Five Must-Have Essential macOS Apps

 

1. Downie

Downie is a versatile downloader, now in its 4th generation. It can be used as a browser plugin, allowing you to download almost anything from the web. For instance, if you find an interesting video online and want to watch it repeatedly, just click the Downie icon in the top-left corner of your browser, select the video you want to download, and it will start downloading immediately. You can also copy the webpage link into Downie, and it will download the content flawlessly.

2. ServBay

ServBay is an incredible development environment tool. Even though PHP 8.4 hasn't officially launched, ServBay has already integrated the 8.4 package. I can confidently say this is the best development environment I've ever used. It saves me the hassle of setting up the environment, significantly saving my time. You can install any package with just a click, which is very convenient. It also supports custom domains and multiple hosts. As a web developer, if I could only keep one software, it would definitely be ServBay.

3. Adguard

Adguard is a powerful ad blocker that can also be used as a Safari browser plugin. Simply enable Safari in the software settings. When you open the browser, click "Block Element" in the menu bar, select the type and area of the ad you want to remove, and click "Block". These ads won’t appear again. Adguard also has a fantastic feature that blocks pre-roll ads in videos for free, meaning you can watch videos without any annoying ads before the main content starts—a great relief for binge-watchers.

4. Paste

Paste is a convenient clipboard application that allows users to quickly set a shortcut for accessing the clipboard. It can store an unlimited number of copied items, so you never have to worry about losing content you want to paste. It can handle text, links, files, and images without any issues. Another handy feature is the ability to pin frequently used items, such as phone numbers and email addresses, to the top of the clipboard for easy access.

5. Dropover

Dropover is extremely useful when you need to organize files by dragging and dropping them. When you need to move files to a specific location, use Dropover. While dragging files, a "shelf" appears next to the folder. You can drag all the files you need onto the "shelf" at once. Then, open the destination folder and drag the "shelf" into it to complete the file transfer efficiently. This eliminates the need to open multiple windows.

In 2024, PHP remains a strong contender in modern web development. Despite a decline in its ranking on the TIOBE index, PHP is still one of the most widely used programming languages for websites.
