I used to install loads of apps - but now I tend to keep things as osx only as possible. One reason is I switch machines so often and my early macs we're customised to the hilt and I've never achieved that level of greatness again. The other is simply I don't trust the 99p and Free apps to do the job as well as the 'old apps' Things like little snitch, disk inventory x theres so many clones that never quite do what you want so I just don't bother.
Things like macheist we're great back in the day because you knew you were getting (reasonable) quality but most importantly safe apps. The closest thing now is setapp. I don't subscribe to it but it sure is useful as a first port of call for finding an app that does what I'm looking for thats probably been through some sort of quality control. I've found a few apps through there.
Apps I use daily and install instantly on any mac: AppCleaner, AppPolice, little ipsum (random strings of lorum impsum), colorslurp (colour picker), itsycal (calendar in your toolbar) disk inventory x, betterSnapTool (mimics window snapping from mac but lets you drag and drop to custom sizes) Rocket for emojis, and licecap for gif screen recording
