💻 Anyone got any go-to's for when they get a new Mac?

Question

Shiny New MacBook Pro arrived yesterday! I think I'm going to rock Cursor initially. Anyone got any go-to's for when they get a new Mac?

(Realised I should have posted this as a questions rather than a To Do.)

Raycast app launcher and a bunch of extensions in it. That would be my first step.

1. Installing OhMyZsh, Homebrew and asdf. 
2. A different browser (Brave ftw)

Already a big fan of Arc and Cursor. Out of interest, on Cursor do you pay for the latter or provide your own API key?

Naveen Naidu · Answer

These are my go to apps that I download on new mac
- Arc Browser
- Cursor code editor
- FridayGPT (my app)
- Muse
- Notion Calendar
- Raycast
- Reflect
- Screen Studio
- Things 3
- Warp Terminal
- Itsycal

Nik Spyratos · Answer

Raycast
Clop (standalone or as part of SetApp subscription)
Warp.dev
Caffeine (various apps like this that do the same thing)
Unnatural Scroll Wheels - fixes the inconsistent behaviour between trackpad scroll wheel and mouse scroll wheel.
DBngin if you're a dev and want quick databases/Redis.

Those are the only MacOS specific things I'd recommend.
