What I’m Using
❤️ Essential, there is no other product that can replace it currently.
👍 First choice, but occasionally needs to be supplemented with other products of the same type to 100% meet my needs.
macOS App
- Raycast ❤️
A launcher, modern, fast, cool, supporting a lot of extensions; I’ve tried similar products like the well-known Alfred, but I’m not used to it.
Oh by the way, if you’re using Lark/Feishu, you can try my Raycast extension, Feishu Document Creator, which helps you create a new Lark/Feishu document with one click.
In Raycast, I still have some commonly used extensions:
- Color Picker: Mainly used for color sampling.
- Random Data Generator: Generate various placeholder data during development.
- Sink Short Links Manager: Manage my self-deployed Sink short links, the deployment method can refer to the article How to Deploy Sink Short Link Service on Cloudflare.
🎁 Promotional Information: Use this link to register for a Raycast Pro subscription and get 10% discount.
- RIME ❤️
A Chinese input method engine that has been used for many years, can achieve 100% personalized input method, my configuration can be referenced to My Rime Input Method Configuration.
- Ghostty ❤️
Terminal emulator, powerful and beautiful, cross-platform, ready to use, very suitable for me as a daily non-heavy terminal user.
- Claude Code ❤️
Not just coding, but a system-level AI assistant.
- Bob ❤️
Core functions are translation & OCR, ready to use out of the box, and also support a wide range of extended services. I have configured Kimi and DeepSeek’s API as translation services, and OCR uses the system’s built-in OCR service.
- Itsycal ❤️
A tiny menu bar calendar.
- BetterMouse ❤️
Customize shortcut keys for my Logitech M720 Triathlon mouse, say goodbye to bulky and slow Logitech Options, and enhance the mouse scrolling experience.
Integrate multiple AI models into one chatbox.
- Zipic 👍
Image compression app, high compression but high fidelity, pure local compression, native system experience, I once batch compressed thousands of images at once, fast and smooth.
Some special image file formats may not be processed.
- Zed 👍
The most commonly used code editor, minimalist and fast, almost completely replaces Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text.
- Typora 👍
I think the best Markdown editor.
- Snipaste 👍
Screenshot and pin, may not be the best screenshot app on macOS, but I’m very used to using it.
- Xcodes 👍
Manage multiple versions of Xcode, and significantly improve the download speed of Xcode.
