- Arc Browser – a complete game changer in terms of productivity – this app alone is worth switching from Windows/Linux (They have a Windows version, but it's lagging behind, not to mention there's no Android version and sync) - AeroSpace Window Manager since i got to know it this week (replacing Wins, which replaced free Rectangle) - Sensei for hardware checks/cleanups - Yomu for ebooks - Xnapper for beautiful screenshots for marketing/social media - Boom 3D for sound enhancement - ImageOptim for mass optimizing images and removing metadata - GoLogin for multiple browser profiles/anonymization for work - IINA for watching video files I try to be as minimalist as possible with app installations.

Interesting that Arc Browser is reason enough to switch from windows or Linux. I see a people love it, but it doesn’t do well for my ADHD brain.

  I'm yet to try it out, thus curious. Why it wouldn't work for ADHD. Also what other browser do you suggest? I currently use Safari and Librewolf.

I also use ImageOptim. Also: - NameChanger for bulk renaming files - Day-O as a quick calendar - GrandPerspective for finding out what's using disk space

Could you explain what makes Arc Browser a game changer in terms of productivity? I use Firefox with a vertical tabs extension and based on the screenshots it looks very similar (also, using Firefox Containers solves the same problem as GoLogin afaict)

  Arc also allows you to large-scale organization of tabs with 'spaces'. I have been using Arc (including now) for a few months and find it provides much more efficient organization than Chrome, Safari and Firefox -- however, I have not attempted to use extensions for navigation/organization improvements as you have.

    Spaces sound somewhat similar to "panels" in Sidebery for Firefox, they can be used to split workspaces, e.g. for different projects/clients. You can make each panel use a different container, which is helpful to be logged in with different users on the same websites. You can also "unload" panels easily to save RAM and to ignore them until the next time you work on them.
