There’s tons of great stuff coming out: Mimestream is the mail best app I’ve used in decades (gmail only). Id pay the creators $100 or more for a license if he charged. TablePlus is decent. Obsidian for notes. Monodraw for ascii drawings.

TablePlus certainly is decent

That is definitely on the skimpy side of "tons".

  I'll add one more: Airflow. Easily the smoothest solution I've found to stream local video files to Chromecasts and Apple TV: https://airflow.app/ https://airflow.app/

Another +1 for TablePlus. OmniFocus is great (if you're into that kind of task-tracking/GSD tool)

  For those, like me, who find OmniFocus to be overkill, Things might be a better fit. I think it's great.

What do you like about Mimestream? I'm happy enough with Mac Mail, except that search sometimes sucks. What am I missing out on?

  I believe it searches via the gmail api so it has good search results. I personally like it because it feels really snappy and lightweight, in terms of UI and performance.

    Cool! Does it download all the email to your computer, or is it running the search on the gmail servers?

I’ve been using Mimestream as my main Gmail app on macOS for a few weeks, as Mailplane (my Gmail desktop app of choice for the past decade or so is being deprecated). Only thing missing is its inability to snooze messages, which slows down my daily workflow. Hopefully they will add it soon, for it is a well-built Gmail app. I don’t know whether I’d pay a hundred bucks for it, but it would be tempting.

  Unfortunately Google doesn’t provide APIs for snooze or mute, so I imagine it would be a massive undertaking to try to build either feature with custom Mimestream infrastructure. And even then it would be a non-native hack and not compatible with other clients. I filed feature requests for the missing APIs when I worked at Google (not on the Gmail team), but I never saw any sign up uptake unfortunately.

As nice as it is Monodraw is in maintenance mode. https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-maintenance-mode/ https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-maintenance-mode/ Monodraw was released in May 2015, about three and a half years ago. Unfortunately, it did not achieve commercial success and it meant I had to get a job.

  I'm still trying to maintain Monodraw and release new features [1] - as much as my personal time allows! :) [1] https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-v1.6/ https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-v1.6/
