39 | > [!IMPORTANT]
40 | > **Disclaimer:** I have been always passionate about tools. I always loved experimenting until I can find the right tool for the right task. Being a Front-End Developer requires to know the tools that exist and choose the one that will perform the task faster and better. Based on hours of research and testing, I'm sharing all the applications I believe suits the best my work and daily workflow. It's a living MacOS configuration that, I hope, will also save you time for you to enjoy life more!This is a living document. I regularly update it with new tools and applications that I find useful.
41 |
42 | ## Usage
43 |
44 | - I tried to keep the right order you should also follow to install packages and applications on your Mac (particularly the [setup shell](#setup-shell) part)
45 | - Some tools are free and some are not. I'm lucky to have the ability to pay for licences and subscriptions. But if you are not in that situation, 1) You will find free alternatives in the "Alternatives" section of most of the tools, 2) you don't need a paid tool to do an amazing work. Just choose the best tool that suits you and your situation.
46 |
47 | ### Where to find the right tool?
48 | - [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/?ref=thedaviddias) - By far the best and well-know website where you can find almost everything you need. You will sometimes find a badge ![Upvote on Product Hunt][product-hunt] that redirects to the Product Hunt page. Show some ❤️ to the makers!
49 | - [AlternativeTo](https://alternativeto.net/?ref=thedaviddias) - I regularly use AlternativeTo but find it limited and not always accurate. The "ups" are most of the time not relevant or doesn't reflect what people prefer the most. It's a great place to start if you are looking for a list of alternatives though.
50 | - [Slant](https://www.slant.co/?ref=thedaviddias) and [stackshare](https://stackshare.io/?ref=thedaviddias) - Slant and Stackshare are kind of similar but Stackshare is more developer tools focused. It's a nice source of information to compare apps / web apps.
51 |
52 | ## My Hardware
53 |
54 | I regularly update all [my hardware](https://ddias.link/kit) on a dedicated page on kit.co. Feel free to check it out!
55 |
56 | ## Setup shell
57 |
58 | #### [Xcode 16](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)
59 |
60 | - Xcode is required for some applications to run. So having Xcode updated just remove the issue of not being able to install some apps.
61 |
62 | ```sh
63 | xcode-select --install
64 | ```
65 |
66 | #### [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) - The Missing Package Manager for macOS
67 |
68 | ```sh
69 | $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
70 | ```
71 |
72 | With Homebrew comes `brew-cask` which will allow to install applications with the command line.
73 |
74 | ##### Useful commands for Homebrew
75 |
76 | ```sh
77 | brew update # Fetch latest version of homebrew and formula.
78 | brew search {app name} # Searches all known Casks for a partial or exact match.
79 | brew install {package name} # Install a package
80 | brew info --cask {app name} # Displays information about a given Cask
81 | brew install --cask {app name} # Install the given cask.
82 | brew cleanup
83 | ```
84 |
85 | ##### [Cakebrew](https://www.cakebrew.com/) (optional) - A GUI for Cask
86 |
87 | ```sh
88 | brew install --cask cakebrew
89 | ```
90 |
91 | #### ZSH - An alternative shell to Bash
92 |
93 | ```sh
94 | brew install zsh
95 | ```
96 |
97 | Add this to my `~/.zshrc`
98 |
99 | ```sh
100 | export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--appdir=/Applications"
101 | ```
102 |
103 | #### [Oh My Zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/#install) - Framework for managing your Zsh configuration
104 |
105 | Verify that ZSH is correctly installed
106 |
107 | ```sh
108 | zsh --version
109 | ```
110 |
111 | Additionally, Zsh should be set as the default shell.
112 | Run `echo $SHELL` from a new terminal to confirm.
113 | Expected result: `/usr/bin/zsh` or similar
114 |
115 | ```sh
116 | sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
117 | ```
118 |
119 | Check if Oh My Zsh was correctly installed.

329 |
330 | ### Bare minimum
331 |
332 | This is the list of the most essentials apps I would install if I was limited in the number of apps to have.
333 |
334 |
335 |
336 | #### [Little Snitch](https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html) - Control incoming/outgoing network traffic
337 | ![Licence ~$30][licence-30] ![Usage high][usage-high] [![Upvote on Product Hunt][product-hunt]](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/little-snitch-4)
338 |
339 |
What for? - What I ❤️ - What I 👎
341 |
342 | ##### What for?
343 |
344 | * Little Snitch is perfect to block outgoing or incoming connections.
345 | * When **I'm on the go** and using my mobile data, I usually block some heavy connections so I limit the amount of data spent.
346 |
347 | ##### What I ❤️
348 |
349 | * Easy to use and clean UI
350 |
351 | ##### What I 👎
352 |
353 | * I wish the confirmation window could save "my preferences", so I would not have to select "forever" every time.
354 |
355 |
363 |
364 | #### [1Password](https://1password.com) - Password manager
365 | ![Yearly subscription][subscription-yearly] ![High usage][usage-high] ![Proprietary backup][backup-proprietary] [![Upvote on Product Hunt][product-hunt]](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/1password-7-for-mac-and-windows)
366 |
367 |
What for? - What I ❤️ - What I 👎
369 |
370 | ##### What for?
371 |
372 | * **Generate all of my passwords** with it and keep everything in a secured and encrypted vault kept secure by my one master password.
373 | * No longer need to remember passwords and I now have a unique password for every website **[activating two factor authentication](https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/)** wherever possible.
374 | * All my **applications licences** are saved in 1Password
375 |
376 | ##### What I ❤️
377 |
378 | * 1Password is a native MacOS app and it's probably one of the reason I choose to move away from [LastPass](https://www.lastpass.com/) in 2019.
379 | * Fast
380 | * I can save not just passwords but secure notes, bank accounts, licences...
381 | * Have a shared vault with my wife and being able to send her by Airdrop a new entry.
382 |
383 | ##### What I 👎
384 |
385 | * I loved that LastPass could recognize a form and automatically filled the inputs on a Website. 1Password requires you to 1) Click on the browser extension, 2) Click on "autofill"
386 | * Not sure if it will be one day possible, but unlocking 1Password with the Apple Watch would be awesome.

410 |
411 | ##### What for?
412 |
413 | * **Open or switch quickly** to any application
414 | * **Text expansions**: previously using [TextExpander](https://textexpander.com/), I switched in using the snippet feature in Alfred.
