Make MacOS better

MacOS.md

essentials

tiling window manager -> brew install rectangle
clipboard history -> brew install maccy
screenshots with easy markup editor -> brew install shottr (bound to cmd + shift + 2)
fix the menu bar -> brew install jordainbird-ice

terminal

the terminal i use (not ai terminal) -> brew install iterm2
the terminal i also use (not ai terminal) -> brew install kitty
the third terminal -> brew install warp

aesthetic

bluelight filter based on time of day -> brew install flux

monitoring

stats (menubar or otherwise) -> brew install stats (its free, the old iStatMenus is dead)

file ops

archiver (though mac's default is also fine, its a little slower) -> brew install keka

text editing

note taking / markdown stuff -> brew install obsidian
just text -> brew install vim (fuck u bitch) (i also use sublime text but objectively its not very good so brew install emacs)

image editing

convert / filter images -> brew install imagemagick

virtualization

docker desktop -> brew install docker (this will install docker desktop, which i recommend for mac. you will inevitably end up fiddling with the settings to give it more disk space / ram / cpu, but be cognizant that it will take up that amount of space / ram all the time (mostly, there are some settings to fiddle with that kinda help, but not that much) + brew install docker-compose (which installs docker compose plugin not the old docker-compose, confusingly) and like, brew install virtualbox if you so desire

mouse

fix scroll direction while using an actual mouse but don't invert the trackpad at the same time -> brew install scroll-reverser
fix mouse acceleration (you tell me why this needs to exist) -> brew install mac-mouse-fix

remote desktop

i use rustdesk (but i host my own rustdesk server (easy) so the latency is super good, thats why i use rustdesk) -> brew install rustdesk

disk image writing

several options. I prefer brew install balenaetcher, theres also unetbootin

torrent

brew install transmission

ai

definitely try this out! the m4 chip + apple's Metal architecture is pretty impressive. brew install ollama
also obviously i use brew install chatgpt claude-desktop

cross-device file sharing

brew install localsend

video

ffmpeg -> brew install ffmpeg
basically a gui for ffmpeg -> brew install handbrake
watch mkvs -> brew install vlc

audio

brew install audacity

disk space management

the best free one i've found is brew install grandperspective
brew install daisydisk looks a lot better and works a lot better but it costs money

ftp

brew install cyberduck

android interfacing

brew install android-platform-tools

minecraft launcher!!!!!

brew install multimc
