Mimestream native mail client.
Calendar
Fantastical – alternative to Apple Calendar. It has natural-language event entry, calendar sets, multiple-time event proposals, and conference call detection. It can hide events and ignore notifications from shared calendars.
Task Management
Things – to do manager. I dump everything into this.
Web browsers
Safari as go-to browser. Main features: performance, battery life, tab-sharing with iPad and iPhone.
Arc for workspaces and ad hoc scrapbooks / dashboards (via Easels feature).
Google Chrome for when I need multiple personae. (Maybe I will switch to Arc now that it supports this.)
Search Engines: Duck Duck Go, Wikipedia, Wikiwand.
Communications: Slack, Zoom, WeChat, Signal.
Apple Notes for quick synchronized notes.
Roam Research for (initially) unstructured notes.
Muse app nested spatial notes, syncs with iPad.
Notion for instructional material, drafts of other mixed-media documents, and web sites. Super.so for publishing Notion to the web.
AirTable for end-user databases (tables that include linked and calculated columns).
Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets
Apple Numbers. Killer feature: being able to include multiple tables and charts as separate entities on a single sheet, instead of mashing them all onto the same grid (or putting them on separate pages).
Bookmarking: Pinboard, Zotero. Previously: Delicio.us.
Reading: Apple Books, Liquid Text, and Preview.
