Trickster is something I use every day, many times a day. ScreenFlow is great for screencasts.

Would like to add a few other Mac apps that I like:

DEVONthink — https://devontechnologies.com — is a fantastic Mac app for organizing documents. It's a desktop Evernote replacement for me. (25% off)

Cashculator - https://cashculator.app - Personal finance with a focus on planning and "what-if" scenarios. Like a spreadsheet. (50%, no subscription).

Love BetterTouchTool. It's a must-have to customize your Mac, keyboard shortcuts, automate things you do regularly, etc.

BTT works better than Logitech G-Hub for customizing Logitech mice

[thiht]

Do you have some examples? I see the appeal but aren’t really inspired by the description, could you share how you use it?

[guiambros]

I use heavily for keyboard customization. I have all sorts of macros, like moving windows to different parts of the monitor (e.g. left, right, center, top center for video calls), making keyboard navigation more similar across Linux and Mac, launching and positioning apps with a single keystroke, auto-entering common data on a website, and so on.

And there's tons of other use cases (which I don't use), including gestures, controlling gestures, trackpads, MIDI settings, Elgato StreamDeck, and more.

[addandsubtract]

My number one use is a three finger swipe up/down to change tabs in the browser, terminal, IDE, etc. BTT also includes a window manager that lets you drag apps to an edge to half-screen them or snap them to other window edges. It also allows you to create a custom notch bar or custom touch bar, along with many other little tools. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

[mekster]

No idea why custom gesture isn't baked in macOS itself yet.

There is some list of the Mac Apps

AI GENERATION TOOLS

· Thundercontent AI Writer (140+ languages, 20+ tools, based on GPT-3) : $7/ month (usually $49/month)-- https://thundercontent.com

· Article.Audio (Convert articles to audio with AI): $39 Lifetime deal (usually $19/month) -- https://article.audio

[avinassh]

I don’t see Thundercontent on discount, shows $24 to me

[throwaway290]

Worth noting Affinity is a strictly one-time purchase valid forever (or while their licensing servers are up) while offering functionality on par with Adobe. I got their v2 suite at discount.

[joshmlewis]

I just tried three times to buy Trickster on their website and failed each time. The checkout UX is horrendous not letting you go back or telling you why it failed.

[nop_slide]

ProxyMan looks nice, is it better than Charles?

[tjfl]

It's really nice. I bought it last year, but don't use it frequently enough and didn't renew it this year. If you're in the same boat https://mitmproxy.org is really helpful and with `mitmweb` offering a web alternative to their TUI it's really convenient.

If you have ProxyMan you can renew with the discount, too.

+1 for DevUtils

[mekster]

$40/year on regular pricing sounds quite expensive for stuff you have other means of accomplishing.

[MisterSandman]

It's not per year, it's a one time purchase with lifetime (well, "lifetime") updates.

[throwaway729562]

From their website:

  The license is a perpetual license. One license key allows you to use the app indefinitely. You are also eligible for one year of free updates.

  If you don't want to renew your license after one year, you can continue to use the last version of DevUtils that you have for as long as you want.

  You can renew your license here with a 40% discount for another year of updates. That means the renew price is 60% of your purchase price (before discount) and won't be affected if the app price increases in the future. (e.g., $24 for the Basic License)

[MisterSandman]

I have become the thing I hoped to destroy. Sorry!
