Thanks for that quick rundown on some decent apps - I hadn't seen Hazel before, but it looks great so I'll definitely have a look at it - thanks as always.👏

There are some awesome suggestions in here, thank you! Grabbed Pastel and Forecast and can't wait to put them to work!

Great video thanks for the tips!

love this list, im def check out some, 1. also tip for the hazel screenshot, you can do that natively on mac os cmd+shift+5 > options > save to other location, an manually choose thats how i select my screenshot folder in a download folder. 2. loopback alternative is soundsource, you can output audio based on application or audio port such as wired headphones vs bluetooth headphones

Great list, I would add Alfred. It is a must have for any Mac user. Velja is also another great tool.
