Mac Apps

Here are some general purpose apps that I use on my Mac.

This is an essential app for me. It lets you use the keyboard to rearrange windows. Apple should build something into the OS to handle this. Until then, this works pretty darn well.

This app that makes learning Mac keyboard shortcuts much easier.  When you want to look up a keyboard shortcut for the app you have open, hold down the "Command" button.  After a few seconds, a popup appears with a menu of keyboard shortcuts available for a given application.

It is basically a keyboard shortcut to the keyboard shortcuts menu for a given application.

This is a great idea for any operating system.  Give the user one way to quickly see available keyboard shortcuts for any application. Over time, I have been using this app less and less, probably because you don't need the app once you've learned them.
