During my entire life (32 years) I used windows and linux machines. Now I bought my first mac book and I would like to know what tools is nice to have to make my work easy.

I am a developer ruby on rails and use vscode, also I use the terminal a lot and the default terminal is not that great. Also I miss notepad++

Any sugestions?

Thank You

    iStat Menus - gives nice menubar system monitoring panes
    Soulver - notepad/calculator hybrid. great for working out thinky problems that involve math
    GrandPerspective - disk space usage management/visualization. There’s prettier options but none as quick and straightforward.
    Postico - Nice GUI for postgres
    Turn on hot corners for multitasking. Throw your cursor in a corner -> see all open apps/windows/desktop. (Used to be a default but now it’s more hidden.)

    For development? I just use VSCode and the default terminal with zpresto. (Though i switch to Nova for basic build-less html css/js stuff. It’s a nice native app as all things Panic are.)
