Chapter 1: Essential Mac Applications for Productivity
In 2024, several innovative applications have emerged to enhance productivity for Mac users. Here’s a closer look at some of the most impactful tools introduced this year.
Worky
Worky is a powerful app designed to help you efficiently manage your macOS desktop by creating multiple workspaces tailored for specific tasks. This organization ensures that all your necessary files are easily accessible whenever you need them.
To start, click on the Worky icon in the menu bar to reveal the dropdown menu:
Mobile Mouse & Keyboard
This app transforms your mobile device into a wireless mouse and keyboard, allowing you to control your Mac or PC conveniently. It's particularly useful for managing presentations or controlling media devices from a distance, like your sofa or bed.
Layout Switcher
Similar to Apple's app switcher, the Layout Switcher modifies your app's layout based on your preferences. It functions like CMD+TAB but requires you to assign OPT+TAB as a shortcut.
For keyboard users, access settings from the spaces app and set your desired keyboard shortcut (we recommend Option+Tab). For mouse users, hover over the top center of the screen to activate the Layout Switcher (make sure this option is enabled in settings).
Amplenote
Amplenote merges note-taking with task management, offering a robust productivity tool that excels in syncing and security. Designed with productivity enthusiasts in mind, it features flexible notes and tasks.
Amplenote includes four main modes:
- Jots: Quickly log your daily activities and capture spontaneous ideas.
- Notes: Refine your ideas for clarity and impact.
- Tasks: Highlight essential to-do items hidden within your notes.
- Calendar: Organize tasks into a visual schedule for optimal time management.
Snips
Snips is a dedicated code snippet application for macOS, enabling developers to store, organize, and retrieve useful code snippets in one convenient location. This tool is designed to streamline your workflow, allowing you to focus on programming instead of searching for code.
