Abstract: As a heavy Mac user who likes to play around with things, I decided to share my software list after trying to reinstall the system no less than 50 times and installing more than a dozen programs in almost every category. Three rules for choosing an app: Try to use native software such as calendar, reminders, memos, Pages, Keynote, etc. Keep only one app that can be installed without time management


As a heavy Mac user who likes to play around with things, I decided to share my list of apps after no less than 50 reinstalls and more than a dozen installs in almost every category.


Three principles for choosing an app:
  • Try to use native software such as calendar, reminders, memos, Pages, Keynote, etc
  • Only one of the same kind of software is reserved
  • Don’t install software if you can


Time management

Writing the final


Tools are the solution of the world! Good tools can do twice the work, but too many tools tend to clutter up our lives. So my advice in choosing tools is to have as few tools as possible, and then use them to the maximum!
