#HAZEOVER VS DESKCOVER MAC#

Adding a grid-based manager that also responds to edge targets and can auto-gutter - across multiple displays - is a real holy grail for me.īetterTouchTool and Karibiner expands on KM nicely for a very select few mapping features. But, after decades of experience with AppleScript and KM, I’m doing okay. However, Keyboard Maestro provides ample tools to make any needed window function it just lacks portability to configurations that vary wildly i.e., there’s a lot of time investment for multiple resolutions and arrangements, especially on a per-app basis. Mosaic (formerly WindowTidy) has come along way, and the developers have big plans on the way, but there’s not a single window manager today (that I’ve found), including every one listed here, that can properly handle multiple displays (I have six).

I can’t believe I got to page seven before someone finally mentioned Keyboard Maestro and Default Folder these two are crucial to my workflow (been using the former for most of this century the latter since the 90s), and I tear my hair out when I have to work on a Mac without them. (Far too many more to recall right now, but I’d hate my time on a computer without these above and, yes, the order is pretty much meaningless.)

MacPilot or TinkerTool (for ease of mods you can do it all with Terminal)ġPassword (legacy, non-subscription if forced, I can live with Keychain and encrypted files in Dropbox) IStat Menus (helpful, pretty, but GeekTool and shell can do it all well enough)Ī Better Finder Rename (even if you love making your own scripts, this tool is awesome) Sizzling Keys (for the HUD, Find Song and Playlist Selector otherwise KM) Growl (yep, it still works too super useful for custom utilities) SpamSieve (a geek’s nightmare to setup on multiple accounts, but once it’s running indispensable)ĬyberDuck or Transmit (best) Forklift is okayĬontacts Sync for Google (if you have to play in that world)įantastical (1 is fine 2 is overkill simple, fast event/reminder entry with intelligent parsing)īartender 2 (not 3 love the shelf not dev’s fault) GeekTool (yep, it still works you just have to kill its terrible multiple displays “support”)Īutomator/Script Editor (build your own damn Hazel/Alfred Services and Utilities)įastScripts (useful for everything you don’t want to remember keystrokes for, even if you do have KM)ĭropbox (you’d be amazed at how much remote control you can perform with Dropbox and scripting)Ĭarbon Copy Cloner (can’t wait for APFS support a la SuperDuper) (tl dr: My essentials, more or less in order but you’ll have to hold a gun to make me give one up
