What are your favourite mac apps and tools

[DavidChoux]

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post.

Just curious as to what you guys like. For me:

IINA - favourite video player

Macs Fan Control - control the fan and see temps

AppCleaner - deletes the stuff left behind when uninstalling an app

KeyboardCleanTool - disables the keyboard when you want to clean it

Turbo Boost Switcher - disables intel turbo boost when you need to preserve battery life

DeepL - very good neural machine translator, can set up short cuts- highlight text - press shortcut - translation opens up

Native
- Finder
- Safari
- iMessage
- Mail
- Terminal
- Pages
- Numbers
- Activity Monitor

3rd Party
- Reaper
- Affinity Photo

will probably get the free Malwarebytes app too at some point, especially at the time when Apple has decided that my systems have become obsolete, after i have verified that it's really taking no system resources at all when not launched manually to do scans on demand.

There's a switch for that on the top of the keyboard (Full-size Magic Keyboard w TouchID)

It works well for me to tame youtube on Chrome. For some reason more than two youtube tabs on chrome will cause the CPU to work hard, use a lot of energy, get hot, and run the battery down quickly. So I disable turbo boost and it'll make it use much less battery. Although if you have a fair few tabs open it'll get slow.
