Homebrew, Iterm2, Keka, Menumeters/btop, newsboat/Vienna for rss, Keepass, Veracrypt, Sublime.
Learn keyboard shortcuts like
cmd+~ to cycle through different windows of a same appln
cmd+c and cmd+opt+v for cut and paste
cmd+mouse click on a folder opens it in a new tab
cmd+shift+4 for screenshot tool and change the settings to copy the screenshot to clipboard.
Cmd+space - spotlight. Hide folders if you only want it to open apps
One more thing switch doc type to plan text in TextEdit app to use it as Windows Notepad.
Thanks for the tip, I still find it weird we (or at least me) had to install many of this many tweaks for basic QoL features. And there's no autoscroll support is a big meh :(
Honestly most of the tools suggested in this thread not really needed. The built-in tools and shortcuts can do the job for many but the third-party tools always provide more options in every OS. For example I cannot use Windows for work without notepad++, 7zip, WSL, SSH/SCP tools etc.
