Apps

This is a list of the applications that I consider essential.

Development

Atom is a text editor that’s modern, approachable, yet hackable to the core—a tool you can customize to do anything but also use productively without ever touching a config file.

Requires Xcode Command Line Tools

• Download from the official site.
• Install, from a terminal, using Homebrew Cask, using brew cask install atom

Productivity

2Do is a excellent app for tracking checklists, tasks, and projects.

• Available for OS X and iPhone/iPad.

Package Managers

Alcatraz is an open-source package manager for Xcode, that lets you discover and install plugins, templates, and color schemes without the need for manually cloning or copying files. Alcatraz installs itself as a part of Xcode.

Requires Xcode Command Line Tools

• Download the source from GitHub
• Install, from a terminal, with curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/supermarin/Alcatraz/deploy/Scripts/install.sh | sh
