Recently I got a new MacBook Pro - first time ever using a macOS in general.

Some things I added/tweaked, at least compared to my previous system:

  1. Raycast

  2. Aerospace

  3. Mos for my mouse and scrolling

  4. Forehead to hide notch

  5. Disabled the dock

  6. Switched over from kitty to Ghostty

  7. Clockify to better track the time (timetrace)

  8. Zen (switched from Vivaldi). I did not remember/save my encryption password so I could not sync stuff…

  9. Helium as my Chromium-based browser.

  10. Using bitwarden now for password management

Other thoughts:

  • I love the retina display so much! I totally understand why designers prefer macbooks.
  • Nice improvement in battery, given my previous laptop
  • Still weird how they handle windows: closing is different from quitting (and minimizing), and on start up after a system shut down, the previous programs which were not quit are booting up
