Rectangle / Magnet
- Mac itself supports split-screen, but after using Mac system-level split-screen, the top-level menu bar will not be displayed normally, so I usually use the custom size of the window to split-screen work/study, this software can be set by setting Assigned shortcut keys to quickly split the window to the desired position
- My settings:
- Command + left and right keys = left and right split screen
- Command + up and down keys = full screen/restore window size
- For example, if I need to quickly create four Iterm windows distributed up, down, left, and right, I can create a new Iterm window through Command + n and quickly adjust it to a suitable position through Command + key combination
super right click
- The right-click function of the Mac itself is very weak, and even the creation of new files (txt, office, etc.) can only be done in a very outrageous way (touch/vim in Terminal, etc.)
- Use the "Super Right Click" App to expand the functions of the right button
- My settings:
- New file (txt, office)
- Copy Path
- Enter Iterm according to the current path
Bartender 4
- The top menu bar space of the Mac is very precious. It shows the status of some software or contains some shortcuts. In addition, the extremely disgusting bangs on the top of the MacBook after the M1 Pro make the already rare space even more. Less, and if the small icon in the menu bar exceeds half of the menu bar, it will be "eaten" by bangs (Apple's crazy design). At this time, you need a menu bar management app
- my settings
- Put frequently used software on the menu bar
- Put infrequently used software on the second-level menu bar of Bartender, and click anywhere on the menu bar to activate the second-level menu bar when you want to use it
- In this way, my menu bar will not be "eaten" by bangs, and those that exceed the time limit will only be included in the secondary menu of Bartender
Paste / PasteNow
- The app I use most frequently every day, this software can cache and record all your clipboards, and when you need to use the pasted content again, you can quickly call it up to view and copy it quickly through the shortcut keys. This app supports iCloud synchronization
- I use Paste (non-domestic), but I also bought out PasteNow (domestic), because the UI of the latter is not to my taste, so I basically don’t use it
- This software supports copying: files, texts, pictures, etc.
- My settings:
- Invoke Paste via Option + A
- Quickly copy content via Command + 1~9
Bob
- The app I use more frequently every day, because the Mac can get the meaning of a word through the touch panel, but what if I need to use OCR screenshots to translate the text in the picture? What if I need an external keyboard without a touchpad? Do I need to copy the whole paragraph to Google Translate?
- Using Bob, you can call the system/third-party translation tool through shortcut keys, and directly translate the word/paragraph selected by the mouse, or directly perform OCR screenshot recognition on the paragraph
- my settings
- Option + s: Call the screenshot function, and automatically translate the text paragraph after selection
- Option + d: Translate the text selected by the mouse
- For example, I select a certain paragraph through the shortcut key and translate it directly
State Menus
- The most intuitive Mac health menu bar software, you can know the current Mac CPU/memory/network usage status at a glance, as well as the overall machine power consumption, fan speed, temperature of each component, etc., allowing you to keep track of your Mac health monitor
Raycast
- The Spotlight function under Mac is too simple, and basically can only search the App. Because Raycast has its own Store, it can integrate a lot of common functions, such as direct jump to Baidu/Google search, Base 64 decoding, calculator, date Convert, network speed test, initiate HTTP request and many other functions
- Just remove the SpotLight shortcut key and let Raycast officially replace SpotLight (Command + Space)
