This question makes no sense. It really depends on what you do. The most productive apps I have used over last 10 years were Apple mail, Apple calendar, finder, safari, preview, terminal with bunch of Unix tools and textmate. Microsoft Office is probably the least productive tool I currently have installed and I only use it because my administration requires some paperwork to be submitted as word documents.

Productivity is defined as what you need to accomplish...personally I use compilers, an editor, system utilities, and my codes the most.

Ok, never used apple mail as in my business, we have over 30+ emails and 300k/month email usage, so we are heavy GSuite users. Apple calendar also didn't work out much for us. I am not a developer so unix/textmate/terminal...ehhh sorry doesn't cut it for me.

I am seeking business productivity tools and stuff like BTT which makes things easy to navigate with 6 browsers and 20+ tabs open at one time etc.
