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.
- I tried to keep the right order you should also follow to install packages and applications on your Mac (particularly the setup shell part)
- 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.
- Product Hunt - By far the best and well-know website where you can find almost everything you need. You will sometimes find a badge
that redirects to the Product Hunt page. Show some ❤️ to the makers!
- AlternativeTo - 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.
- Slant and stackshare - 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.
I regularly update all my hardware on a dedicated page on kit.co. Feel free to check it out!
- Xcode is required for some applications to run. So having Xcode updated just remove the issue of not being able to install some apps.

This is a complete list of all the applications I have on my personal and professional Mac (some apps are only on my personal computer).
🎁 Some applications can be bought individually or you can subscribe Setapp for a 7-day free trial to test multiple applications and decide the one you want to use!
This is the list of the most essentials apps I would install if I was limited in the number of apps to have.

- Have a shared vault with my wife and being able to send her by Airdrop a new entry.
