Workarounds for Apple's shoddy engineering

  • BalanceLock ensures left-right balance on connected headsets stays in the middle. Most of the time.
  • AltTab lets you switch windows, not just apps.
  • EasyRes allows quickly switching between display resolutions, ideal for Google Meet meetings and their awful 1080p (at best) output.
  • Espanso is a cross-platform text expander.
  • Hidden Bar allows hiding away little-used menubar apps.
  • Hot shows how badly Apple's thermal design is failing you, a constant reminder you should have bought anything else and installed Arch.
  • MeetingBar helps you join meetings on time without faffing around for the link.
  • PullBar shows GitHub pull requests in the menu bar. Useful for keeping an eye on checks' status.
  • Rectangle makes window management somewhat usable on larger displays.
