what are the "must have" apps for osx?
>>new to macfag community

homebrew, then pick from this stuff.
>XtraFinder/TotalFinder is a far better than Apple's shitty Finder and builds upon it to give you more options and make it not crap.
>Get yourself BetterTouchTools if you use a real Mac trackpad.
>Learn the terminal, you won't regret it.
>Using the terminal? Get Prezto or Oh-My-Zsh already.
>Get yourself Homebrew and Cask. Loads of interesting and useful tools there.
>For example ffmpeg that can easily convert audio and video to whatever you wish.
>Cask is an extension to Homebrew that installs applications like a normal package manager. It's the OS X equivalent of sudo apt-get install, Pacman -Syu and chocolatey.
>mpv is the hands down best video player on OS X. There are no substitutions.
>mpd + ncmpcpp is advanced, but the best music player on OS X that also supports real audio formats like FLAC, Opus and ogg vorbis (unlike iTunes).
>Transmission is subjectively the best torrent application.

naaah doing that /w vagrant already
>>53604843
homebrew
spectacleapp

zsh
cask
launchrocket to start services if you're a developer
that's pretty much it.... everything is already there and working that's why every deent developer uses it
>>53605694
why would you need linux via vagrant if you're on a unix based system? I'm a senior dev working on lots of different languages and never had the needing of using vagrant.. maybe docker but just for the lulz

Underrated post. Homebrew makes OSX comfy as tits
Amethyst – pseudo tiling window manager
Amphetamine – keeps laptop awake
AppCleaner – removes things left over after you "delete" an app
coconutBattery – shows health of laptop battery/attached iOS device battery
Cyberduck – libre FTP/SFTP/Amazon/etc client
DaisyDisk – useful for cleaning out a drive
Deluge – not specifically for OS X, good torrent client nonetheless
iTerm – essential replacement for Terminal.app
mpv – essential video player
Quinn – Tetris clone
Sublime Text – text editor
VOX – essential audio player

What do you use Homebrew for?
I can't think of what I'd use and it's hard to find info about mods/apps online.
For those interested a Mac OS X group was just created on Telegram.

I used it to install Python 3 and ffmpeg. Mostly it's useful if you do programming, in which case you'll probably already know what you need from it. Otherwise there are also command-line tools you might want to use, for example ffmpeg to convert video to webm or youtube-dl to download youtube videos.

>each time I want to restart, annoys me with popup message
>can't play video which is not yet downloaded (unlike on windows torrents)

They tried to fix it as quickly as possible. It's not amazing but it really seems like it fits in OSX.
Also when I got into OSX, I thought of trying OpenEmu. It's shit. Not worth the performance loss.
Cog is pretty good
Plays the music that for some stupid fucking reason doesn't work on iTunes, extra formats as well, it has a simplistic interface and there's a folder view.
Fantastic software includes:
Affinity Photo (Photoshop clone)
Affinity Designer (Illustrator clone)
Textual (IRC client)
Sketch (awesome graphic design)
Transmit (best FTP client ever)
iTerm (terminal)
