resource that allows me not only to create secure passwords, but helps manage a lot of critical information that needs to be stored for those rare occasions I need it. Just installed the Big Sur beta, which means I had to update my list that’s tucked away in Notes that reminds me of all the apps I need if I ever do a clean install. Interestingly, Igor started three decades ago as a Mac-only app.Ĭamtasia – While I like the power behind it, I probably only touch its surface in features. For the types of work that I need to do, I would be entirely frustrated when I would be forced to use equivalent apps such as Origin, MatLab, R, Mathematica, Maple, or python. Igor Pro – This is the only app I will recommend for anyone who needs to develop publication-ready graphics from data and to create control-panel driven, interactive demonstrations of scientific or engineering formulations. I use this app more on my iPad as my gold standard to work with PDFs.īBEdit – I have the infamous T-shirt! When I need to manipulate text files, this app is a must-have.įinally, I rely critically on some cross-platform and well-developed apps as well: PDFExpert – It is robust than Preview (yet less robust than the Acrobat suite). Numbers – It is less powerful than Excel for real “number crunching” work, yet more appealing than Excel for visual layout of data and results. Graphic Converter – I use this for the cases where I have to adjust images to meet certain critical needs. My less-frequently used but much appreciated Mac-only apps are as follows:ĭevonThink – Someday, I will actually figure out why I keep coming back to this app to establish it as a resource to try to write my textbook. The support for LinkBack between Curio and LaTeXiT is a godsend. LaTeXIt – An essential app to typeset equations as images (e.g. ![]() I’ve tried others but keep returning to TeXShop if for no other reason than that it remains robust and follows the macOS standards well (unlike other cross-platform options). TeXShop – My number one app to create LaTeX. This app keeps my head from exploding with the abundance of tasks that I have across multiple types of projects. OmniFocus – My go-to task manager across my macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices. ![]() Since I started using it some years ago, Curio has dramatically changed how I coordinate my work. My most used, Mac-only apps are as follows:Ĭurio – An absolutely must-have app to brainstorm, manage top-level views of projects, and develop lecture content.
